May 13th Because he lives Download sheet hereMahalo to Gail Yoshimura who submitted a song for the class! It is a wonderful song written by husband/wife team Bill & Gloria Gaither.

The advanced class learned the picking for this song in the key of F. We learned how to determine which note on the scale to pick.
1. Determine the key. We are playing in the key of F. 2. Write the letter notes of the scale of the key. F, G, A, B-Flat, C, D, E, F. 3. Write the number above each of the notes in the scale. 4. Determine and write whether the note on the scale is a whole (W) or half (H) step relative to the note before. This will determine how many frets to move up the fretboard. Whole = 2 frets, Half = 1 fret. 5. Write the number above the note to be played in the song sheet. For us, the first note in the scale of F starts on the 3rd string, 5th fret. See the video below. |
