Hey guys, let me show you how to play a simple melody combining a simple fingerpicking pattern, beautiful chords, and an interesting rhythmic pattern.

When you combine three musical examples such as fingerstyle, rhythm, and chords you can decide to keep the fingerstyle pattern simple and challenge the chords and rhythm.

In this example, the rhythm is the element that really gives groove and dynamics to the music while keeping the plucking simple. The melody repeats the same thing over different chords. Learn the melody one time and just change the bass note.

As always, take things step-by-step and learn one chord at a time. Start with the rhythm though and learn the most challenging element before moving on to the chords and plucking pattern.

Enjoy this lesson.
