Christmastime/Michael Penn & Aimee Mann
one of the toughest chord patterns I’ve ever tried
I hope this is all correct, I welcome any thoughts, there is a lot of orchestration
that obscures the root note but there is acoustic guitar throughout. I think
this accompaniment works well, with the recording or solo.
