Six Melodies in A minor

that Sound Awesome on Acoustic Guitar

Hey guys, today I had a ton of fun recording this video so I am super happy to share it with you!

There are days where I feel like playing something without necessarily have to “transform it” into a guitar lesson even though, as you will see in this video, I always break it down so that you can learn something out of it.

In this video I am going to play six melodies in A minor that really sound awesome on acoustic guitar. I am using a backing track I have recorded so that can improvise and solo before deciding which are the melodies I like the most.

Writing melodies on acoustic guitar is one of the most enjoyable task for such “melodies” addict like me. Even when I improvise, I like to make it melodic.

Writing and playing a solo in fingerstyle is something you must try!

The amazing thing about fingerstyle is that you can really personalize the tone, intensity and dynamic of each note you play. Try to learn a simple melody and pluck the strings in different positions to change the tone.

In this video, I like to play the six melodies in A minor with my fingers (rather than a guitar pick) so I can really decide which type of tone I want for each phrase.

Speed isn’t important for me. In fact, I like to play slowly and I focus much more on the shape and contour of each melody rather than the speed or number of notes I play.

If you want to learn the six melodies in A minor I am playing in this video, make sure you get the tab and backing track on my Patreon page so you can play along with the music.

Enjoy this video guys.
