Tuning: CGDGAD

This is one of El's favorite melodies in the 30+ years he's been arranging guitar music. The tune, called "Hyfrydol" (pronounced "huh-vrod-ul," and meaning "cheerful" in Welsh), has been used in over 14 separate hymns because of its popularity and quality. Interestingly, it contains a familiar chord progression, G, E minor, C and D, yet with some unexpected changes, and a compelling melody for the ages. Every guitarist interested in spiritual music should learn this song.
