Hey Patrick,

Here’s a tutorial on the D7 hammer on and playing up the neck using the song Oh Mary Don’t You Weep. I really love playing this song, and bet others will too! Perhaps your Daily Frail patrons might like to take a look. Hope all is well!

    Thanks very much, John.

    You made a bet, so I will, too. I’ll bet that people love your voice as well as the tune.

    The tutorial was very clear and easy to follow, with nice clear shots of your left hand.

    This is one of my favorite tunes too and I’m happy to learn how to spice up my primitive strumming version. Thanks very much.

    I learned the version from Springsteen’s Seeger Tribute Album.

    OH (Em) mary dont you (B) weep dont mourn
    oh mary dont you (Em) weep
    (Am) Pharoahs army got (Em) Drownd-ed
    Oh (B) Mary dont (Em)weep.

    I usually bar across the 4th fret for the B chord and hammer on with my pinky on the first string 7th fret to get a little flavor out of it.
