The Battle Hymn of the Republic
advanced guitar
This lesson is for members
Written in the mid-1800's, this popular Civil War tune is now a patriotic standard, and a lot of fun to pick! We start with a Carter-style strum solo then a Clarence-style crosspickin' workout!

Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.
