Fishers Hornpipe

guitar advanced

In this lesson

Daddy kept an ol' hornpipe hanging from the moose horns above our fireplace mantel...it was hard to play, just like this arrangement. Haha! Just being honest! This one is a lot of fun, but it is challenging! I know you're gonna love it, and feel free to steal licks from here and there to put in your own arrangement!

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

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

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

    Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.

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