Discuss the Guitar lesson: Old Rugged Cross- Flatpick

https://banjobenclark.com/lessons/old-rugged-cross-flatpick-guitar-intermediate

I taught a fingerstyle version years ago, but I figured it’s about time I flatpicked it! This is one of the most classic and timeless hymns, and for good reason. This arrangement can definitely take some practice, but I’ll also show you how to simplify it in places and play it in a way that suits you.

This looks like a great lesson, Ben! I can’t wait to jump into it. Hope that you got the finger juice off your fret board lol! :joy:

Would really like to be able to listen to the demo before purchasing. Im not a paying member for a reason. I simply cant afford it, but I would drop $10 on a great fingerpick version of a favorite hymn. Any way to listen to the demo Ben?

Hi @diehardextreme Dave Here you go buddy. Do you know you can sign up for a FREE Silver Pick membership and unlock this FULL lesson plus two more without obligation.

Hey Dave, that was my fault—I was sure I set the intro video to Public, but I must have accidentally unchecked it somehow. I just fixed it.

Loved this! I love all the old hymns. More please!
