Guitar Melody in C major for Beginners

New Program “Melodic Fingerstyle in 8 Bars”

Today I will introduce you to my new fingerstyle program, “Melodic Fingerstyle in 8 Bars”.

In this program, we will learn a lot about melody, fingerstyle, and chords.

One of the main aspects of fingerstyle guitar is combining chords and melodies in what I call the “Chord Melody” approach.

This way of playing can be really satisfying and fulfilling because you will feel like playing a real song even if you are at the early stage of your guitar playing.

Beginners will find the “Melodic Fingerstyle in 8 Bars” program really useful and easy to follow.

Today we are checking out the INTERMEDIATE LEVEL PART 1.

Enjoy the lesson.

The Program in Details

Three Levels, One Mission.

My mission with this program is very simple and straightforward: I WANT TO CREATE BEAUTIFUL MELODIES THAT YOU CAN PLAY TO IMPROVE YOUR FINGERSTYLE TECHNIQUE, MUSIC CREATIVITY, AND FRETBOARD KNOWLEDGE.

Each lesson is organized into three levels: BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED LEVEL.

• With the Beginner Level, I will lay down the chord progression and show you how to simplify the chords so they sound melodic and musical.
• The Intermediate Level develops melodically, providing the right balance between challenge and enjoyment. I really work hard to make the melody not too difficult and “step by step.”
• The Advanced level will develop further more and become more challenging. The melody is stuffed with notes and embellishments. You really have the feeling you are playing a song.

Three Levels will help you track your progress.

You will love it.

Each Level in 8 Bars

You will love the fact that each one of the three levels is only 8 bars long.

I really think that working on such a small section helps you maximize your time, effort, and progress.

It is also easy to organize the lessons to learn one thing at a time without feeling overwhelmed.

Preview of Three Levels

Beginner Level

This level is perfect for learning and simplifies the chord progression. If you are familiar with my program, Acoustic Steps, you will notice a similarity with the method’s first exercise.

The Beginner Level concept is to learn the ROOT NOTE of each chord and then add the melody based on the chords and scales used.

Notice that each chord has a different voicing that makes up a catchy melody.

And this is only the beginning.

Intermediate Level

It is time to make the melody more challenging and fun to play.

The chord progression didn’t change, so you can benefit from what you’ve learned at the Beginner level.

Advanced Level

Rhythmically and melodically challenging, the Advanced level is the last stage of each exercise.

The idea here is to create the right blend between technique and melody.

We still want the melody to be recognized, and coming up with something too technical and difficult will easily transform the Advanced level into a technique exercise.

Definitely, the hardest level to write but a beautiful guitar melody.
