Christmas Songs For Bass Guitar

Christmas Songs For Bass GuitarForwardMerry Christmas, and Happy New Year! Yep, there's one New Years song in this book, and you can guesswhat that is.Before you dive in and start jammin’ on some Christmas tunes, there are a couple of things I want to pointout.First I have multiple versions of the same song in this book. And here's why. Often Christmas carols have alot of chord changes. A lot of what are called “passing chords”. If you are playing with a guitar playersometimes these fast chord changes are a little more difficult for them to play. So I give you a more guitarfriendly version to make your 6 stringer friends happy.So I have included a version with these “passing chords”, then a version with some simplified chords. If youdon’t see a simplified version, then that means the original didn’t have a lot of fast chord changes.There is also a version of the song that has includes tablature for the melody. So you can play the melody ifyou want to. But you may also want to be able to pick out the melody to help your voice sing the right notes.So it's there if your voice needs some guidance as well.Many of the songs are also in multiple keys. So if you find one version is too high or too low for your voice,give one of the other keys a try.The songs in this book are in lead sheet format. This means that there is just the melody with the basicchords.If you are going to play and sing these songs, you are going to want to add an into. You need to establish thekey for everyone who is singing, and give them an idea of how fast you are going to play the song. Youcan't just jump in at the first measure and hit the ground running. An easy intro for a song in a lead sheetformat is to play the chords for either the last 2 or last 4 measures of the song.Have Fun! And don’t eat too much (it’s already too late for me) 2014 CyberfretBass.com2

Christmas Songs For Bass GuitarJingle BellsKey of GExtra LyricsA day or two agoI thought I'd take a rideAnd soon, Miss Fanny BrightWas seated by my side,The horse was lean and lankMisfortune seemed his lotHe got into a drifted bankAnd then we got upsot.A day or two ago,The story I must tellI went out on the snow,And on my back I fell;A gent was riding byIn a one-horse open sleigh,He laughed as there I sprawling lie,But quickly drove away.Now the ground is whiteGo it while you're young,Take the girls tonightand sing this sleighing song;Just get a bobtailed bayTwo forty as his speedHitch him to an open sleighAnd crack! you'll take the lead.65
