In the lesson during the relevant attached MP3 file, David says, "Now we are going to play lines three and four into line 5 and then back to the intro." At the end of line 5 it goes E F#m G#m F#m but it sounds arpeggiated rather than three single beats on the final three chords... Am I right? And if so, how is that played...Or if I'm wrong, what do I do?

Thanks,

I tried to fix the title for you. Let's see if this works.

By the bye, thanks for the kudos on this. It's one of my favorites to play.

I just realized the mods changed the title of my post! :lol: Originally it was just "Hodge's version of Melissa" or something like that referencing the song. Oh well; rules are rules.]]> Guitar Noise Lessons slejhamer https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-lessons/guide-to-12-string-guitar-w-allmans-melissa-lesson/#post-103882 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-lessons/guide-to-12-string-guitar-w-allmans-melissa-lesson/#post-103852 Wed, 25 May 2005 06:50:38 +0000 Guitar Noise Lessons yoyo286 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-lessons/guide-to-12-string-guitar-w-allmans-melissa-lesson/#post-103852 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-lessons/guide-to-12-string-guitar-w-allmans-melissa-lesson/#post-9097 Mon, 16 May 2005 14:23:02 +0000
David Hodge did an excellent article on that topic, and at the end is a lesson on the Allman Brothers' classic "Melissa." You may not be familiar with the title, but chances are you've heard the song (it's in a current TV commercial.)

It's a great way to learn some simple strumming techniques, and I'd highly recommend listening to Hodge's MP3s - he breaks things up a bit and adds some nice arpeggiation too.

Don't worry - you do not need a 12-string axe to learn from and enjoy this lesson! I actually like to play it with my electric guitar, amp set to clean, with chorus and delay effects - sounds cool to me.

Enjoy!
