You can arrange fingerstyle guitar songs all by yourself, in any key, in standard tuning! All you need to make your fingerstyle arrangement is to break it down to melody and harmony, and craft your song step-by-step.

Does this mean a single major scale can be arranged to play any song? But shuffling only the melodies? And may be transposing with a capo to sound the harmony in a different scale? @neilchanguitar

Bro .. The melody you took from (4:43 minutes) to match the (coffee houser sei addata) song. This is a very famous Bengali song in India. And the vocalist of this song was MANNA DEY,, the famous Indian singer. You can listen to that song if you want. You gave a good lesson. Love it boss ❤️

How to play with guitar any song molody

@HajongChannel-t1n

What is modern finger style guitar genre?
Is fingerstyle just naive way of saying playing guitar with fingers or thumb pick? Or is fingerstyle guitar genre a high level musical study of orchestrating a pre existing song / music by using voice leading, counterpoint, Travis picking, high level music theory, percussive techniques on acoustic guitar, altrrnate guitar tunings, knowing complete fretboard notes and chords across the fretboard and many more high level music composition techniques?

@Aabb37-t2v

What brand of guitar is that?

@harrybon4051

Это он или она?

@ВалентинШеховцов-я3и

i have a question. i can play also solfege in the third fret. how do you know solfege in orher fret?

@Friendlyhacker0913

What is your purpose of using relative solfeggio notes? If there's many tonality transitions or modal harmony in a song they will become inappropriate.

@ЛешаЧупрыкин

Great video!! Thnx for the information.
Just a question for confirmation is that is arranging a song is like figuring out the melody then finding out the note which is repetitive or emphasised and then and then chord of that emphasised note is played together with melody and thats how you harmonized it. Am i corrrct?

Thank you for taking your time

@narman9390

Sir are you from India

@kedorino5244

A really underrated YouTube channel; he deserves at least 1 million subscribers.
i was searching for this content for years; glad i found it.

@nisalpoorna5101

It’s rlly weird bc I can make my own arrangements (albeit very simplistic) on the keyboard w both left and right hand naturally and self taught but when it comes to guitar I’m lost like I have no musicality

@creatively_divine

Thanks so much for simplicity in explaining ❤

@codingabeautifuljourney

Wow. I’ve been playing guitar for 25 years and have studied under many talented teachers. You have a gift, thank you so much for the video. I wish you were available for private lessons!

@jameshuntley428

Would you please add links to 8:49? Can't enter there.

@Arczii1337

I was searching on YouTube and then I found your videos thank you so much Now first i need to learn the solfege of the guitar

i just wanna ask if I have the chords for the song does it help more on what notes to pluck?

@marcyhenbuhayang9385

the first i came across your lessons Neil I realized I met a teacher who address my needs in guitar learning for the link between the solfege and guitar has been a question that got me headache over the years but now I feel relieved😍

@madalitsojuly831

I subscribed to you bro, i may need yoh after three month, now am learning each string cords.

@progaming.5765

God that guitar is so beautiful

@abbasxli4356

Thanks for the instruction but your singing style is really obtrusive and irritating. I want to get to your material without being forced to listen to your excessive performances.
