Here's my first attempt at chord melody. It is a short piece (8 measures). I'd like to hear your feedback before making a longer piece. Thanks!
The first section is only the melody; the second section is chord melody.
Besides issues with chord melody harmonization; I just read this article ( https://www.jazzguitarlessons.net/blog/build-chord-melody-3-easy-steps ) and decided to give it a try. I've also tried making the piece easier to play on the ukulele, but some notes are still pretty hard. Like I need to mute the 1st string in some; and the second-to-last, which needed a pinch technique. Better choice of notes for chord melody or ease of playing?
