beginner Any instrument
This lesson is for members
Come PickAlong with me! This is one of my favorite Christmas hymns. You may recognize this melody from other hymns, such as "Jesus! What a Friend for Sinners". The melody itself is called "Hyfrydol", a Welsh hymn tune composed by Rowland Prichard in 1830 that translates to "pleasant" or "cheerful".

Question on the tab — is that a hammer-on or a slide going into the B part? Sounds like a slide to my ear but the tab reads hammer.

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

Memorization comes from playing it at a tempo you can think at. If you need the tab, you're playing it faster than you know it.
