I beg of you, please, please, please be patient when learning this song. This is just about the most complicated song I’ve ever attempted to teach through video. In retrospect, I shouldn’t have done it, cause it probably raises the bar on the difficulty of the songs I teach. But I really like the song, and I started it and wanted to finish. So here it is. I know I say “flat” alot, and I got annoyed hearing myself say it so much. But whatever… that’s the key the song is in. Anyway, enjoy, and Merry Christmas!
