About this lesson Tabs & MP3s Need Help?

O Holy Night is one of my favorite songs of all time, regardless of genre. We're in drop-C tuning for this one. Though it's slow, it is challenging, but extremely rewarding!

    I keep losing the timing when I add the backup. Does anyone count this out loud or is that just me?

  2. Marcy Kern ·

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

  3. Sharon Kile ·

    I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

  4. Marcy Kern ·

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

    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.

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.
