If you're somewhat new to playing guitar, you might be wondering how to turn your foundational knowledge of basic chords into your own melodies. Maybe you've been wondering how to decipher the tablature of some of your favorite songs-- here's Chris McKee to put those melodies into perspective, and show you how he conceived some of his regular demo songs. By looking at the individual notes inside those basic chords and scales, it's so much easier to visualize melodies that conform to your key. As always, we want to help you make great music on a great instrument! Comment below and tell us your favorite melodies, we'd love to hear what you come up with.

Dude you just unlocked the guitar for me. Great teacher here

@jefferp 4 года назад

I’m an old guy learning guitar. I tell my teacher, who is also my Nephew, that if I can take away a nugget a week I’m happy. Watching your great video lets me know that I have actually learned quite a bit. That video is a gold mine. Please do more!

@fettuccinealraver 27 дней назад

Extremely well explained. I love embellishing jazz chords, really unlocks some interesting melodies.

You got it!

@robertblackstock6866 4 года назад

Fantastic. Thank you. I listen to you all the time. Love your reviews and your playing style. Really appreciate the lesson Chris.

@robb4357 4 года назад

Cool video! You should do more videos like this, it was really helpful

@mboyer68 Год назад

My niece gave me beginner music books and I didn't know about tabs. So I learned how to read music by playing songs I know while reading the music for it. Obviously basics but it worked!

@TeeHau 4 года назад

Finally... finally....What a big surprise from you. This is so cool !!! Thank you very much Chris. I watched many video from your youtube channel to learn on technologies, wood and knowledge of different Guitar. Of course also enjoy these music played by you. I always wanted to learn these, thank you.

@donnacornell6340 4 года назад

OMG....I'm a beginner but that is so refreshing and makes total sense

@FAD11170 4 года назад

A real appreciated offer. You opened our eyes (older students) to very interesting thoughts and hidden gems. I love the simplicity, smoothness and challenges it gives us. I really wish you would continue these kind of lessons and maybe simplify them even more for early beginners that know a scale or two. Please continue. It’s wonderful and ur natural.

@gregbaker3701 4 года назад

Another great video Chris. I’d definitely like to see more of these!

@jeffbradley8904 4 года назад

That is great. Thanks for taking the time to break that down.

@rezasadr2045 4 года назад

Brilliant. Thank you. More of this type of thing would be much appreciated.

@maxallmark736 4 года назад

You are such an amazing guitarist!!! I really appreciate all of your content you helped me decide on my current Taylor guitar! This video is also a light spot durning dark times for me!!!

@scame76 4 года назад

Chris that's cool and I really like that song or piece

@piquinto80 4 года назад

Wauw thanks man, i really enjoy your songs. I tried to transcribe the song that starts on the G, but this helps loads.

@bubbajeph 4 года назад

I could listen to you play the guitar for hours. Been watching your videos trying out several guitars. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

@jcassell111 4 года назад

Need more of these.

@jubaidahmed8124 3 года назад

extremely helpful, thank you so much

@MelodyMaker 4 года назад

Nice break from guitar gear talk. Looking forward to hearing more new material in the context of showcasing these acoustic beauties.

@teofiloljubisavljevic7943 3 года назад

Ill revisit this in a year, and hopefully ill be able to put it to use.

@denbo6054 4 года назад

Thanks Chris. Good stuff

@arthurl2045 3 года назад

Great instruction, thanks.

@Dr.Erick-Neres 4 года назад

Although I am a beginner and still need to understand how it all works, my dream is to play pieces like these! I have ben looking and trying to figure out how you play these pieces! I would love the tabs, but the cocepts you approched here are gold.

@danieli.9252 4 года назад

Thanks for this. This is where I am in my guitar journey -- trying to see the fretboard in a more musical way.

@ektalon1 4 года назад

Although way ahead of where I am in learning guitar, still very enjoyable and informative.

