Have you been longing to venture above the fifth fret? Maybe emulating the great Blues players, rocking out a bit, or twanging a country solo? Perhaps you might prefer being able to take a tasty, melodic lead in a folk song? We’ll survey a broad overview of how to use the guitar as a melody instrument, touching on the above styles and delving into the ways that chords, modes and scales help you follow the melodic roadmap. Intermediate and above.
