This is a fun melody that we all have in our head, or ears. It will take no more than five minutes to learn how to play this ditty just on one string, maybe with one finger. This video, however, will have you learn to play it more efficiently - in another five minutes - by having you copy a couple of fingerings in a couple of positions. You'll still be playing the melody of "Happy Birthday" on one string but sectioned into a couple of fingering positions. And you will be getting really good and fast at using all your fingers of your fretting hand; and you will very quickly appreciate what that does to your playing enjoyment. And before you know it, you will be able to add a few bass notes to the arrangement which effectively gets you into what's called 'fingerstyle playing'. Give this ten minutes per day for one week and this will feel like riding a bike! And on to the next piece.
