Uke Questions & Answers

Hi Matt -

After trying for ages to try to figure out Chord Melody on my own, I suddenly became sensible and went to basics on your course !!

I enjoyed your explanation of “Twinkle, Twinkle …” and reached a good level of understanding but when I printed out your music sheet, I noticed a slight difference between the pdfs.

On the hand-written ones you guided us toward playing the open notes on the GCEA voicing.

But the printed music sheet directed me to play the fretted G note on the E string rather than the open G.

I understand both are the same, but why the change ?

Will all chord melody charts point me to a fretted note rather than an open note ?
