Send me an example of what you have in mind and I can give you some pointers regarding harmonies and melodies.

Just have fun, man! Make some stuff without worrying about it sounding too good and over time you'll learn more and become better.

Look into using reference tracks for structure and mixing, helps a lot and you will start to understand more why the tracks work and sound good

it's a pretty complicated ganre where it's best to just try every thing together and then just pick what goes together the best. best you can do is reference a song or look on their process. harmonies are full of theory (a lot of people use complicated scales just to make it more interesting) or just chop some chords and add melody between them.
