I'll Fly Away is a classic and beautiful melody that sounds great on the mandolin. Learning the melody for a song is important. Without the melody you only have chords, and while that is part of a song, it's not the most identifiable part. So, learn and memorize the melody for a tune every chance you get

To learn or memorize a song you do not need your instrument in your hands. You need your headphones on your ears, or be seated in a comfy spot next to your speakers. Listening repeatedly is how you learn how a song is supposed to sound. Do that first, then start learning how to play it on the mandolin. Listen with Tunefox and to different recordings of this song. There will be similarities and differences between each version you come across.

Follow the pick directions and fret hand suggestions in the mandolin tablature. There's also some new musical vocabulary that you can use in the lick switcher. Licks are just short musical ideas. These are things you can use to add variation and interest after you get used to the melody.
