The Christmas Song
Added 2020-12-24 15:57:56 +0000 UTCHere's a video I'm going to post on my Instagram later, but I thought I'd put it on here first. It's a fun arrangement I made of a holiday classic spiced up with some jazz.
This style is called 'chord melody' - basically you play the melody note on top and put extra notes underneath to thicken and self-harmonize the sound. There's a million ways this can be done. I tried a few different arrangements and options before I settled on this.
Check out the attached TAB. It's definitely more for advanced players. You don't necessarily need to learn the whole thing, but even if you just grab a chord or two from it then it has proven valuable.
Enjoy!

Have you ever considered posting any of the acoustic parts from Heart Boner? (It feels wrong to be using the words "Heart Boner" on Lord Phobos's Patreon. Actually, never mind. It feels wrong to say "Heart Boner" anywhere. And now I'm giggling. But seriously though, it's a song with some lovely music.)
