Away in a Manger Chords and Melody - Medium.
There are two lessons on this video. We want you to listen to and then play a "Melody only", phrase by phrase, version of the song, so you hear the beauty of the melody. Then, similarly we want you to listen to and then play through a "Chords only" version where you can strum the strings, or in the spirit of fingerstyle traditions, begin to use your right hand thumb and fingers to play block chords. Good exercises for any player.…’specially the listening part.
