It's Christmas! To help you get in the spirit I decided to build this lesson around the classic song "The First Noel".
This piece in A Major is a great song to improvise in the major scale and use all the guitar tricks that we love.
Start by memorizing the different scale shapes and work on the theme. Then take the different licks of the lead and use them in your own leads.
Merry Christmas everyone!
