Part 2: Songs
The chaps did two fantastic arrangements of classic Christmas tunes, White Christmas & The Christmas Song. We'll be doing full lessons of these tunes for you, which you can find below. To help you get started though, you can use the scales below to work out the melody of each of the songs. For 'The Christmas Song' we use the scale of C# major, and for 'White Christmas' we are using the G major scale across the neck. Here are those scales:
The Christmas Song
White Christmas
