Great Song by a Great Singer. R.I.P.

[@LaurenBateman]

Yes.

[@FAYMprod]

a play thru for this would be a christmas miracle :)

[@Saulbrotherr]

Hi, ..I try to learn this song with your video, but I think that, if you play the song first and after teach by parts is more easy to understand. Thanks for share your talent.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@patgaff3886]

[@LaurenBateman]

I haven’t tried any Christmas songs yet and don’t own an ugly sweater but this one seems doable for me. Your demo of the strumming is very helpful and necessary for the mood of the song. I can’t sing and play yet but I will try playing this one and maybe find somebody to sing along. Thank you.

[@LaurenBateman]

Don't worry about the singing and playing just yet. This is a great song to start with.

Lauren When i add a capo too 2 fret it sounds nothing like I have tuned guitar checked capo could it be my string i have 11 Pat

[@LaurenBateman]

Hmmm. Not sure. Could depend. Sometimes recordings on KZbin are off pitch a little bit.

[@donnamoyle6349]

Hey Lauren I've been playing this and to me it don't sound any different in the cords after DD and then D7 D G E. Are these last cords played for I beat or is that just the D7. Thanks

[@robmiller3464]

Hi Lauren, you’re lessons are great. Just a suggestion- don’t use a capo and start in E. There is no bar chord in this song. Use just 3 fingers with Bbdim chord on words Xmas of white. Easy chord and song will sound great. Not sure, but viewers might like it better who knows!! Love your lessons, thank you.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hello Dennis!

[@YBL412]

Merci pour ces supers tutos , j adore et progresse grace a toi , je voulais savoir si sur cette version il était possible de mettre des basses comme dans la version sans capo , merci de ta réponse et continue de nous faire rêver ainsi..un petit bonjour de France

[@LaurenBateman]

Yann, thank you and Merry Christmas!

[@zayneunderwood1488]

Okay, yeah well that "Dino" 🦖 Christmas🎄sweater is something else entirely...! 👀 And an appearance by "Squeezy" the blaze orange 🍊Capo... And Elvis! 🎶 This Christmas won't be so blue...💙 Thanks Teach...🍎

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks Zayne 😃

[@Tannant65]

You should make one more advance lesson of this tune with the riffs and walk down.....

[@LaurenBateman]

Great recommendation. I'll try adding them to my list.

[@2011littlejohn1]

I think this song has chromatically descending chords in the first verse and at the same place in the second verse uses a diminished. I like Elvis's vocals the best but instrumentally prefer Shakin' Stevens guitar sound on his version - played by the great Albert Lee I think.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@judyhoomalamalama]

I just love when those funny christmas sweaters start a conversation. Thanks for this on an old classic song. Woo Hoo

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad you enjoyed it

Unfortunately I don't have any guitars to give away :(

[@gregoryb2999]

I really enjoy playing Silver Bells and Blue Christmas because of so much you can do. Hey I got the playing down I just sound like Porky Pig singing any help with this? Lol

[@LaurenBateman]

Hey8 Gregory, I recommend you check out my good friend and teacher Katie O'Brien. www.KatiesCrashCourse.com She has a free singing course. It won't be free for long so go grab it now!

[@gregoryb2999]

@@LaurenBateman Thank you but I just can't sing to save me life. However my youngest daughter is in band and loves to sing so I will recommend her to daughter. I am one of those people who are fortunate to play anything with strings and drums and keyboard but no ability at all to sing.

You can do it!

[@guitarplayerdonald7546]

Please slow this way down match the chords before each line of words. Hard to follow to fadr

[@LaurenBateman]

Hi Donald, I would recommend grabbing the chord chart on the website to see exactly how the chords line up with the lyrics.
