White Christmas Ted Greene - Transcribed by Anders Hagstrom.pdf

Christmas time is almost upon us, and it is time to work on some Christmas songs.

This transcription of Ted playing "White Christmas" is a collaboration between Paul Vachon and me.  Paul asked me to transcribe this tune for the tedgreene.com December Newsletter, and he offered to write Ted-style "chord grids" to the notation.  We both worked hard on this and Paul did a great job with the graphics.  I hope this makes it easier to learn and play this arrangement.

You can find the recording under the Video section of the website, and I recommend that you listen to it to get a feel for how you can play this piece.  I have played along with the recording and I have tried to come up with the best way to finger all the chords on the neck. I had to make small adjustments to the notation in some places because of the "rubato" performance.  But apart from that, I hope you will find this transcription to be accurate.

This is a long arrangement, and it has many chords to learn.  However, it should not be too difficult if you are familiar with Ted’s other work.  Most of it is pretty straightforward, but if you have trouble with fingerings etc., please post a question in the Forum, and I will be glad to assist you.

Also, Thanks to David Bishop for his help with the proofreading. Very much appreciated!

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas holiday!
