How To Create Beautiful Sounding Melodies On Guitar

In this video tutorial, I take you through a simple process to convert any melody you play on guitar into something that sounds beautiful and magical.

The simple concept you will use to do this is open strings.

Open strings, outside of their conventional use, can really bring a magical sound to your guitar playing.

What you are about to see is an excerpt of a masterclass I provided my online students.

In addition to this, I show you how to then take the melody and create an arrangement out of it using simple chords.
