We’ve got two sweet solos for this one, with the tricks growing as it goes! This melody brings back the memories and the truth gets me through today.

I love all of the fingerstyle hymns that you teach. I particularly like the syncopation that you do on this one. that is a nice change from the traditional style.

Classy arrangement on a classy hymn!

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL GREAT GENIUS OF ROPES.:clap::clap:

When I tried it, I was reminded of you, Neil, that you would do it in no time, or at least the first part. Yeah beautiful hymn, beautifully arranged, and I’m learning it in the style Ben taught it with using only T, 1 &2.

This has to be my favorite Banjo Ben lesson to date. I can’t wait to learn this one.

Can someone please let me know what the ‘B’ in the tab indicates?

The one right on top of the arrows indicates a brush with your thumb on the frets that are numbered beside the arrows. Banjo Ben explains it in the lesson.

The more time I practice this the more I love it, very pretty. I spend at least an hour a day now on this one song. Your beginning banjo rolls that I’m also working on helps with this style too.

I think the problem I am having with smoothness has to do with my fret hand and which finger goes on which string. I am watching your hand closely and trying to copy your fingers moving efficiently to fret the correct note in time.
