Here's a great crosspicking version of "I'll Fly Away" for guitar. Read through the guitar tab before playing. Listen to the arrangement in Tunefox player before practicing. Get familiar with the sounds before diving in and make that part of regular practice. Do you notice anything after reading and listening? If you've already learned the crosspicking version of I'll Fly Away, which follows the verse melody, you should notice some similarities. The only difference between the two arrangements are the first 2 measures. That is because the verse melody and chorus melody are almost identical except for how they begin.

If any of this is too tough you can always use the difficulty slider. When you're first learning just go a note at a time. Don't try to play with the Tunefox player from the start. After you get comfortable, try to play a measure at a time using the focus feature very slowly. Master a measure at a time, then try and put it all together.
