Hey all GG'ers, the time has sadly come for me to start writing my dance music piece for my GCSE..... now.... i'm fine with the harmony (chords) but when it comes to the melody i'm stumped. Could you tell me some waltz melody writing techniques please or could you post me a link to some music notation of some waltz piece so I can study them (preferable tab and in guitar por but normal notation is fine aswel).

Cheers, Aidan.

That's actually a really strange question...a melody is a melody...you could rework any melody to fit 3/4 (whether it's any good is a different issue).

For the time being: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_tune

Wink

Seriously, that's probably the most famous waltz for guitar!

No worries...here's 'that tune' in proper format:

It's actually quite beautiful and Nokia have totally ruined it...now it belongs on one of those 'Classical Adverts' compilations where you listen to Rachmaninov for 7 minutes for the 'lick' from a Volvo advert, etc. Rolling Eyes
