It Is Well With My Soul- Banjo

banjo intermediate

In this lesson

This is one of the giants in Christian hymnody, and it works so very well on banjo! We're in the key of C, which is a great key to sing along.

    Question on the tab — is that a hammer-on or a slide going into the B part? Sounds like a slide to my ear but the tab reads hammer.

    Welcome aboard — you picked a good one to start on.

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

    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.

    Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.
