Guitar Lesson: Crafting Melodies | Alamo Music Center
If you're somewhat new to playing guitar, you might be wondering how to turn your foundational knowledge of basic chords into your own melodies. Maybe you've been wondering how to decipher the tablature of some of your favorite songs-- here's Chris McKee to put those melodies into perspective, and show you how he conceived some of his regular demo songs. By looking at the individual notes inside those basic chords and scales, it's so much easier to visualize melodies that conform to your key. As always, we want to help you make great music on a great instrument! Comment below and tell us your favorite melodies, we'd love to hear what you come up with.

Alamo Music Center | Taylor Academy Series | The Best Beginner Acoustic Guitar?
In the midst of our current situation, we're very happy that people are still picking up their guitars-- we like to encourage everyone to take this time to use music as a therapeutic force in their lives. If you're looking to just get started playing guitar, or help someone else start playing, here is a video discussing why we think that the Taylor Academy Series is the best beginner acoustic guitar. With higher-end features like a beveled arm rest, scalloped bracing, a solid-wood top (either Sitka or Lutz Spruce), and Taylor Electronics (on acoustic-electric models), these guitars bring Taylor's unparalleled quality to the entry level, and make the playing experience comfortable and exciting to pursue. Take a listen and hear why Chris McKee recommends these guitars to everyone who wants to start playing!
