Some not often used chords here...it looks easy but it is tough for me

A master choice so Southern it couldn't be more so with 16 oz of hot sauce all over it:

I'm sitting trying to figure out the solo as we speak.  I'm trying to just an Am pentatonic scale, but for some reason it just doesn't sound right some times!  I'm afraid I am not rocking "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree."

let´s go

The key is D major!!!!

If you'go pentatonic you can go Dmaj or Bmin !!!!

@diceslinger - that may help

I think I grabbed my tabs from the Rocksmith version, so I think it is in C.  This is the scale I found worked

 

This is good for me to learn, but man I feel like I'm beating my head against the wall.

@Rodman Ok, Now that I got something resembling a solo figured out, here is my effort.  This was harder than I thought it was going to be!  I ended up playing Let it Snow with my son on bass for our family Zoom get together, then Good King Wenceslas with my daughter on violin.  I love these times, though I fear they are fleeting.

 

Masterclass Lead 97.08% (sightread)

 

damn this song is hard to get a high % on, but it's very fun to play. never heard it before, i like it a lot!

Well, highscrored from last time we played it 😃

This one is a lovely piece of music but a serious doozy, at least for me. ^

Too advanced for me fellas: 

 

TThis song makes me feel like Arthur Morgan

yay, what a ride, esp. for those who refuse to use a pick on bass
