🎸 Combining Melody & Chords with "Hallelujah"
|
In today’s new lesson, I teach melody deep-dive for Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah — showing you a way to play the melody notes and chords at the same time.

With that in mind, here’s a brand-new lesson for one of my all-time favorites... and one of the anthems of Texas country. Don't miss the handful of other Austin-inspired lessons further below!
