How to Match Chord with Melody Guitar

Lately I’ve been posting chord melody ideas with easy chords and progressions and the feedback is really positive, so I created another one for you today. This one is an uptempo feel good chord melody with some “Brown eyed girl” and “Lean on me” feel and influences, that really gets you in the summer time vibes.

Video Lesson

How to Match Chord with Melody Guitar

We’re going to match the chords C, F and G with some nice 3rd intervals creating a melody that fits perfectly right with the chords and chord progression.

The key thing to learn here is to know the intervals match the chords so you can always play these intervals next time when you’re playing the chords in different progression or song to spice things up whenever you feel like it.

Enjoy!

How to Play Beautiful Chords and Melody

By Klaus Crow 2 Comments

The combination of playing chords and melody is a popular method to get a beautiful sound from your guitar. That’s why I created a series of these chord melody tunes. This one is a really beauty with lots a different embellishments and guitar techniques.

How to Play Beautiful Chords and Melody

For this chord melody we start the song in Am. The chords for this tune are Am – G (add9) – F – D – Dsus2 – Dm – Gsus4 and C. For the right hand we use the picking technique, where you always play with your pick in the direction of the next following note (I explain this in the video lesson).

You can also play the tune using the fingerpicking method with the thumb for the Low E – A and D string, the index finger for the G-string, the middle finger for the B-string and the ring finger for the high e-string.

This is a beautiful chord melody to practice, memorize and keep practicing to become part of your guitar repertoire.

Enjoy to the fullest!

Easy Classical Guitar Etude

By Klaus Crow Leave a Comment

Today I have a nice short, mid-easy classical guitar etude for you with some beautiful sounding chords and a Klaus twist. I studied classical guitar from a private teacher for a couple of years and I learned a lot from that. These days I focus more on blues, pop and rock guitar, but I always have a special place in my heart for classical guitar.

Enjoy the lesson!
