Drunken sailor

First of all I would like to thank you for the lessons. My question is: Isn't "Drunken sailor" a litle too hard for a beginner because of so much 16th notes, I am a beginner and I have difficulties with that song.

Hi Bojan,

Thanks for the nice comments. In regards to the Drunken Sailor, I put that in specifically so beginners could practice their 16th notes, albeit slowly.

Remember they're only single notes as well, not chords, which will also aid in practicing their alternation of i.& m. fingers free stroke.

Practice very slowly until you can manage it without mistakes then increase your speed a little more.

Hope this helps,
