Today's Target and Pay Per release is just in time for Christmas..
As ELP was winding down the first phase of their career in 1974, Greg recorded a solo single that has become a seasonal standard, I Believe In Father Christmas. This piece is also done in Dropped D and uses a simple set of 2-finger chords working their way down the neck. He plays this with the hybrid picking technique but it can be done with standard fingerstyle technique as well.
It is a Level 5 hope you enjoy it
Cheers
Matt

Hi Neil, I was listening to the preview and I noticed how much your singing has improved. Not that it was bad before, but I could feel that you had to strain your voice sometimes. On this song particularly, I find that you are singing without any effort on your voice and you sound very good. I will reconsider singing based on your example as like playing guitar on a regular basiis , singing regularly with enthousiasm obviously can improve one"s performance. You will need to reconsider singing on your gigs
Very enjoyable.
Marc

Michele really I'm shocked and dismayed that you would think like that :ohmy: :whistle:Chasplaya wrote:Now best not to go around showing off your sore finger Chas.
