This lesson will teach you how to play measures 19 & 20 of the Combined Arrangement Guitar version of Cry me a River. To listen to the Guitar Tab for the whole song go to the COMBINED ARRANGEMENT GUITAR 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 19 & 20 page to revise the melody for these measures. If you want to impress, let that melody fly! Go to the CHORDS Measures 19 & 20 page to revise the chords for these measures.
Video Script:
In this combined arrangement for solo guitar, the melody in these two measures is played exactly as learned in the melody version
after the last melody note is played, a fill from the accompanying chords is added
The Guitar Tabs on the bottom of the video screen will help you find where to place your left hand fingers
F sharp, on the 4th string, 4th fret, is the 6th of the Am6 chord
E, on the 2nd string, 5th fret, is the 5th of the Am6 chord
and then A, the last melody note
to complete this in this acoustic guitar solo in these two measures, the last note of the fill is a D sharp, the 3rd of the accompanying B7 chord
try to bring out the falling movement from the E, to the D sharp
