BEGINNER LESSON

LET IT SNOW

This fantastic Dean Martin song is the perfect tune to fingerpick at Christmas time.

Verse

Start with the melody

I suggest you just play the melody on its own to begin with. If you know the melody of the song, then playing it should be easy enough.

ADDING THE BASS

We begin with a C chord and play a 5-4-6-4 pattern (the four bass notes you see in bar 1 and bar 2).

Then there is an Em7 and a D# diminished with an F# bass in bar 3 and a G chord in bar 4.

Bar 5 is D A7 D minor and then we have the lovely run down.
