Melody is king! Melodies are ultimately what defines a song, melodies are the part of the song we remember the most. In fingerstyle arrangements, melody and bass are of utmost importance, and I'm going to share how I personally use melody and bass to lay the foundations of any fingerstyle arrangement, using an recent arrangement I did myself.
Check out the arrangement of 'Shout To The Lord' below!
Remember to make your melodies shine through!
