Hey guys, welcome to another fingerpicking guitar lesson. Today I am going to show you how to play a lovely fingerstyle melody in A major.

The melody was written over the last couple of days while chilling on my couch. As a result, the melody sounds quite relaxing, positive, and bluesy.

Different musical elements can make this melody challenging at first. The rhythm and the thumb-slap technique, to mention a few. For this reason, we will take things step-by-step and begin by learning the chord progression.

The chords are pretty simple and beautiful to play: A Amaj7 Bm E7 E9 A Bm E.

Once you familiarize yourself with the chords, you will then add the melody and, eventually, the thumb-slap technique.

Good luck with this lesson.
