Hi Everyone,

Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live.

Jesu, Joy Of Man’s Desiring is one of the most recognizable pieces of music in history. It has been recorded in numerous arrangements and styles and makes a great solo guitar piece. My arrangement stays very faithful to the original but is playable by intermediate guitar players. It requires a few stretches and good control of hammer-ons and pull-offs, and presents many parts where notes need to be sustained through movement in another part.

The piece is really a combination of different themes, some in the style of a Prelude and others more like a Chorale, commonly done by a choir singing in harmony. We will break this down into small chunks, starting with the first Prelude Section (measures 1-8).

The first section (Measures 1-8) establishes the 9/8 feel that carries on throughout the piece, but this can also be thought of as 3/4 time with the beats broken up into triplets. Attention must be paid here to holding down bass notes through the hammers and pulls, keeping your fingers firmly in place while executing the slurs.

Enjoy this level 7 lesson!

I'm with you on the chocolate, Dermot, but I'm willing to give this one a try. Maybe a little finger torture will do me good! :cheer:

So your a willing masochist :dry: :ohmy:

My little finger is coming on too.
The thing is I find that every new song I try
somehow finds an untouched part of my fingers !
How much real-estate does the tip of a finger have !!!
