Adding The Melody

Description

In this tutorial, you’re going to learn how to incorporate melodies into your fingerstyle guitar playing. This is where you truly start to play full musical pieces because all the components are present: bass, harmony (in the form of chords), and melody. We’re going to cover ascending melodies, descending melodies, and repetitive melodies.

We’re also going to combine these melodies with the chords/bass movement concepts you just learned. This will all be in the key of C still using the same chords and voicings as before so you don’t have to focus on too many new things at once. At the end you’re going to use these skills in a song. This is where the rubber meets the road, and I’m excited to show you how many creative possibilities become available by adding the melody.
