There are some melodies that take you back to the 1,000 times you heard it, and this is one. We'll learn two solos for the classic hymn "Near the Cross," one in waltz time and one in 4/4.

    I keep losing the timing when I add the backup. Does anyone count this out loud or is that just me?

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

    There's a slower track in the resources for this one. If you want it slower still, let me know and I'll cut one.
