Started rehearsing my Christmas repertoire this morning! I start playing the Salvation Army kettle tomorrow on Black Friday!

[Shrtbull]

Thanks!!

Thanks so much. Would be perfect if they included chords too.

With the Key in hand, you can sort out your own chords (and add substitutions for your own flavor). Start with I IV V. That's why I like these simpler arrangements. Easy to build and develop your skills on.

Hi All - Here's another source for Christmas Music in standard notation with Chords. www.wikifonia.com

On the home page enter the title. This brings up the song plus a list of others. Click on the title and it displays the tune in std. notes w/ chords. In the upper right hand corner is the word Download, Click this and you get a full page printable copy. NOW, the magic: click on the word TRANSPOSE and you can pick your key. Click on the key and it instantly transposes for you.

Great resource for Cristmas music and lots of other tunes.

That site seems to be shut down

I can't see how to download your Christmas book. I'm logged in but clicking on the "attached thumbnails" doesn't do anything.

For those who want it, here is a circle of fifths which list all the keys, and their key signatures. Starting at the top and going clockwise you have C which has no sharps or flats. Then there is G, one sharp F, then you have D with 2 sharps F, C. The sharps are all the sharps prior plus one half note down from he Key signature. i.e. Since C has no sharp/flat, G has one, go down 1 half step from G and the sharp is F. D is next, and since G has one sharp, F, then D also has F#, and one half step down from D is C#. To put it a bit simpler all the sharps in order are: F, C, G, D, A, E, B. You just keep adding one more as you going clockwise around the circle starting with G, and ending with the key of C#. The order of flats are: B, E, A, D, G, C, F (exactly opposite of the sharps) starting with the key of F (has B b) and ending with the key of C b. And the inner circle shows the minor keys. If you look at the circle of fifths, you soon start seeing all the patterns.

ok, the above "deleted" message has an alternate pdf of O Holy Night..... even if you can hardly see it, obviously I need some instruction on how to make pdf's as viewable as others do. First page of the pdf is blank, music is on 2nd page, melody only, no chords or tabs.

Played guitar for years always wanted a mandolin. Wife and kids got me on last Christmas, but I had to learn Christmas songs for this Christmas. I am giving a couple of months to polish it up, but very easy to read and play, thanks

Hi All,

I don't suppose anyone can point me to OR provide me with the PDF linked to at the very start of this thread please?

I'd have a go at picking stuff up by ear but time is getting short and I'm not very quick!

Thanks.
