for some it helps to think in the chord. knowing substitutions for chords; ie C6 for C maj. and for others it may be knowing more melody. try scatting (making up a melody in the chord using words or nonsense sounds with your own melody to the chord structure) If this is over your head or I'm being too wordy. always revert to someone elses rendetion of the tune as talked about in the first reply.
