Learn 6 Chord Melody Versions of Popular Hit Songs
In this first volume of our Chord Melody SongPack series, you'll learn how to play 6 chord melody versions of classic and modern hit songs. All 6 songs are arranged, performed and taught by Callum Bair: I Say A Little Prayer, Human Nature, Somebody That I Used to Know, What's Love Got to Do With It, and Thank U, Next and Wake Me Up When September Ends.
”These six chord melody arrangements of pop songs include both classic soul songs as well as a few contemporary hits that you might hear on a Top 40 radio station. I chose these six songs because each has unique qualities for arranging them, and different skill sets for performing them.
I'll start each song series of video lessons with an overview and full performance. I'll then break it down, section by section. I've also included a practice playalong video with a click track and a much lower volume of my guitar so you can can use both as a guide.”
You'll have all of TrueFire's learning tools at your finger tips to personalize your workspace and learn at your own pace.
You can loop, slow down, or speed up any section of a lesson. Plus, all of the tab and notation is synced to the videos for the optimal learning experience. You'll also get tab and standard notation files to print out, Guitar Pro files, and all of the backing tracks to practice with.
Grab your guitar and let's dig in with Callum Bair!
