Once you’ve made some progress in your ability to play
the chords to a bunch of songs that you can sing along to, you might be
interested in learning how to play instrumental, non-vocal arrangements
of songs you like. This is where you would play the melody
and
certain parts of the chords at the same time, which is known as Chord
Melody Style, and is what Jake Shimabukuro has mastered. This
book illustrates the principles for achieving this with the use of 17
well known tunes at two different levels of difficulty, Plain and
Fancy. These aren’t the most exciting tunes—they need to be
in
the public domain for me to use them—but they’re ones you probably
know, and you can take these principles forward to try arranging tunes
on your own that you DO like. Presented in Tablature with
Chord
Diagrams.
