O Holy Night Lead Sheet

[Edward]

OHoly Night does this perfectly for us. This song is in 6/8 time and has a lovely rolling feeling that makes a perfect environment to practice broken chords or arpeggios. Use your left hand to play these chords while your right hand accompanies with the melody or fun little riffs. Each note of the arpeggio or chord can line up with a beat. G-B-D-G-D-B-G = 6, so it fits perfectly into a measure of 6/8 music when played as 8th notes.

This lesson will show you 3 different ways to play this song. A lead sheet is available to download so that you can see the chords as well as a notated melody. So, whether you are a sight reader or prefer to play by ear, this lesson is for you!
