In this lesson

This classic hymn will challenge us to make a slower melody interesting, and boy do we ever! I'm LOVING playing this one, and I know you will too!

    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.

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

    Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.

    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.
