In this guitar lesson, I will show you a simple melody hack that will instantly make your melody and phrases more colorful and beautiful.

The secret to more colorful melodies is simple: Add one more note to the melody.

There are different ways to do that.

In this lesson, we will focus on the major and minor 6th intervals.

This interval is among one of the most popular chord-like shapes. However, it is only played with two notes, so we can’t label it as a chord. It works great with simple and slow melodies.

Enjoy the lesson.
