Sounds of Silence - Chord Melody/Fingerstyle (Patreon)

Right at the start with A suspended 2 chord you know exactly what song it is even before the melody starts, then it is "hello darkness my old friend" and it is game on!
What an amazing melody that is predominately chord tones with large leaps, it really is fairly simple. The hardest part here is going to be the long stretches with the 5 shapes, heading up to the F chord at the 12th fret and stretching to the F5 with your pinky finger on the 15th fret of the A string. The off beat on the 10th fret moving into the C can be a little tricky, just take your time and you'll nail it, this one is bound to impress. I love to play fingerstyle and chord melody on the ukulele. If you do to make sure you subscribe and follow tenthumbs.
