John’s notes;My arrangement of this beautiful song contains numerous techniques you’ll use over and over again! Play with feeling, and plenty of vibrato on the hanging notes. Be very careful with your right hand plectrum playing. The majority of the high ‘melody’ notes are on the B string so work on emphasising those notes when they are a part of a chord.
Lots of hammer on’s and slides to perfect in this arrangement, and opportunities to practice letting notes ‘ring’ within chords whilst changing to another note. This provides continuity and smoothness to the melody, which is the ‘hall mark’ of the Flat Picking (chord /melody) style.Play, enjoy and have fun!
