The live session will be hosted on the JG Community Youtube channel so please remember to subscribe and click the notification button too. :slight_smile:

Please join me for this year’s seasonal Vintage Club. My remit does not usually include teaching song lessons, but hey, what the heck. I’m putting away my natural inclination to be a little bit Grinchy, parking the Bah humbug to one side, and embracing the seasonal spirit.
We going to learn a festive favourite, a classic Christmas crooner, we’re going to wish for the snowflakes to fall.

Let It Snow!

Preparation / Preview

This session embraces the festive season and offers the chance to learn a seasonal classic. A song expressing the wish of white flakes falling, a winter wonderland. The song is Let It Snow and we take inspiration from the Dean Martin version.

All we need are some simple open chords and a little bit of swing rhythm. We will use eight chords.

Just to thank you for a great year of learning and thoroughly enjoyed Let it Snow tonight. Even though for some bizarre reason I couldn’t get Winter Wonderland lyrics out of my head, another Dean Martin classic. So that made for an interesting night! All the best for Christmas and New Year.

Thank you Richard @Richard_close2u for a hugely enjoyable lesson last night. If only I could make my fingers make the Dm - A7 - Dm changes at the necessary tempo might have something that sounds half reasonable, I know, practice and it’ll come.
Wishing you a Merry Xmas and a Happy, Peaceful New Year.

Is anyone going to record Let It Snow and share in AVOYP? That would be fantastic. You could also share in this festive topic: AVOYP Community Christmas / Festive songs 2025
