In this video, Berklee guitar instructor John Baboian teaches you about melodic embellishments on the guitar. You’ll learn about taking simple, standard melodies and interpreting them in a way that is unique to your own style of playing. He demonstrates techniques such as rhythmic anticipation and delays, chromatic and diatonic passing tones, all of which help to create interesting melodic variation.
