Once you know the arpeggios based on the L shape, you can easily find double stops to harmonize the melodies of the songs you’re playing. Sharon shows you two handy double stops in the L shape for D, G, and A, and gives you a couple exercises using them.

“The Eighth of January” Play-Along Track: Melody and Rhythm
 

In this video Sharon plays “The Eighth of January” four times at a medium tempo. She alternates between playing rhythm and melody, playing rhythm the first and third times through, and melody the second and fourth times. You can practice making the transition between melody and rhythm with her, playing melody when she plays melody, and rhythm when she plays rhythm. Once you get comfortable with that, you could try playing rhythm when Sharon plays melody and vice versa.
