I was reading the "Most Valuable Tip" thread. I had a question and not wanting to be a hijacker I started my own thread for it.
I have been at the "strumming chords" level for a while. I have started a little fingerpicking but I'm stuck. I'll try to explain my problem as briefly as I can.
It's all well and good to find a tab and learn a song that way but I think understanding how the strumming and the fingerpicking fit together would take me to the next level in my playing. Can anyone explain to me how I would take a song that I know all the chords to and add the melody? I'm guessing the first step is knowing what key the song is in. But then what? Is it all trial and error? I hope I'm making sense.
I just had my one year ukuiversay and would like to start the next year with some more advanced knowledge. If any one has any ideas I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks
