Even though this is a slow tune, I have it in the advanced section because of the technique it requires to make it "pretty" and smooth. I've got the mandolin advanced solo tab as well as the tab for the basic melody. And, I also have the guitar backup tab. Finally, I have 2 mp3's: one of the full performance and one with just the guitar (in case you wanna play it in church).

Anybody have a tip for the left hand stretch in here? My pinky is not cooperating.

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.

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.

That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.

Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.
