I love watching Paul Davids’ videos on his guitar playing, and ages back I saw this video of his called “Turn those same old chords into something beautiful” where he basically arpegiated chords and added a melody, but it sounded really good. I figured as the semester is drawing to a close and I’m fairly confident with my chord playing ability now, I would try my hand at this style of guitar, rather than just normal strumming, for a bit of fun.
I found this extremely challenging, and whilst I tried hard to be as even as possible there were a few times where my quavers were uneven. I also found the only way to learn it was to largely memorise it so I could stare at my left hand whilst I played. Overall tho, I was quite happy with how I played seeing as I’ve never tried anything like this before.
