Practicing Tips

Learning Overview
'I Am a Pilgrim' presents flatpicking guitar tablatures for intermediate players looking to expand their expertise in Jam and Bluegrass styles. This medium-tempo, bluesy vocal song offers unique learning opportunities through its supportive features on the Tunefox platform.

Practice Tips
One of the key features to maximize on Tunefox is the Lick Switcher. This element encourages players to add new lick vocabulary, transforming a familiar song into an entirely new experience. Each measure holds potential variations, giving you the freedom to personalize the song's arrangement to your liking and discover fresh ways to interpret the song. Don't forget to tap on the measures to unveil the hidden licks!

The Arrange Slider is also a handy tool to incorporate into your learning routine. Setting a custom difficulty level becomes a breeze; simply slide to the left to remove "fill-in" notes for a more simplistic, core arrangement. Or, slide it to the right to reintroduce these additional notes and flesh out the song's full arrangement.

One method of optimizing your learning of 'I Am a Pilgrim' is through the Tempo Slider. It allows you to alter the tempo according to your comfort level, thus, ensuring a tailor-made learning experience.

Don't forget that playing along with backing tracks can not only enhance your skills but also add fun to your practice. Since playing Bluegrass is all about experimenting and playing the actual music, backing tracks will prepare you for your next jam session. Specific measures can be selected and repeated for focused learning practice.

The 'Speed Up' feature is ideal for comfortably increasing your playing tempo over time. Start at a speed that suits you best, and 'Speed Up' will gradually increase the tempo each time you play the song. It's a perfect method for slowly building up to faster speeds.

I am a Pilgrim lyrics

I am a pilgrim and a stranger

Traveling through this wearisome land

I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord

And it's not, not made by hand

I've got a mother, sister and a brother

Who have gone this way before

I am determined to go and see them, good Lord

For they're on that other shore

I'm goin' down to the river of Jordan

Just to bathe my wearisome soul

If I can just touch the hem of his garment, good Lord

Then I know he'd take me home

I am a pilgrim and a stranger

Traveling through this wearisome land

I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord

And it's not, not made by hand
