Happy Thanksgiving!
This version of song melody is in key of A Major. This may not be a singable key for everyone, but it might work for women (sopranos) and young children.
This transcription of the single note melody is mainly in first position of guitar fretboard, but it does extend to 7th fret (B note) on the first string (high E).
This A Major melody uses open string notes on first 2 strings (B, E), so that may make it easier for beginner guitar players.
If you apply this melody fingering to ukulele (1st pos.), or guitar with capo at 5th fret, then you would actually be playing in the key of D. The key of D Major is a more singable key for this song.
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!
