In this course, I go through a step-by-step process of showing the beginnings of combining chords and melody on guitar, to create a solo arrangement of a tune. The course starts off with the diatonic notes within the first 3 frets of the guitar and moves through scales within the first 3 frets, which are played as single line notes then harmonized with a chord. From there we go onto the first tune harmonized with one chord and progressively get more challenging through each tune, with more chords added to a tune’s melody. Tunes in the lecture process start off with me playing the single line melody of the tune so that the guitar student has a firm grasp of the melody content of the tune on guitar. Then a close analysis of the chords used to harmonize the melody is then slowly played and discussed. A chord melody study is then played which helps in the playing of the tunes solo arrangement. Finally, the solo arrangement of the tune is played. All musical examples have clear music notation and guitar tablature to help. Later in the course, there are chord melody studies that go beyond the first 3 frets of the guitar. We later go from the 1st position chords and melody to the 3rd position and finally up to the 5th position on the guitar fretboard. Chord melody studies are used to introduce these leaps up and down the fretboard. Then tunes with the same idea are introduced.
