Below is the lesson for “Battle Hymn of the Republic”

Helpful Tips

A classic American patriotic tune that is ideal for practicing quick chord changes up and down the neck. This piece should be performed with a march feel, where in we strongly accent the first beat and play on the beat (not behind or in front of the beat).

This arrangement also serves as a great study for tackling advanced techniques such as: triplet strum, playing with a swung rhythmic feel, and tapping a backbeat plus playing a melody note(s) simultaneously.
