From notes to chords
I was able to figure out the notes to play a simple song on my acoustic guitar. The song is Petit Papa Noël.
How do I go from playing a very simple melody to make it interesting? Perhaps finger picking , perhaps chords….I don’t know but I think would be interesting to better understand The process.

Hey @HH There are a lot of ways you could go with this and it sounds like you've already got a couple of the main types of ideas in your head. You could harmonize the melody using double stops or chords. You could also use some fingerstyle to get a bassline going with the melody on top. The other option is to just play the melody and embellish it with some scales and arpeggios. I hope that makes sense.
