Name a song. Learn to play it.
Mellodeo builds a guitar lesson around the song you already love. You get its chords, taught easiest first, and an arrangement you can hear and play along to.
Every lesson follows the same path
You start from the song, not from a curriculum. Each step uses only what the steps before it taught you.
Hear it
Listen to the arrangement you're about to learn, played back at a speed you choose.
Get set up
Tuning, and a capo position if one makes the song easier to play.
Learn the shapes
One chord at a time, with a diagram showing exactly where each finger goes.
Practise the changes
The switches between chords are where songs fall apart, so they get their own drills.
Play along
Section by section, then the whole song, with the arrangement playing beside you.

Questions
Do I need to know any guitar already?
No. Lessons are written for beginners, and every chord is taught before you're asked to play it.
Does it play the original recording?
No. You hear our own arrangement of the song, played on a sampled acoustic guitar. It's the version you're learning, so you can slow it down and follow along.
How accurate are the lessons?
An AI works out the song's key and chords, and our own code decides the chord shapes, capo and teaching order. That catches many mistakes, but not all of them. If a lesson sounds wrong, tell us and we'll fix it.
How do I cancel?
Anytime, from the link in your receipt or by emailing hello@mellodeo.com. You keep Pro until the end of the month you paid for.
