Traditional Hymn Key = C Time = 3/4 TAB by Chief Noda, August 1999
I learned this tune from Chet Atkins' fingerstyle arrangement. Chet did
this tune in C G D G B E tuning. I recorded it in the same tuning for
Plectrology IV, but I wrote this TAB in standard tuning.
The first is the melody and then I wrote out my arrangement of it, played one octave higher. Essentially, my arrangement is cross-string arrpeggio and you do not have to follow it note for note. Since the tune is a slow hymn, you have a lot of room to add notes as log as the melody is not lost.
Enjoy! Chief
