Not sure if I understand. I know the melody. I picked these two particular songs because they are very familiar to me. But being able to sing it vs being able to play it on the guitar are two different things. My brain knows how to make the melody with my voice but it doesn’t know how to play it on the guitar unless I memorize it, no?
