Merry Christmas! This is a cover that I've been wanting to hit up for a very long time! I remember that I omitted it from my Mario Kart medley since at the time it was a very popular song for cover guitarists so I laid off of it. There's something so charming about the simplicity of the main progression that's so catchy.
I made a decision very early on to go straight jazz for the middle complete with improv everything. Most of what you hear is first or second take including the walking bass and chords since I'm really trying to bite into the style since I've been such a noob at it for so long. I took a lot of liberties toward the end for the sake of repetition and over all was pretty satisfied with how it turned out! Hope you enjoy it!
I'm closing out Sno-stalgia next week with a medley from Snowboard Kids 2! Hope you guys like it and thanks everyone who has picked up the EP! :)
