This lesson will teach you how to play measures 31 & 32 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 31 & 32 page to revise the melody for these measures. If you want to impress, let that melody fly ! Go to the CHORDS Measures 31 & 32 page to revise the chords for these measures.
