In this lesson I teach the classic song Auld Lang Syne, which one often hears on NEW YEAR'S EVE!! This is a really fun arrangement. It's slow tempo allows you to really work on playing in tune and trying to get a really great tone out of each chord. In this arrangement I have kept very close to the melody, adding Bass notes and Arpeggios to fill in the holes making this song a great one to play solos or with a group. It's in the Key of D, but in Open G tuning (GBDGBD).

Have fun with this one, and HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! :-)

In this lesson I teach you the Traditional Christmas song "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". It's in the Key of C minor, and is in closed position based off of the 5th fret. This song is perfect follow up lesson to my other lesson "Minor Chords and Scales", due to the fact that "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" is based solely out of the C Natural Minor Scale. I teach it phrase by phrase going very slowly paying close attention to playing as in-tune as I can. This song is great for working on your closed position technique, and being able to play a scale, and then seeing how a melody can be built off that scale.

What This Lesson Covers:
This is my 2nd version of Silent Night. It is in the Key of C and I tried to make a version that has that "Old Timey" Dobro sound. I use lots of Slants, Slides, 2 Note Pinches, etc to give it that sound more like you would from someone like Bashful Brother Oswald. I've kept the arrangement fairly simple, so that you could even add more of your own embellishments if you want as well. This is a great lesson/song to work on your Slants and playing them in tune with the really nice Backing tracking in 3/4 time. I think you will have a lot of fun with this one!!!
