Session 6, Part 1: "Jingle Bells"

For the final session of Holiday Songs for Mandolin, Aaron will take a look at a rhythmically driven arrangement of "White Christmas" inspired by Charlie Parker's rendition of the song. And because no holiday course would be complete without "Jingle Bells," he'll look at an arrangement of the song with a sprinkling of (optional) chord melody techniques. You’ll learn "Jingle Bells" in this video.
