I haven’t started on this one yet, but it’s on my short list.
In response to working up jazzier versions of Gospel songs, years ago I never heard “Softly and Tenderly” but liked the words and chord progressions. So I played the song as I heard it in my head. Upbeat. Rhythm guitar so I could sing it. I taught it to my sisters and we ended up playing it at my sister’s church. Silence, but followed by a good response, like “I’ve never heard it quite that way before”.
So with all respect, I’m now learning S&T the way Ben is teaching it, but would love to follow it up with a more Bluegrass version.
Thanks for your website; I’m learning more faster than ever, understanding why I’m doing stuff and starting to get the hang of improvising!
