In this lesson

"What have I to dread, What have I to fear? Leaning on the everlasting arms!" Wow! What a great ol' hymn that has been a favorite of mine for years and years! Here is a great intermediate break to this classic out of the G position. Enjoy!

    Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

    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.

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