"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 advanced-level break to this classic in the key of G. Enjoy!

    Is there a jam track for this at a slower tempo? 90 is still a bit quick for me.

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

    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.

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