Example:
I'm holding down the C chord
with the melody note on C, second string
and bass on C, fifth string
.
It seems like the only accompaniment notes I can play are on the D and G string
.
Why? Because if I play anything below the melody note on the high strings, it would sound like a different melody? I also can't play the the melody note again when playing an arpeggio because it would sound like a different song.
Is playing the notes between the melody and bass notes the only way to create accompaniment?
