This is a really fun version of Jingle Bells to play. It starts in the key of G then modulates to C, and I've thrown in some Doc Watson-type chromatic runs to keep it interesting!

    Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

    Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.

    The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

    There's a slower track in the resources for this one. If you want it slower still, let me know and I'll cut one.
