Must resolve is not literal, don't act offended
Things do resolve in a certain way within those chords, I love freedom but facts is facts. If you like the sound of western music your ears already agree, in fact there are rules to counterpoint just so the cacophony of possibilities is limited to the most common, most satisfying ones. You may certainly disobey those rules, all good composers use the rules as fuel, but are savvy enough to abandon rules when they don't supply the most satisfying results.

might a simple keyboard allow the OP to use his eyes and ears to both see and hear what's actually occurring with voice leading "mumbo jumbo" theory. this is basic stuff...if you can't see it on a guitar go to a keyboard.
or in the words of Miles when asked how he discovered things not common to horn players? "study piano MF!"
