Decking your Uncle Larry for eating the last piece of turkey? Bad. Decking the Halls with three awesome mandolin breaks? GOOD! Let's start with the basic melody then eventually get into Granny's eggnog.

    Is there a jam track for this at a slower tempo? 90 is still a bit quick for me.

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

    Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.

    There's a slower track in the resources for this one. If you want it slower still, let me know and I'll cut one.
