Combining Chords with Melody

You can play this sweet little melody between the chords of G – C and D, but once you got those comfortable under your fingers you can also use others chord derived from the G major scale like: G – Am- Bm – C – D – Em – F#dim – G. Okay F#dim will be your least favorite, but the others chords will sound great around the melody.

Enjoy experimenting and have fun!
