Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus- Banjo

In this lesson

Let's drop that 4th string for this one! We're in the key of C, which is great for singing. The lyrics were written by Charles Wesley, but the melody, "Hyfrydol" by Rowland Prichard, is used for several Christian Hymns.

    Got about 80% of this one down but the third measure keeps tripping me. Anybody else find that part awkward at speed?

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

    Memorization comes from playing it at a tempo you can think at. If you need the tab, you're playing it faster than you know it.

    I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.
