Happy Thanksgiving!
This fingerstyle guitar arrangement is in the key of A Major, and mostly in first position. There are some measures that are farther up the neck; 5th position in measure 11 (A chord as F chord shape), and 6th position in measure 7 (within 2-note harmonies on 4th and 1st strings).
For measure 7, it’s actually 5th position if you use your middle finger on 4th string and pinky on 1st string. I highly recommend getting used to using your pinky finger; it’s 25% of your 4 fingers that you use on the fretboard! Use of your pinky is essential when playing fingerstyle guitar.
Best wishes to you and your family as we enter to enter the holiday season. I plan to include more holiday music for guitar on this site. If you have any holiday song requests, or if you have any questions or feedback on the music for “We Gather Together”, please add use the comment section below. Thanks!
