Hey guys, welcome to another guitar lesson. Today I want to show you how to add a simple chord progression to a beautiful melody.

I came up with this simple melody a while back, and I thought it would be great to show you how to add a few chords to it so that you can get inspired to pick up your guitar and start practicing.

To make this lesson easy, I decided to break it down into three steps.

• Step 1. Learn the melody.
• Step 2. Add simple chords.
• Step 3. Add percussive rhythm.

The melody is in D major, and it will be played in open position with plenty of open strings and over-ringing notes. The chords in step 2 will be doable and straightforward.

If you are a beginner, spend as much time as you need on step 1 and step 2. Move on to step 3 when you feel ready.

Enjoy the lesson.
