This is the second lesson in my chord melody series called "Chord Melody Made Simple."

Each lesson in this series focuses on ONE specific, bite-sized step of the chord melody process, with explicit practice items clearly defined.

This second lesson is quite simple and short.

The assignment is to practice the chord qualities through C major in the first position (with triads and 7th chords).

Make sure you have this material down, because the following steps will get increasingly challenging.

Thanks for being awesome!

Your guitar coach and practice buddy,

P.S.

I play a simple and lovely chord melody arrangement (turned into a full solo guitar arrangement) of "What a Wonderful World" at the beginning of the video.

It took me about 10 minutes to arrange and practice using my chord melody system.

That's the power of this method. :)
