Waltzing Matilda (Chord Melody): Mandolin Lesson

Waltzing Matilda is a well known traditional Australian bush song, and in this version on the mandolin, we’ll look at a chord melody arrangement in the key of G. You can find the basic melody and a bluegrass inspired arrangement on Pickin’ Lessons, but here, the melody is supported by 2 & 3 note chords in the chord melody style, and suits the tune very well. There are some challenging chord positions to learn, making this a more advanced version, so jump into the lesson and we’ll break them down together.
