Sleigh Ride - Solo Guitar Arrangement
Posted: Fri Nov 20, 2020 3:43 pm
Hot off the press... my long promised lesson on Sleigh Ride.
Sleigh Ride was written in the late 1940s by Leroy Anderson as a light orchestra piece. A couple years later Mitchell Parish added lyrics to it and it became an American Classic.
This arrangement covers all three main parts of the piece and has a few fairly challenging passages. The last segment includes a slow play through (with one or two unplanned events), which could give the student an idea of what to shoot for before trying to speed it up.
