In podcast episode 78, we take a look at the lead guitar and the song

Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Helms. Greetings guitar engineers. Welcome to the guitar music theory

podcast. I am your host

Desi Cerna and today we're going to take another look at the song Jingle Bell Rock

back in podcast episode 37.

I examined the harmonic structure of the song

and showed you how you could play the chords on the guitar.

But I didn't cover any of the lead lines. So today I'm going to talk about that

Answer the questions I ask you about your playing and I'll send you free custom video

instruction calibrated to your current level.

I'll show you what you should specifically be working on right now in order to fill gaps in your

gap in your free and move forward.

because I'm gonna talk about what's happening musically

and you can listen to it.

So, the beginning of the song sounds like this.
