Follow the video along with the tabs to play this wonderful holiday tune for yourself!

“Winter Wonderland” is a song written in 1934 by Felix Bernard and lyricist Richard Bernhard Smith. Due to its seasonal theme, it is commonly regarded as a Christmas song in the Northern Hemisphere. Since its original recording by Richard Himber, it has been covered by over 200 different artists. Its lyrics are about a couple’s romance during winter.

A later version of “Winter Wonderland” (which was printed in 1947) included a “new children’s lyric” that transformed it “from a romantic winter interlude to a seasonal song about playing in the snow”. The snowman mentioned in the song’s bridge was changed from Parson Brown to a circus clown, and the promises the couple made in the final verse were replaced with lyrics about frolicking. Singers such as Johnny Mathis connected both versions, adding a verse and chorus. looking for online guitar lessons? First one is free!

Resources for ukulele players- where to find songs

There are lots of great resources online for songs you can play on ukulele! I’ve put a few links below.

Typically they fall into a couple of categories. There are paid sites that you can subscribe to, and generally they will have (in some cases quite a lot of) free video too, with in-video chord and fingering charts. Look at the free videos and that will tell you what the standard of paid video will be like.

Some sites will offer a great variety of music lyric sheets with the chords displayed above the lyrics. Lots of these sites are free, so if you don’t mind looking up your own chord fingerings, they are a great way to move forward without the expense of a subscription. There are also “fremium” sites that have characteristics of both previously mentioned. You can access and download the music, perhaps as a text file, but if you want to say, change keys, add songs to a “favorite” list, share your songs with a bandmate, they may charge you for that additional service.

Custom Video Lessons

Custom video lesson for the song you want to learn!

Let me know what song you’d like to learn to play and what level of guitarist you are. I’ll produce a video custom-made to help you with that song!

If a student of mine can’t make a previously-scheduled online lesson for some reason, I generally substitute a custom video lesson for the material that we would have covered in our session and post it to youtube. Besides being useful for my student, other guitar players might get some value from it too, right? But then I thought “what if I just make the video for someone who’s interested in learning the song?” So here we are. If you want to play a song, I’ll make a video to help you with that!

Here’s a page on my site with a link to some lessons done for students at various levels– from beginners to more advanced finger-style guitar students. I can help you with most techniques that involve playing chords and melody. Tapping and sweep-picking, sorry, not so much.

The offering generally includes an easily understood youtube video, description of what I’ doing, chord charts/tab or notation and/or mp3 file. Individual video lessons are $25 and you can pay for your own […]

The way you look tonight

How to play the way you look tonight. This was very early on for Art and myself and one of the first trio gigs we had! Of course, something had to go wrong… Patrick Kersson’s car broke down on the way to Whiting so he couldn’t make it! So we quickly figured out which songs in the set we could do as a duo and frankly, we didn’t do too bad a job of it. There are real advantages to playing with a solid pro like Art Baguer!

“If you really love guitar, you’re going to spend every waking hour stroking the thing.” – Frank Zappa
