It seems like the strumming songs which I’ve been taught in group lessons all require some sort of accompaniment.
The private lessons I’ve taken (2 instructors) were not well planned and were about either theory or riffs, not performance pieces.
I have picked up skill sets like hammer-ons, pick-offs, rhythm, reading music and tab notation, some finger picking, open and barre chords. Enough that I feel if provided the right direction and materials I could create a great repertoire.
I’d like to find songs which do not require accompaniment.
Can you help? :confused:
