Softly and Tenderly

guitar intermediate

In this lesson

This is a beautiful version of a childhood favorite, and it's fingerstyle, none the less. Nothing is too tough about this version, but the harmonies created really bring the melody to life.

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

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

    You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.

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

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