So i know the major and minor chords.....and i guess i can learn a few other chords thats not an issue

but i want to get better at like messing a bit more with individual notes within chords....

to carry out the song a bit more interesting throughout.....

do you recommend any way to improve on this? any tutorial or method

i don't want to sight read at this stage

Bruh.

First of all you haven't even stated what's exactly that you are looking tutorial for.

But reading from what you've written, you're interested in music harmony, chord progression/cadences/modulation
Again everything that's with music harmony

For that you gotta do a little bit of research

 

It sounds like you should learn the scales that the chords are built from.
Or rather, the scales that can go with the chords.
eg. natural, melodic, and harmonic minor scales.
And the modes of every scale: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aolian & Locrian.
Ionian is your major scale, and Aolian is your relative minor.
Only 5 left to learn!

Barry Harris.... Coltrane sought him out for lessons, the Motown session players took lessons from him & Monk used to live at his house. I can honestly say my life changed after listening to Barry. Amazing thing is he's still alive & gives lessons..


A brief example of how Barry teaches

A VERY basic intro to Barry's method

Clips from his classes at The Hague

A nice presentation of Barry's method

 

Ah. Back to chords. Not scales as said above! But still useful where you are at.

That above quote was what made me think you meant scale notes, but I guess you mean chords like minor 9ths, 13ths etc.
So, do you know every inversion of the major and minor chords you know?
Root, first, and second. And even 3rd depending on the chord.
The thing is, I can't recommend any tutes because I have never used any!
I can guarantee that the Barry Harris vids will be of use though, without even watching them!

 

here's a script snippet using C# to generate random pattern of notes of your choice..

just edit, paste, run in online C# compiler here..
https://repl.it/languages/csharp

PHP:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

class Program {

    
    static void Main(string[] args) {


      var notes = new List<string>
        
      // add/delete notes to randomize inside { }, here .. 
      {"C","D","E","F","G","A","B"}; // example: c major scale

      // change number of random pattern to generate, here..
      var patternAmount = 10;

      // leave this as is.. havefun..
      for(var i = 0; i< patternAmount; i++)
      {     
        var randomize = notes.OrderBy(x => Guid.NewGuid()).ToList();
        Console.Write("Pattern {0}: ", i+1);
        randomize.ForEach(note => Console.Write("{0} ", note));
        Console.WriteLine();
      }
    }
}

just add/remove notes inside curly braces there..

PHP:

      // add/delete notes to randomize inside { }, here ..
      {"C","D","E","F","G","A","B"};

and number of pattern to generate, there..

PHP:

      // change number of random pattern to generate, here..
      var patternAmount = 10;

example output:

Code:

Pattern 1: A C B F D G E
Pattern 2: C G E F D A B
Pattern 3: G B C A D E F
Pattern 4: F D C E B A G
Pattern 5: F A C G E D B
Pattern 6: C D B F E G A
Pattern 7: B G E C D A F
Pattern 8: C G B D F A E
Pattern 9: G A D F B C E
Pattern 10: E D C G A B F
