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.

| Wayfaring Stranger, Part 1 |
The old hymn “Wayfaring Stranger” is a great tune to play with tremolo. It’s in the key of A minor, so Sharon starts by showing you the A minor scale, as well as the Am arpeggio. Then she walks you through the melody of the A part (or verse) without tremolo, phrase by phrase. Once you’ve learned the melody of the A part, Sharon shows you some places to add tremolo. She finishes this video by playing the verse through a couple times with tremolo, so you can play along with her.
