85. The Legend of Danny Boy
1. Key Signature
There is one sharp in the key signature. All F's are F#. (D string 4th Fret)
2. Bass Notes
Be aware of the length of the Bass Notes. Keep your fingers down to let the bass notes ring. Use your remaining fingers to play the melodies.
3. Tempo
Go slow and steady at first. Use the metronome on the webpage at a slow setting first then speed it up as you get more comfortable.
4. Fingerings
Be aware of all right and left hand fingerings. Take your time with measure four and make sure you get the right hand fingering correct. It will make the piece smoother.
5. Rhythm
Count while you play. This will make the song more fluid and smooth. Remember a dotted quarter note is worth a beat and a half.
