    how did you manage to figure out which notes would work well together?

I'm very curious about these things, I just paid attention to what sounds good to me and what doesn't and found the differences.

Songs I like tend to have evolving patterns, challanging me to guess what comes next so I can feel clever when I do, each time the notes or rhythm change, they change based off some 'rule' so I can predict what's going to happen with some difficulty. Sometimes the rule changes too, and there are rules about rule changing etc.

No idea why I still like some songs I've heard a million times though, I'm guessing there are several elements to music that people enjoy.
