Welcome back to the One Finger Guitar Chord Primer. We’re going to learn a new tune in this lesson, Aura Lee, which is much better known as Love Me Tender. Aura Lee is going to teach us a new chord form. It’s our first that uses two fingers.

Welcome to Volume 3, Issue #102 of Guitar Noise News! We have three new lessons this week (although one isn't quite ready just yet). David also answers a beginner question he received by email along with all the regular site news.

Sometimes a simple sounding fingerstyle acoustic guitar part takes a bit of thought and tinkering to create. David looks at how to go beyond the chords offered up on a typical Internet tab sheet in order to get more of the flavor of the original recording of this great Mark Knopfler song.

Many guitarists consider practice and performance to be being distinct activities. Gerald Klickstein, author of the new book The Musician's Way, shows how they can be combined into an inclusive creative process.

Quite often, guitarists solo as if they are paid by the note, totally ignoring phrasing and melody, two key aspects of soloing. Tom Hess gives us a terrific lesson on phrasing, complete with video!

Nice lesson. Phrasing is important and is much less talked about especially in rock/metal.

Chord Melody Arrangements

Since we’ve posted a number of chord melody lessons of late, it seemed like a good idea to make “Chord Melody” a “topic of the month.” As with most of our topics, Guitar Noise has lessons at almost all levels, from beginners just getting started to intermediate and advanced students who want to... try out creating their own chord melodies. So take a closer look at all the lessons on this page. It will hopefully get you psyched to try out this style of playing.

Chord melody is awesome. You can take the 'shell' of a chord (the 3rd and 7th interval) and add the melody note above. If the melody already has the 3rd or 7th you can replace that 3rd/7th in the shell with another chord tone (root, fifth, etc).

So you can make full sounding arrangments with only 3 notes and they're very light and easy to move around.

What I love about knopfler is not souch his left hand, which is fabulous, but his right, which generates tone and feel that is unique and completely emotionally involved.

Mark Knopfler is best known as the lead guitarist, vocalist and songwriter for the British rock band Dire Straits, which he co-founded in 1977 with his brother David. After Dire Straits disbanded in 1995, Knopfler continued to record and produce albums as a solo artist under his own name...

Here is Hank's second Guitar Noise lesson, an accompaniment to "What a Wonderful World" as performed by Louis Armstrong. He draws on some of the ideas used in his first arrangement, "Smile", and provides some nice movement in the bass line...

Thanks forthis lesson Hank, I'm sure my wife will appreciate this far more than the Joey Ramone version I was practicing for now.
