More description: these settings have lots of
two-finger chords for mandolin, with open strings. You can play several of these tunes
with only two fingers and they sound great too--the open ringing sound of
the mandolin is wonderful for Christmas songs! Also included are some
three-finger chords that you should learn, and the neat thing is you don't
have to move much to change between most of these chords. Players of
all levels will learn a few new chord moves. Nowhere is there a
"stretch" chord. The greatest reach in these chords is four frets.
You can back up these songs nicely without ever having to stretch your pinky
to the far side of the fretboard.
Guitar chords, also clearly diagrammed with fingering
indications, are provided for the same songs in the same keys in the
same order as the mandolin chord book--so it should be easy to convince your
spouse or roommate to play along with you! Guitar chords are in a separate
pdf document.
Note: this collection does NOT contain melodies or
tablature. See Roland White's Mandolin Christmas book/CD set for a more complete package with melodies and chords. Also see: It Came Upon A
Midnight Clear music and recording.
