Acoustic Folk

Greetings from Granada (Andalucia, Spain)!

Thanks for watching my new lesson. Here is an example on how to comp piano melody chords. First I created the piano groove and after that I tried to play with an acoustic guitar over that. The guitar plays some parts equal and some parts different. I used pick & fingers technique. This is not only a technique exercise but musical one, I think that a complete musician needs to make music, not only play fast!
