BEGINNER LESSON

LET IT SNOW

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

Verse

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.

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.

The best way to learn the chorus is again to play just the melody first.

We have a G chord for the first 2 bars, then Am and D for bar 3.

We have a G chord for bars 5 and 6 and A7 to Em7 for bar 7 and back to G for bar 8

Let It Snow is a fantastic song to learn for christmas
