Hey great question! We do play that 2nd fret of the 3rd string there, which is more like an Am. But that’s just part of the melody. A backing guitar player would be playing a c there traditionally.
@BanjoSkills If I understand now correctly the melody notes could essentially be anything anywhere, while the chord progression of the tune for the instruments parts is defined on a measure by measure above the lines of the tab. Thankyou, I've seen this before on tabs but never really known why or questioned it before. Thanks Again!
@@Fourby You're mostly right! The melody notes will almost always be found in the scale that corresponds with the key of the song . So, this song is in G major, and that A in the 3rd measure is in the G major scale. So we can use it even though it's not part of the C chord. And then, yes other instruments playing would be using that C chord.
Great lesson. Thank you!
Thanks very much for this Jack - nice and clear!
You’re so welcome!
I really love the graphic on the thumbnail (in addition to the video itself)
Thanks! I agree! Love how this one turned out
Good lesson! Once my Willow tab came through, I was marking it along with you to remind me!
Wonderful!
Very clear . Thanks
You are welcome!
As Always Jack. Respect, Great Respect. STP.
As always thank you STP!!
Love your content Jack, but why is measure 3 defined as a C chord not as an Am chord?
