About this lesson

In this guitar lesson, we look at how to play Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday by Wizard. Again, fairly basic open chords for this one, but it is fast. This song also changes 'key' from D to E. A key is a family of chords, usually derived from the first chord in the song. The verses in this song are in the key of D (chords include D, G, A, Bm and Em). The chorus is in the key of E (chords include E, A, B and F#m). Notice that these chords are totally different with few chords in both keys. The best example other than this song is the end of a Westlife song, as they would sit down for most of the song, and then stand up at the key change! :) Subscribe here @ http://www.youtube.com/user/andycrowley?sub_confirmation=1 For more totally free guitar lessons, check out the website.
