Ms. Sherman: You are the most talented chord teacher in the world. I have been playing since I was 7, now I am 70. And most importantly you care about making sure you work within our minds and limits as you not only teach, but the student learns. I just ran into you through The Christmas Song and now I am going to learn a song of yours a week for a year. May God continue to bless your life.
I like your arrangements because they are technically affordable for an intermediate level. The harmony is not too complex which makes the melody appreciated even by an audience that does not have a jazz ear. That is why I congratulate you on your way of teaching. Greetings from France.
100% ...As a now old solo player, these arrangements from Sandra are so fulfilling to be sitting with the guitar and producing such melodic versions with zero accompaniment
Thanks for this well organized lesson Sandra. I really appreciate that you dive right in and not waste a lot of time with chat-fill in between chords or the progression of the piece. I love the great advice along the way too!
Sandra.... You are a deluxe Christmas gift to all of us around the World.... Thanks for sharing all the cool altered chords within our grasp.. pun intended....
down in southeast texas at christmas time we have a cujun gumbo cooking on the stove. i never had a roasted chestnut of any kind . i think mel torme wrote that song and he was a great drummer and singer. a beautiful song and your arrangements are spot on. thank you from texas.
I loved me some sweet roasted chestnuts. We call them Maroni here and your get them in the streets of Vienna everywhere, during the winter. They fry em in big mobile ovens. Yummue 😋.
I don’t know if I will ever be able to perform this song live but keep coming back every year to work on it. It’s the most beautiful version I have ever heard. Sandra you are an amazing artist and teacher . Hope this holiday season brings peace and happiness to your life and the lives of all those around you. 😊
I was one of those, who asked for this song! Thank you so much for this beautiful gift. I can't wait to learn it and play it to my family. Thanks for all you do, Sandra. All the best to you and your fam. Gerd
Thank you fo rparticipationg in the survey. I didn'T know this song, so without you I would have probably not picked it. But so many of you voted for this gem, so I gave it a listen and really liked it.
Thank Steve, for all your valuable feedback through the year. I'm glad you enjoy the lessons. Stay safe my friend and have a peacuful Thanksgiving and holidays.
I used to sing and play this song with some cowboy chords.Now you have given us a very nice arrangement with more suitable chords,thanks a lot and...Merry Christmas to you!
Thank you for all your hard work arranging these easy pieces. Due to Covid, lost band. Having to go back to solo gigs after many years and having easy to read arrangements has helped so much. I can read the heads then improvise, giving me quick access to a full set. Thanks again and please keep it up.
Excellent! Thank you so much for doing this gold standard Christmas song Sandra! By the way, every since You Tube stopped sending out "notifications" like they had for years, I missed this video until today. In any event, thanks again for doing this. Much appreciated! I want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Thank you Sandra! Yes, I know about clicking the little bell and that's okay I guess, but I truly miss the old way that lit up the line in white whenever I was sent an email and/or notification. I could simply glance at my computer screen and see I received something. Oh well.......
I didn't mean it in a creepy way. My band decided to pack it in so I decided to take up jazz guitar, and enjoyed your posts very much. I just started so I won't be posting any lessons. LOL JOHN
So many good things about your approach. Playing through at first is much appreciated. Your intermediate voicings are just perfect. The speed is perfect and your English is clearly articulated and enunciated. Much thanks and look forward to learning this in the next week. Season's greetings from Edmonton, Canada. Joyeux Noël!
Always a pleasure to listen and to learn from a teacher of Quality.Excellent.Heard a song today sung by Fred Astaire of all people.The song was called the way you look tonight.Nice one for you to teach.Cheers and have a lovely Christmas.
I've been playing rock and folk music for years and am now trying to get some jazz into the mix. Out of the many, many jazz guitar teachers I've watched on RUclips, you just might be the best. Thanks for doing what you do.
😂As a beginner guitar player i really enjoy your tutorials even though I can't play along fully they are still interesting to learn an hope one day I can play them
Yes, this one may a bit more difficult. It#s intermediate level. Make sure to know the basic jazz chords and the tension chords. I have both videos in my "Chords" playlist here on youtbe. The basic chords even come with a free PDF. In the Tension chords video I alos explain how the chord families work.
