    When learning a new instrument, nursery rhymes are a great way to start. Any song that you can sing or think through easily, are great first songs. This one works great with the slider. Slide it to "easy" for just the melody and a few fill in notes, or set to "Hard" for a 3 finger workout. The licks here are great. There are simple licks that works well with the slider, and the #2 licks have a bit more challenge and authenticity. Remember, when you select a measure you can use the sliders in the pop-up window to affect just that measure.

Mary Had a Little Lamb lyrics

Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb. Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went. Mary went. Mary went. And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go. It followed her to school one day, school one day, school one day. It followed her to school one day, which was against the rule. It made the children laugh and play, laugh and play, laugh and play. It made the children laugh and play to see the lamb at school. And so the teacher sent it out, sent it out, sent it out. And so the teacher sent it out, but still it lingered near. It stood and waited round about, round about, round about. It stood and waited round about, till Mary did appear. “Why does the lamb love Mary so, Mary so, Mary so? Why does the lamb love Mary so?” the little children cry
