Song 2 - The First Noel

Welcome to song 2 of this '12 Songs Of Christmas' series!

In this lesson we'll learn how to play a 3 chord arrangement of 'The First Noel'.

Key Learning Points

• Improving changes between the E, A and D chords

• Using fretboard positioning to consolidate chords progressions

• Further improving the skill of reading and understanding chord sheets

With all the arrangements in this series, and with chord progressions in general, we should look to work our 'muscle memory'. This is where visualising positions of chords on the fretboard comes into play as we do not need to remember letters or what direction chords move in. Instead, the way the chords feel to us and with ultimately training our hand 'muscle memory' to move in the same way every time, we really instinctively memorise the chords in arrangements.
