Hol jártál, báránykám? — melody tutorial

I would like to teach you the melody of this lovely Hungarian children's song. In “Hol jártál, báránykám?” the focus is not on chord accompaniment, so naturally that is not what I concentrate on in the video below. The song uses a pentatonic scale, meaning five different pitches (the C an octave higher does not count as a different pitch in this sense), so there are not many notes to memorise.

It is worth learning the melody from memory as soon as possible. Once you only need to watch your hands while playing and no longer have to look at sheet music or tablature, your practice becomes much more efficient. I also recommend practising with a metronome. Good luck — here is the tutorial:

I would like to thank András Benedek for preparing the tablature and sheet music for the song:
