So... I'm JUST getting into Hadestown! Last night i saw them on NPR tiny desk and it's soooooo good!!! I have an acoustic axe and i want to learn those songs!! Edit: I just played WWBAW on my acoustic axe (actually i noodled)! It's fun and easy to play!
Jacob, I love this lesson it is awesome. I have one question: The last call and response . . . when the chorus builds with "We have a wall to work upon!" boy that C-to-B/C progression just sounds off a little relative to the vocals but I can't figure it out. In fact every version I can find has this same open chord to start that line that just seems to not work. Close as I think I can get is on the C-B/C is to do it without my middle finger to give it just a little dischordant tone to it which it looks like Anais does something like that when I watch her play it live. But even that they *always* cut away right at that spot so I can't watch what her fingers are doing. Any tips on hitting it right, right at that spot? (I am actually having a lot of fun sometimes strumming it except for the bass walk)

Do you mean no middle finger in the left hand? As in the D string is completely open for both chords? That would be what I would go with. So the only strings that have fingers down are the A and B strings.
