In this lesson

I love taking hymns and putting my own spin on them, and this old standard allows us a chance to dance around the melody with some delicious syncopations!

    Anybody have a tip for the left hand stretch in here? My pinky is not cooperating.

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

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