In this lesson we will discuss singing the melody line effectively. Make sure you keep it simple and use small variations in the line now and then to make it interesting. We also focus on endings and I have given you a few examples to get you started.
Have fun!

Thanks for the tab Corey, I also dig your interpretation of Blind Blake'a C C Pill. I'd find it helpful to have that in tablature to follow while doing the video lesson. Anyway, much inspiration here at Sonic Junction - again, thanks!
Thanks Veronica for following me here on Sonic Junction. Having a tablature to follow can be very helpfull. Look at the lesson for CC Pill and you will find the tablature there. If you need help you can send a message to Mike Caren (admin). Thanks!
