In today’s lesson I’m excited to show a few lead guitar approaches you can apply to America the Beautiful. This video shows you an acoustic approach, where I’ll add melody notes to simple strums of chords — all in open position. This makes for a very accessible way to get started with things, as you can adjust the dials on the melody notes or strumming to suit your taste.
