Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus- Fingerstyle Guitar
intermediate guitar
This lesson is for members
There are some melodies that seem created for fingerstyle guitar! We'll play it in the key of C, which is great for singing & helps us in fretting the melody, too! The lyrics were written by Charles Wesley, but the melody, "Hyfrydol" by Rowland Prichard, is used for several Christian Hymns.

Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.
