Mairi's Wedding - Melody Tutorial & Play-Along

Details

Description

Alyssa teaches you how to play the Scottish tune Mairi's Wedding!

Melody at tempo: 0:03
Melody half speed: 0:44
Play-along: 2:15

Some tips for practicing:
- Learn the melody at both the slow and fast tempo. Don't forget you can slow down and speed up the video too!
- Play the melody along with the jam track. Can you keep the melody going when Alyssa's part drops out?
- Try to play the chords. Experiment with using different rhythms. There are a bunch of ways to play G, C, and D chords, but one of the easiest ways uses just open strings and your 1st finger.
- Improvise over the jam track. If you're new to improvisation, start by embellishing and altering the melody.
