OK, now we're going to cover the right hand verse of the song. Now this is going to be
a little bit longer, but once we get this it'll be smooth sailing. It's going to start
with the key of G. And it's "Dashing through the snow".
Now I'm going to show you note by note how to play that. Now it starts with G and it
goes to E. So it's G, E, D, C, G. The next part, to A. So we're going from G to A. So
it's once again, G, now we're going to A. Now from here we're going to hit the A again,
and hit the F. So those notes are A, F, E, D, B. Now we're going to hit the G, the note
of G, here an octave higher from the original. So G, F, D, E. So that's actually the first
part of the verse on the right hand. I'm going to play it one more time for you. Now we're
going to do the second part of the verse. And once again it's almost identical to the
first part, but it's a little different towards the end. So here it is. Now we're going to
hit the G. So note by note I'm going to go over it. That's a G, to A, now we're going
to hit the G, one, two, three, then we're going to hit the A an octave higher, G, F,
D, C. Notice how that actually wraps the verse up and brings you back to the original position,
which is in C. And from there we can actually start the song again. And I believe that will
be the second chorus. And that's pretty much the whole song. There's a little bit of variation
but you've just learned pretty much the basic pattern of Jingle Bells.
