“Buffalo Gals” Chord-Melody Style, Part 1: Diatonic Chords
 

“Buffalo Gals” is an old American song that has been recorded by jazz, folk, bluegrass, western swing and pop artists, sometimes under different names. For example, Bob Wills recorded it as “Oklahoma Gals.” Matt shows you how to play the melody in a chord-melody style that uses familiar major and minor triad shapes played on the top three strings.  Matt’s arrangement moves quickly between the chords, so you need to pay attention to how you’re fingering them. You’ll learn the straight version of “Buffalo Gals” with diatonic major and minor chords in this video.
