O Come, Emmanuel

mandolin advanced

In this lesson

A simple melody solo with just enough flair! It's built as a duet with the guitar, but the solo can stand alone as well.

    Question on the tab — is that a hammer-on or a slide going into the B part? Sounds like a slide to my ear but the tab reads hammer.

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

    I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

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

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

    Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.
