Jingle Bell Rock was a novelty hit in 1947 for Bobby Helms. The bouncy tune follows the common form A-A-B-A like many songs from the Tin Pan Alley era songwriters.


This lesson is mostly a straightforward alternate bass fingerpicking style with a bit of a ragtime feel in swing time. It also touches on syncopating some bass notes, meaning playing them an eighth note early rather than on the beat.

Jingle Bell Rock - I thought you had made a lesson before,
but maybe you played in the weekly news a while back.
Thanks for anoher cool ( it is winter) Christmas tune.
