Just a Closer Walk with Thee

mandolin advanced

In this lesson

This old hymn offers lots of room to stretch out, and that's what we'll do after we establish the basic melody. Have fun with this one!

    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.

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

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

    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.
