💬 LESSON DESCRIPTION:
This is another episode of my latest YouTube series called “Make It a Chord Melody”.
Quick note: After next week I’ll be taking a break from the topic of chord melodies, but I’ll continue adding to this series in the future.
I want to share an important concept with you in today’s video.
Chord melodies, harmonizing melodies with chord shapes, isn’t just for jazz.
We can play any melody—nursery rhymes, traditional tunes, pop songs, folk repertoire, country music, anything!—as a chord melody.
No matter what kind of music you’re into, this practice allows you to hear the harmony and the melody at the same time on one instrument.
To demonstrate this, in this lesson, I arrange a portion of the traditional country song, “Long Black Veil,” as a chord melody.
“Long Black Veil” is an excellent example that contrasts the sound of jazz: the melody is based on a pentatonic scale, and the chords are simple I, IV, V triads.
The end result is lovely!
Let me know in the comments what song you’re inspired to arrange as a chord melody for yourself.
I hope you enjoyed this lesson about creating guitar chord melodies and found it beneficial. Let me know what you thought in the comments.
Thanks! :)
