An exercise I was doing a few months ago was to take a melody and reduce it to the least number of notes possible and still carry the tune, then fill the voids with chords. It was interesting how far you can go with it. A companion exercise was to take a song with complex chord progressions and see how many chords you could reduce it to and still carry the melody.
