You are very welcome Tamara Grace :)

@tayrowell, you are very welcome! Glad you like the video and have found it helpful :)

@michaelzimmer1115, yes, you might restrict the chord choice by defining the bass first, but you could always reharmonise the melody wherever you would like afterwards. The method presented in this video is more of a starting point, as well as understanding the make up of a chord/melody :)

I missed the point that you were starting with a pre-harmonized tune. So, you are harmonizing notes based on the root of existing harmony. You have the question of which beats you harmonize on, but I think you are mainly going with beat one and then arpeggios. So, you can just use CAGED shapes in the open position for your first take. I missed how you converted from one key to another. I guess the prerequisite is that you know how to transpose. There are a lot of prerequisites needed to follow this discussion. I have been writing about this topic quite a bit recently, from a different perspective, and realize it actually requires a good knowledge of theory to do it by rules, and a trained ear and fingers to do it otherwise, or in addition. Good stuff though. The approach has much to recommend it. Maybe it harkens back to figured bass? I don't know enough about that topic to really comment. It appears that you have been attacked by a troll. Folks with character defects in general.

That's what an interview is

NO you are wrong. You are trying to teach an instructional issue. I also see that the most important thing for you is to have the las word. That is a bad habit . You think you won the battle , but truly you lost the war . That was a cheap answer . @@useandthrow2980

lol, when it is constructive yes, your criticism is anything but, but whatever lol

You on denial . Keep believing your own press . @@acousticguitarlessons

Walter needs a vacation. He has lost it. This video is world class.

@@eugenebatiste thank you! :)

@walterlacayo6503, it is a live stream, therefore it is predominantly a discussion. You do not need serious music theory knowledge to play chord/melody, yes it helps, but you do not need it. And yes, Tommaso Zillio is his real name, why would you think otherwise lol. I appreciate this video may not be for you or to your liking which is fine, there are plenty of other chord/melody videos online you might find more suitable for yourself.

1) Because it sounds like an AKA ( Also Known As ) and not a real name . 2) Yes you do need to know music theory in order to arrange well. I'm amazed at your answers . by the way I would like to look over your book and if I don't like it, what is your return policy? @@acousticguitarlessons

@walterlacayo6503, I don't see what his accent has to do with anything. If it annoys you, don't watch the video, simple lol

Yes it does matter, because you're trying to sell your book and reaching out to the public . Remember you are trying to sell your book. Here we go again, you have to have the last word. @@acousticguitarlessons

@@walterlacayo6503, the book is free lol, it clearly says so if you bother to click on the link. Anyway, happy for you to have the last word, because I um, have a life to back to :)

Yes your life is so rich of adventure . NO I won't bother to click on the link and you can have the last word . Let's see it. @@acousticguitarlessons

​@@walterlacayo6503You are completely ridiculous. How many comments did you put in here? This is nothing but harassment! Go troll somewhere else!!!

@donlessnau3983, I can appreciate what you are saying as this is an edit from a live stream that is more conversational in nature than my typical YT tutorials. I think you might find this one that is on the same topic a little more to your liking perhaps: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNeViqiS3ZOsk4k.html
