You can bring out many musical possibilities in yourself and in simple tunes if you take some time to learn guitar chord solos. Basically, you will be playing the tune of a piece using the accompanying chords. A simple way of trying this is to grab a piece of tab or sheet music with the chords on top of the page, and try strumming the chords with the notes to the tune on the highest string. For instance, the first few notes of House Of The Rising Sun using notes and melody will be:

D—–2——2———–|

A—–0—2–3———–|
