SH- Great version of that piece. You gave it a great feeling.
Rickster- that sounds like a standard. You got a winner there.

Happy holidays all! I was just going through a bunch of these posts and got big smiles on my face over and over - nice job all! In the spirit of Christmas I wanted to share a quick vid I did for my newsletter a few weeks ago. It gives away some nice chord changes to Jingle Bells that, after listening to some of these posts, should be right up everyone's alley. In constantly being sensitive to not pitching stuff here in the forums, this link just goes to a generic page (vs. my website) and I'm pretty sure I don't mention any products in the vid so I think I'm OK giving this one to you guys as "little present" for the holidays. (Frank, if it's not OK just take it down. I'm fine with whatever ... just thought it would be fun for Christmas coming up.) here's the link to the vid: Hip Jingle Bells Chord Changes

Thanks for the comments, Ladypayne, Peyton, Bill, mom3gram and all!
And, Scott, that was a great training video on the fancy cords for Jinglebells! I enjoy all your training videos!
Take care,

Seems OK to me and thank you very much for posting this. I will have to give this a go later this week. I'd love to also get something similar (and simple) for the good old Classic "The Christmas Song". I'm also very chuffed that you come on here and share these things with us  - SC

MR. SH
Great playing "Christmas Time" I don't know which is better your ear or your piano! They make a wonderful pairing.
Elssa
Thanks for the Sleigh Ride...I had fun!
Ladypayne
Thanks for the Merry Christmas Wish, I enjoyed listening.

Hi, Scott - I laughed all the way thru the Jingle Bells. I won't remember the exact chords, but it'll make my experimenting crazier yet - which is good, really, it's good! I can hardly wait to try out more minors and then major 7ths instead of dominants. Thanks for the smiles this morning.

Carl Mc - Thanks for watching/listening... and for your kind comment(s) - I'm glad you enjoyed them. I've been having *BIG* fun using these 'string methods' (see: Henry Cowell, etc.), and combining/looping them with the computer, in a 'live' presentation. - It's very much like walking on eggs sometime... But I'm learning to wear soft shoes as I proceed down this path...

Working on O Come O Come Emmanuel from Bastien's Christmas Book 4. Some very unnatural jumps for me, and it's been very slow going, but I'll get something posted in the next week or so.

It's good to see everyone getting along so well. I just got off the company's union forum and I needed to escape to make sure that the world isn't coming to an end. Mr. S-H, good job on Christmas Time is here. I think I remember that from a couple of years back. Ladypayne, I liked your piece...it sounds like a clock playing. I just recorded another video and I'm going to take my Best Buy rewards and cash them in for a new video camera, because the quality is terrible. I hope you can look past that. I'm a big fan of Vince Guaraldi, so here's another one. Christmas Song from the Charlie Brown Christmas Album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaAqH6F17tI&feature=player_embedded
I always wanted to pretend that I was an architect.

OK, I heard the "jazzy jingle bells" I posted a few days ago was a little tough for some of you. For you beginners, here's 3 sequential lessons to get you playing a very passable version of Silent Night by next week's holiday. If this gets any of you playing Silent Night in the next few days - post it here! Let's hear it! Have fun! If you want a lead sheet in the key I am playing it you can get one here: PDF of Silent Night Lead SheetLesson 1: [video:youtube]S92NCty07vY[/video] Lesson 2: [video:youtube]suBM3t_jwVo[/video] Lesson 3: [video:youtube]KN1ar7XPP3Q[/video]

I've thoroughly enjoyed all the Christmas songs posted here. Just out of curiosity, what do you all use to record video? The recordings are pretty good quality, without any background noise (and some recordings are clear without any editing). Does a normal web camera suffice, or a normal camera, or do I need to invest in a camcorder?

to scmay: i just use a regular digital camera for mine. Nothing to special, then I use a freecorder toolbar which you can get for free off the net and I use the record audio button to get my audio mp3 from my video and load it up to box.net :P pretty simple and inexpensive way of doing it. Or I'm sure you can invest in more expensive ways to record your videos if you want really good quality stuff.

I just bought a Pure Digital Ultra HD with my Best Buy rewards card and I re-recorded the Charlie Brown Christmas song this evening. I think this one may be a little better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyRRdxb87iw
