The holiday season is officially here! What better way to get in the spirit than by learning "Jingle Bells" on the mandolin? Fortunately for beginners looking for easy mandolin songs, this song is an excellent pick. And, of course, you’ve got one of the genre’s hottest mandolin pickers in Mike Marshall as your teacher.

In the lesson, Mike breaks down the mandolin chords the song uses — G, C, D and A — and how to play them. “Jingle Bells” is an especially useful song for beginners to learn because it’s already so ingrained into our minds — you already know the melody, all you need to learn are the notes to play it. 

Enjoy the lesson, and we hope you enjoy this special time of year with a new song in your arsenal.
