This is exactly what I was looking for. Since “There Is Power In The Blood” lends itself well as a bluegrass style I particularly like the bluegrass into! I also like the variations to explore!

Thanks for addressing that Ben. I have thought about this topic a lot over the past few months and finally realized this rule can work on most songs not just hymns. However I think you hear it the most from a piano player playing a hymn for a church. Most recently I have used this strategy on your recent guitar lesson on life’s Railway to Heaven. I just play the last half of the break before singing the first verse.
