Perfect choice for this year's Christmas song, Sandy! Thanks for all your efforts. I know you have so much to do these days, since your husband had the accident and can't do the video editing. You're a super woman. Stay strong, it will get better. Love, from Amsterdam ❤❤❤

Hello Sandra. Wondering if you have tips or a lesson for songs with AABA format & making the second A different from the first. 🤔🤔

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

I've just finished a Mini Lesson on that.

[@tactlacker]

Use different voicings but in the same octave! (Usually same chord but with root fretted on an adjacent string). I’ve recently incorporated this trick into one of my compositions and it was a game changer.

[@11kerol]

Thank you 😊😊😊🙏

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Glad you like it! Will you perform it on Christmas eve?

[@11kerol]

Yes will try...Thank you

[@alexanderaltago]

i love that song and you're nicer than Bing Crosby 😉, thanks for the lesson

[@brucehobbs6027]

Thank you Sandra---what a lovely arrangement. `am getting there with that Dm7 chord--! But what about those who want to sing--? Or are bullied into singing-! I've tried to modify it to suite vocals but am finding it difficult to come up with anything convincing. Not expecting to be a Barney Kessel/Julie London ! Kind regards from UK

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thank you for your kind words! ❤️ Check yourself a leadsheet of this song and learn to play thw comping chords. If you don't know how to do that watch my videos on comping chords. Most important one is this one, where I also explain the theory behind the chords: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6mcmYSojt1gbsU

You can use that in any song with the same chord type ending.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Is so much for your donation, Clayton! ❤️ I really appreciate it! Glad the tutorial was helpful and you like it. Have a great and swingin Christmas time! 🎄 🎶 🎸

[@startreker8591]

My fave solo classical piece but in a ballad like Bing(:

[@erin79]

Great lesson. I just wish you'd played the whole thing together at the end so we could see how things connected.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

The whole song is performed at the beginning of the video.

[@elvismioveni]

Amazing

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thank you! ❤️

[@Hugoslavian]

My piano teacher used to stab me in the head with the sharpened side of a pencil when I made a mistake playing scales and etudes, which is why I ran away from music at the age of 12. Why couldn't I have a wonderful teacher like you?!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

OMG 😱. What teaching method was that supposed to be? Teachers should be enthusiastic and get the student to love the instrument even more, not destroy their love for it. I'm glad you came back to playing again. ❤️

[@mariaantona6216]

Sandra, dafür kriegst Du einen Orden vom Weihnachtsmann und von mir einen fetten Kuß.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

😘😘😘 Back at ya 🤗🤗🤗

[@EdCarlson]

Hi Sandra, love your videos. Quick question: why did you say "B7b9 chord in the shape of a D#diminished chord"? Given it was a chromatic move between D and E, D# seems like the correct chord. Was it b/c of the "circle/cycle of fifths" movement between B and E? If so, how do you explain the move from D to B? thanks (eagerly awaiting your response!)

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

D#° = B7b9, which then resolves to Em. D to B7 is a I - IV progression.

[@EdCarlson]

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman ah-ha! thank you!
