Описание: Check out http://www.freejazzlessons.com/christmas to access my entire Christmas piano course!

In this Christmas piano tutorial I show you how to play the first few bars of "The First Noel" in a jazz piano style. The First Noel is a traditional English Christmas Carol.

The traditional version of the song uses just a 3 chord progression. Inside this tutorial I show you how to add all kinds of other chords in there to spice up your Christmas piano music.

There are so many cool things you can do to Christmas songs to make them sound interesting. You just have to know the right types of chords to throw in.





The First Noel Lyrics:

The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay:
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far:
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel.

And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from the country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

This star drew nigh to the north-west;
O'er Bethlehem it took it's rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

Then entered in those wise men three,
Fell reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the king of Israel.

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
That hath made heaven and earth of nought,
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