It’s one thing to play accord, another to understand, explain and play so delicately. This is why I think you are amazing. Thank you for the tutorial. It might take a little while, but I’ll give it my best ❤️
I love this song. Thanks for posting this. I'm looking through some videos for finger-style tutorials of classic Christmas songs to start learning now. So I have as many nailed down by the big day. Of course, that's only if we still have power hehe.
This is definitely my favourite christmas song :) . Guess I'll have a try for this years holiday season. Thanks for this really good lesson and greetings from a german colleague :) !
Great lesson as usual, fantastic instructor, A+ all the way. Subscribed ! Wish I had found your channel long ago. I was watching some of your older videos like Strat vs Tele vs Les Paul and I was amazed and impressed to see you rocking some Hendrix moves and other genre. I love the Jazz instructional you give but I would love to see what you have to offer in other styles ! I think you would be a help to us all if you could expand on that, (please). Thanks !
Welcome to my channel, Eric. I started out with a mixed style channel, but soon realized, that I'm better off with jazz. First of, bc that's what I learned to do and secondly bc there is aniche in that market. So I'm pretty happy with what I'm doing. Over on IG (#guitarversum) I post some Neo-Soul style other genres sometimes.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman it’s originally a french song the English version ‘beyond the sea’ you probably recognise, Django does a really killer cover of it if you wanna check it out. Keep up the great work, I’ve learned so much from your content 😊
Beautiful!! (I've been wondering...throughout all your videos you've got a really nice, clean tone. What are your settings on your amp (if miced) and guitar?)
Does that Howard Roberts give your arms or shoulder problems? I have an Ibanez that’s cut away just like yours - same thickness etc that aggravates my shoulder bursitis. I wish I could play it all the time but I use my strat instead. Any suggestions?
It doesn't anymore. It's not very fast (6cm I think). When it did I got off the D'Angelico Deluxe Mini DC.m, which had a great jazz sound for how thin and small it is! I made a review of it too: ruclips.net/video/z9Hq3uvlidk/видео.htmlsi=noAyZspvL90UeQY4
Great arrangement - I will buy this one as well :) . One question - in the bridge when playing "...Santa's on his way" it seems to be a lower pitch that the original vocal line. Is there another chord voicing that can raise the melody line? Or maybe it's just my old ears LOL
I don't know the lyrics to this song. We have totally different Christmas songs in Europe. This song was the winner of this years Christmas song poll. So in short, I don't know which chord you mean 😊
Thank You, Thank You Sandra! You are a marvelous teacher and guitarist. I bet I have over 25 hours invested in learning this arrangement I downloaded the Tabs and need to practice, practice, practice. But it is worth the work. I am retired now and have time to learn. I purchased my first Hollowbody electric guitar recently and I have a question. The Guitar is a D'Angelico Deluxe DC LE and the neck is not very player friendly in my opinion. I purchased the guitar from an on-line dealer and I didn't play before purchase I believe the frets are too high. Do you have an opinion on this guitar? I know your busy but if you find a minute to write back I would appreciate it. If you could recommend a guitar in around the $2,000.00 USD I would look at it.
D'Aangelico guitars have a 16" fretboard radius, which is super flat. I could never play those fretboards. Bar chords are very hard to play on such a flat radius. I happen to have a video up called "5 Best Jazz Guitars Under $1000) with a live chat in 90 minutes. I'll be in the live chat for 20 minutes (as long as the video lasts).

Hi Sandra, could you give me an example of what the Notation of the Christmas Song lesson material looks like?
Each XMas Tab has Tab + notation + chord diagrams.
Probably THE classic jazz Christmas tune! Nice rendition, Sandra - well done👍😄. Happy holidays to you🥂!
Ms I didn't even know it, until I made that survey. So great for me too, to get to know new songs. We have totally different Christmas songs here.
Great stuff Sandra. Any chance you could take a look at La Mer?
I would have to look that up. Or maybe I know the song, but don't recognize the name 🤔😊
