Over the Rainbow Combined Arrangement Guitar Measures 23 & 24

This lesson will teach you how to play measures 23 & 24 of the combined arrangement (solo) version 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 23 & 24 page to revise the melody for these measures. If you want to impress, let that melody fly! Go to CHORDS Measures 23 & 24 page to revise the chords for these measures.
