Try using the cycle of fifths... pay close attention to how the chords work.

Chord 1 (starting chord): major
Chord 2: minor
Chord 3: minor
Chord 4: major
Chord 5: major
Chord 6: minor
Chord 7: diminished

So if you were using C, it would be:

C - Dm - Em - F - G - Am - Bdim. So work with the chords you have. Try stringing the vitals together- 1st, 4th & 5th... and play what sounds right to you. :)

+1 The cycle of fourths/fifths is a way of learning the fingerboard and of transposing into different keys.

To connect them tightly, try baling wire. Be careful you don't poke or cut yourself, tetanus is bad.
