    Video Transcript

    "Okay, in this example what I'm going to do is do a little more lead oriented playing over a basic drum beat. And a, what I'm going to do is what's called harmonized chords and just show you some different things you can do with harmonized chords over a drum beat. And that you could also add with the basic rhythm guitar so a basically what I'm going to do here is I'm going to go, so in the key of D Major essentially where I'm starting at though is on this chord here where I'm playing a F# and A. Then here where I'm playing G and B and then back to this chord and then back here which is A and G and then back to the basically the D chord which is D and F#. So what I'm going to be doing here is a going, you know, just a nice little simple melody which would sound good over like a, a D Major progression and with the drum track it'll sound like this. So again what you see there is a basic melody played with a harmonized progress, you know, harmonized chord progression and a played with a very simple drum beat."
