Is there any prettier melody on the planet than "How Great Thou Art?" This is a beautiful finger style version in the key of C that I know you're gonna love! There aren't too many crazy chords, but the movement between the chords is very impressive.

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

    Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.

    Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.
