Default my new original fingerstyle song "When it Snows"

Hey all,
I usually arrange a Christmas carol each year, put it on a cd and give it out as my card for the year.

This year I made up my own song. It's supposed to remind the listener of falling snow. I hope someone enjoys this.
Christ is Born!

Nicely done--some real interesting changes and definitely evokes the mood of a gentle snowfall...

Nicely done, very enjoyable. I agree with jpfeiff, the title is very fitting. Did you record this in standard tuning?

Yes it is standard tuning. But I did use a lot of open strings and pull offs.

Very beautiful song. The picking pattern really makes the song. It's what gives the impression of falling snow. Nice job.

Default It's not my fault.

The snow I mean. It came of its own free will. And shoveling 16" of snow might cause me to change my tune a bit.

That must be the part where you use the dissonant chords. Thankfully there are the grandkids who are old enough to want to make a buck.

Lovely, Tim. Good job.
