You know me...I love songs about Jesus! Here's one of my favorite gospel tunes with a swingy fingerstyle feel. This one is in the key of "C", and sounds great as a solo or with a backing band. Enjoy!

    The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

    Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.

    That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.
