How Great Thou Art

guitar advanced

In this lesson

Is there any prettier melody on the planet than "How Great Thou Art?" This is a beautiful finger style version in the key of C that I know you're gonna love! There aren't too many crazy chords, but the movement between the chords is very impressive.

    Ben, this one finally made the timing click for me. Been fighting it for a month. Thank you.

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

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

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

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

    Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.
