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.

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!

It looks like the video and tab donโt match up. But then again Iโm an old person!
Klaus Crow says
Hi Sue,
Can you be a bit more specific because as I see it, it doest match up.
Are you referring to a specific part in the TABS or the entire tabs?
Let me know so I can help you out.
Best,
Klaus

I am just starting to write guitar sheet music how do I play chords and tabs at the same time
Klaus Crow says
Hi Dayle,
You probably mean “how do I play chords and melody at the same time”
You can’t play chord and melody exactly at the same time, but you can combine the both of them,
so they intertwine.
You can see an example of this in the video of this post.
I also have a couple of others on my YouTube channel.

Klaus!
Glad you’re ok. Your site was down for a while and, this is funny, I actually emailed the Netherlands embassy in Atlanta, GA, USA to see if you were doing all right. Assuming you are as your site is back and working.
Cheers from the States,
Paul
