A scene from the film Finding Memo. A big turtle is swimming behind two other fishes.
Beyond The Sea



Playing a song using just one string is a very good thing for the beginner guitarist and also for someone that has been playing for a while.


For the beginner

Playing a one string melodie if you are a beginner will help you a lot as you don't have to worry with your strumming hand. Since it will always be playing on the same string. Then you can concentrate only on the fretting hand.


Also, in case you can't tune the guitar yet this comes really hand, as you will only be playing one string, it really doesn't matter if the guitar is in tune or not.


For the advanced player

You can use one string melodies to practice your aural skills and navigating through the fingerboard. It's always good to play melodies on a horizontal way to practice your solo skills, such as slide.


La Mer - Beyond The Sea

This time we will be looking that song La Mer, by Charles Trenet, featured in the film "Finding Memo".


There are quite a few nice versions of this song, especially in the style of Jazz like this one by Django Reinhardt


Enjoy a free pdf below and remember to use the fret markers on your favour.