@michaelstaeheli1598 4 года назад

I found this to be extraordinarily useful. I am trying to move from chords to fingerpicking. This is so useful because it’s so intuitive. I find that seeing the chord listed above tablature helps, but I am also learning to “read” notes by looking at just the chord itself. Your approach is a real eye opener. Thanks for all you do ,

@LevinLg17 4 года назад

Thank you for sharing this. I have followed your videos and I really admire your playing. I have run your videos in slow motion to try and figure out your fingering. I have ended up with more or less my own version of them. So, would love see more about your songs and how they are put together.

@ModernVintageJourneyman 4 года назад

Thank you for taking the time to explain what I've been appreciating about your playing.

@RobertWhitfield 2 года назад

Thanks for showing that lick with the E5 Chris, it is wonderful, and I have seen guys in Singapor music stores playing it!

@Polkat 4 года назад

Thanks Chris! Very good if not somewhat common advice. I doubt you'd have to tab out the tune I'm interested in. 10 minutes of video would explain the whole thing. You already taught the start. Thanks again!

@robertawallace1297 3 года назад

More of this please 🙏

@rhoff7272 4 года назад

Awesome video, well done. Bought a guitar from you guys last summer, keep it up and I'll be coming back for lessons haha

@demoschmidt1802 4 года назад

Glad it was helpful!

@danielstapleton8875 4 года назад

Good lesson. Subscribed.

@SignatureDetailingVictoria 4 года назад

So i was watching a review of a guitar and i thought to myself, man i really love these melody's i wish i knew what they were. This was the next video i watched. Man, this video is actually a game changer for me. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@AlamoMusic 4 года назад

You're very welcome!

@thongamchan775 4 года назад

Hi good morning, Chris, I already learnt how to play the third one but not in the same position as what You do but on the basis of what I could hear as a groove of melody in my brain. Sometimes, it takes too much time to trying to copy some one's playing exactly. Nonthless I copied Slas's Solo part in "sweet child of mine" as I like it as a killer solo and it made me pleased playing guitar during this long lockdown period for the last 20 days.

@roberthealy1814 4 года назад

Just learning, Nice presentation. Need to find a good teacher.

@Alectrizo 25 дней назад

Dude that was kind of eye opening

@sundialsoft 4 года назад

Your little tune at 6:18 that you play in full elsewhere is deserving of a name and a tab. I'm working it out just by watching your Martin review video. There's also a guy playing it elsewhere on RU-vid too.

@andyreynolds4465 2 года назад

Did you ever fully transcribe it? If so would love if you could share your tab.

@orneryduck4646 Год назад

Any chance you have the TAB for these shared anywhere to help fill in the blanks? I think I'm getting the idea of it but it was still a bit hard to follow your hands as you moved through he melodies. Seeing your demos is one of my favorite things just because the music used is so energetic and seems to fly across the neck of the guitar compared to any of the 'top 40' stuff for any given generation that we tend to draw ourselves into as newer players.

@camarozaman123 4 года назад

Can you give a list.. yamaha guitar tht are made in japan?

@KillerBudda1418 4 года назад

@anthonyrussell1129 4 года назад

6:16 please what song is this. Is there a link to a video, i'd like to learn this😃

@thomjarvis 4 года назад

Good stuff! Is that a 12 fret Taylor you’re playing?

@AlamoMusic 4 года назад

It is, a 812ce 12 fret

@redbird963 4 года назад

Is the scale determined by each chord or by the main key? In other words, do I need to change the embellish notes with each chord change?

@danieli.9252 4 года назад

I was wondering the same thing.

@JeffandHansel 4 года назад

In general you stick with notes that are in the scale of the key of your tune. For example: if you are playing in G major and you want to embellish on a C cord, then you would still play the F sharp presant in the G major scale rather then the F natural that is in the C major scale. Keep in mind though that this is general advice, their are always exceptions in music depending on the genre and style you are playing. I hope this helps.

@kalvino67 4 года назад

How do you know what key you are in?

@Bjowolf2 4 года назад

From the chords and scales - these chords come in families: C, F, G(7), Am,... are the chords of C-major; G, C, D(7), Em, ... are the chords of G-major etc. ( the C & Am scales overlap (parallel chords), as do the G & Em scales ... and so on )
