The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on the Open Fire)

A tough song to play, the Christmas Song has a jazzy feel to it. Listening to it isn't all that difficult, but it's definitely an "intermediate" song to learn. I heard the Mindy Gledhill version of this song the other day and decided that that was the version I would learn. If you're unfamiliar with that version, look it up. Or look here:





Here is a very quick tutorial of my take on this song. It is not 100% spot on, but it will get you far enough that few people will try to beat you with paper and bows if you play it.

Of course, if you run the risk of posting anything on Youtube or the internet in general, be prepared for people who think less of your abilities.

Hope this is helpful.
