This melody is based closely on the way it is sung. Here, the rhythm of the melody is based on the syllables as a singer would sing them. Specifically, this one is based on the way Mother Maybelle Carter sang, "Wildwood Flower". Playing the syllables on guitar as a singer would sing them is something that many professional players have done for ages. It's a way to get in touch with the melody on a deeper level.


Try to sing or speak the melody in time while listening to the Tunefox player, and eventually while playing it, will significantly boost your memory and musicality for this tune and others. The lyrics for the first verse are listed in the guitar tab. Since the rhythm is tougher, you'll have a more complex picking pattern. Follow the pick directions closely.
