[@guy7026]

Here after 15 years

[@Eric5923]

Ok Jim, you got this hard rockin' guitar player all interested now, took about 3 hours to learn these two parts of let it snow, I need the rest. I love these chords and rythyms, don't stop now.

[@drohrer2021]

Thank you so much. I don't quite have the musical knowledge or talent to make something like this up, but after watching your video multiple times, I can play it decently enough! It will make me very happy to be able to play this for my friends and family this season. Thank you very much.

[@guitaress1]

Nice lesson. Lots of detail and clear explanation.

[@gress]

[@PICKNGRIN000]

[@germanmartinez1994]

Youre the best for doing this =]]] amazing voice, and even more amazing person for being selfless and kind enough to do this! Merry Christmas and God bless =D

[@augas]

This is very good! You helped me a lot! Thank You!

[@JimKeyes1]

Thanks. It's a Cort Earth 900. Factory-made in Korea. You can still find 'em on ebay. That's where I got this one.

[@trypsin881]

wow you're an amazing teacher...

[@SamAndGeeMusic]

you were really helpful, great lesson.

[@rodakorn]

Thank you for this lesson!!

[@PangKhaiShuen]

@JimKeyes1 The full chord is supposed to be G minor minor 7th, coz it's a G minor chord with a minor 3rd after D.

[@HoltHockey27]

dude you rock! are you doing any other lessons for other songs??

[@stunnuh9000]

hey jim. ive watched the three lessons and i must say, i am impressed. i also noticed you havent been on in a while so i was wondering if you can make a progression solo type-thing for the most wonderful time of the year, or white christmas. Yes i frequently think about christmas in july. anyway much appreciated. p.s. ive been trying to get this song for exactly a year tomorrow and still havent gotten it mostly due to tech failure but... im going to get it

[@JimKeyes1]

I see what you mean. You're right, that is an F#/Gb chord. I use that chord to explain to people how to finger a minor 7 shape. I tell them to start with an open A chord and then get a finger up on the sixth string, second fret. Then you can move that shape anywhere you want.

[@cool_milk]

Classic!

[@JimKeyes1]

Thanks for commenting, but I don't want to confuse people who are learning this. The chord is Gmin7. The root is G the third is Bb (minor third) the fifth is D and the 7 is F. This spells out Gmin7. There is no ambiguity here.

[@naturelribbelchips]

please quik do the other part of the lesson christmas is in one month!

[@bensquires100]

Awesome!!!! Thankyou

[@thejimp77]

Thanks Jim

[@JimKeyes1]

You are welcome!!

[@flyflyflysohigh]

I can't understand how do you mute the chords imediatly after playing them (for right hand).So you do something like this: Pick chords>Mute them>Slap chords>Pick chords>Don't mute this time>Up with index>Slap chords.At least this is how I hear it. If I'm right can you tell me please how you mute the chords?I really want to learn to play this song till Christmas.Thank you very much.

[@JimKeyes1]

Thanks for saying so.

[@JimKeyes1]

I'm so glad.

[@grimiiie]

you teach very well, is it your own composition or have you taken parts from others? my jazz guitarskills isn't the best, do you know a good way to develop them better?

[@JimKeyes1]

Thanks, let me know how it turns out.

[@Salamaleikum80]

[@JimKeyes1]

[@d.h.l.kinikini5606]

[@RighteousHombre]

What key is this arrangment in? I have a singer that wants to play this with me, and she wants to know the key.

[@JimKeyes1]
