Adding melodic ideas to chordal rhythm guitar parts can make them stand out and sound more musical. There’s an easy way to do this, by learning what melody notes you can play on top of simple triad shapes.
Focusing on 4 string triad shapes, I’ll walk you through one approach that can help you easily jump into this type of playing. We’ll look at triad shapes on the first 4 strings that give you easy access to melody notes that you can improvise with to create your own melodies, while supporting them with complimentary chords.
I’ll give you 3 practice examples that you can follow along with as a starting point to exploring on your own.
This concept is something I’ve used for years in my playing and still use to this day. If you’ve struggled to break out of dry and repetitive rhythm playing, or if you’ve been wanting to learn how to play chord solos, this lesson will be helpful for you.
Thanks for your support,
Trent
