Where can I find more chord melody arrangements?

I don’t sing along either, so I asked myself the same questions as you a few months ago.

The website has a few fingerstyle chord melody arrangements that I found.

  • Greensleeves (Grade 3 Module 16)
  • Solo blues Lick-in’ riff (Grade 3 Module 18)
  • Yesterday by the Beatles.
  • For Christmas : We wish you a Merry Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Auld Land Syne.
  • Blues Guitar Studies (Grade 4)
  • Solo Blues Guitar (paid course 10$)

In the end, I realized that fingerstyle arrangements are fun but they take some time to learn. And, unfortunately, I did not find many others on the website for grade 3 or 4 (specially for “popular” songs").

So, I took my Rock Songbook which has 15 beginner songs (grade 2 and 3) and I started playing them with backing tracks. I use Moise software to remove the guitar from the original song and I record mine in the track with my DAW (Reaper).

You can see an example of the project here .

It’s just like being part of the band. Playing and recording yourself with the backing track make it much fun. And you can show the final result to your family and they will recognize the song.

Maybe you can try that and see if you like it. If you don’t like rock, you can do the same thing with any songbook like the Acoustic. Otherwise, there is a youtube channel called SixStringFingerPicking which has many fingerstyle arrangements for popular songs.
