This old-timey southern gospel song is an instantly recognizable classic, with a familiar melody and predictable harmony. In this lesson we discuss the importance of the counterpoint between bass lines and melody and how when combined, they create the harmony that is the foundation of the song.
You’ll get the inside scoop on how to perform a solo guitar arrangement of this tune using a moving bass pattern with your thumb, while playing the melody and other little “filler” notes with your fingers.
