"Melody" is the tune of the song. There are melody notes and harmony notes (generally the chords). If you want to play only the melody, you will be playing a single line - one note at a time. If you're still unsure of what the melody is, think to yourself: "What part of the song would I sing or hum?" That's the melody.
