Christmas Isn’t Christmas

Unlike the usual 3 fingers, I used 4 fingers for this song to give it a fuller sound. As I have explained before, in case you are new to this blog/site, please note that you can use any fingers you like, rather than following the fingers I use. The only reason I used the index and middle fingers on the right hand, and my index finger and thumb on my left hand is so that it would be easier for viewers to see which notes I played in the video.

I have divided this song into 3 parts, and even subdivided each part into smaller parts, so that it is easier to learn (a part at a time).

Note that in Part 3, I played the two notes on my right hand one note slightly early than the other (i.e., instead of together). It’s not really important, but if you can do the same, it would sound better.

Have fun! And Merry Christmas!

Long Time Ago In Bethlehem

There are 2 patterns in this song. But as you would notice in the video, you need only 2 “chords” on the right hand. It’s the left hand that needs to be busy changing the bass notes. But the bass notes aren’t that difficult really, if you can identify a pattern in its movement. It is actually the coordination between the left and the right hands that is tricky. If you play drum, or have some sense of beats, it would definitely help. Give it a try! 🙂
