Christmas Time Is Here - A Charlie Brown Christmas

[greghagger]

Every year me and my longtime mates perform the music from 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' at a gig after showing a viewing of the animation. The music is so great and we always get a lot of feedback saying it really gets everyone in the mood for Christmas. 

 

This annual Christmas gig means a lot to me as it sets me up for Christmas and I also get to play with my buddy Dan the drummer who I've know since we were 4 years old.

 

The Charlie Brown Christmas tunes were originally played by the Vince Guaraldi Trio and I always get my upright bass out for the gig to keep things authentic.

 

For the last GBS YouTube video of the year I've recorded me playing along with the original track of 'Christmas Time Is Here' on my upright bass. It can easily be played on electric bass though and I've written out a part so you can do that on either bass. You’ll find the free transcription under the video. 

I hope this classic will help you get into the festive mood 🎄
