Some more progress with Chord Melody Arranging

Oooh…I’m so happy with this little thing! :sweat_smile:

This is what happened: while picking and singing this one with the kids in May I happened to think that it was very clear to me where the melody notes were within the bars, and I guessed working out a little chord melody shouldn’t be too difficult! In fact it now took me only a few days!

Awww…isn’t it sweet?! :grimacing::upside_down_face:

Now I promise I won’t play it anymore before the autumn comes again…or Rogier @roger_holland will curse on me for interfering with his rain dances :joy::hot_face::ice:

But I had to record it now because it feels like a big achievement for me, to be able to pick a melody, no matter how simple, through fast (for my standards) sixteenth notes fingerpicking. YAY!!! :upside_down_face:

That’s so neat. It sounds so complex and 16th notes give it such depth. You can totally follow the nice melody :grin:

Although I wonder whether you have really flagged a post, I just clicked on it and see that a choice has been added, but just like before, I think you have to click 2 times in that screen (so actually 3 wrong clicks), I will do a test now and see if you now receive a message that way (only 2x I click a box and shut it down).

at least you have make me laugh again. In the past I accidentally submitted a post with a flag because my fingers sometimes have a kind of spasm at the wrong time on the mouse pad.

Thank you everyone for stopping by, listen and drop a like or a comment!

Yes, it’s *Rain Rain go away *! Only I didn’t write the title otherwise no-one would have checked it :zany_face::innocent::grin:

Andrea see…by not writing the title I kind of auto censured it myself as “innapropriate” in a Forum of rockers :joy:

That’s exacly what I thought! How it came to me naturally! Thanks for putting it down so well in english!

NEVER STOP THE RHYTHM!
NEVER STOP THE SINGING!

And Rogier @roger_holland , I had no doubt, oncemore proved to be a real gentleman!


Rogier I"m taking an after lunch nap soon with these temperature…but we have the air-conditioning on in the living room since one hour already and the doors open so the all house, which is not big, cools down a bit.

Ok :joy:

and good luck with cooling down, it’s already a lot cooler out here than yesterday. I just sent this photo to my girl to say that it’s already cooling down nicely :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Above is outsise in the shasdowside of the hous and down is the coolest part of the hous downstairs ( probably because I play guitar here :joy:)

last day of complaining about the weather :blush:, the rain dance is delayed this afternoon or evening, and then my wife will be home again for a week and a half … so I’m out of the house a lot into the woods and more :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: :partying_face:

That’s great to read! We’re going to have a couple of weeks off as well starting this Saturday :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

@Eddie_09 Thank you Eddie :blush:

@Helen0609 Andrea…

we all are unique creatures of this world and we put into guitar learning, like anything else, our own perspective, we see things with different :eyes:, have different strenghts and different struggles…but one thing works for everybody and that is: you find what you’re looking for. I hope English is not failing me and you can get the meaning.

Keep it simple, keep the Rhythm going and keep on singing…the feeling and the understanding will develop in you I promise! :100::blush:
