My Jesus, I Love Thee

guitar advanced

In this lesson

This is a hot flatpicking break to a classic hymn written in the 1860's. I think it makes an excellent bluegrass tune, and this one has some licks in it that will surely turn a head or two!

    Third time coming back to this lesson over two years. It's amazing what shows up when you're ready for it.

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

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

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

    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.

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.
