Nursery Rhymes - Simple Chords

[brock.sirko]

Hey Emil!

I want to take several steps back with fingerstyle guitar. I'm going to start taking simple nursery rhymes and play them finger style with chord changes (no 7ths, just root 3rd, 5th).

I have no problem figuring out these chords and melodies. But I want some arrangement ideas that I should be comfortable with. I want to be able to take hundreds of simple melodies and be able to play it in different ways. For now still just root, 3rd, 5th. I'm thinking like, for example, mary had a little lamb. Should I be able to play that boomchick style? Maybe just play root notes for the bass line? Melody arpeggios in the bass line? Where can I go to learn this simple approaches?

Thanks,
Brock
