Over the Rainbow Combined Arrangement Guitar Measures 21 & 22

This lesson will teach you how to play measures 21 & 22 of the combined arrangement (solo) of Over the Rainbow. To listen to the Guitar Tab for the whole song go to the COMBINED ARRANGEMENT TAB video. An essential part of any performance of an arrangement of a tune is that the melodic line should be heard clearly above the accompanying notes. Go to the MELODY Measures 21 & 22 page to revise the melody for these measures. If you want to impress, let that melody fly! Go to the CHORDS Measures 21 & 22 page to revise the chords for these measures.

Video Script:

on the first beat of this guitar solo two notes are played at the same time

the 1st string is played open

and the 1st finger is placed on the 2nd string, 1st fret, a C note, the root of the harmonising chord

the right hand index finger plays the 2nd string, and the right hand middle finger plays the 1st string

the following note is played by the

4th finger, on the 1st string, 3rd fret

followed by the

1st string played open

and then again by the

4th finger, on the 1st string, 3rd fret

The Guitar Tabs on the bottom of the video screen will help you find where to place your left hand fingers

on the third beat of the first of these measures, two notes are played at the same time

the 1st string is played open

and the 3rd finger is placed on the 2nd string, 3rd fret

the right hand index finger plays the 2nd string, and the right hand middle finger plays the 1st string

the following note is played by the

4th finger, on the 1st string, 3rd fret, a D note

followed by the

1st string played open

and then again by the

4th finger, on the 1st string, 3rd fret

for the rhythm of this measure

count 1 an, 2 an, 3 an, 4 an

on the first beat of the next measure two notes are played at the same time

the 1st finger is placed on the 1st string, 2nd fret

and the 3rd finger is placed on the 2nd string, 4th fret

the right hand index finger plays the 2nd string and the right hand middle finger plays the 1st string

the F sharp played by the 1st finger and the D sharp played by the 3rd finger are both chordal notes of the harmonising B7 chord

the following note is played by the

4th finger, on the 1st string, 5th fret

followed by the

1st finger, on the 1st string, 2nd fret

and then again by the

4th finger, on the 1st string, 5th fret

to complete this acoustic guitar solo

the next two beats of this measure are a repeat of the first two beats

to play the whole measure

count 1 an, 2 an, 3 an, 4 an

This arrangement could as easily sit with the title of “Jazz chords Lesson” or “classical guitar lesson” and be interesting to players from both genres
