    Love this tune https://youtu.be/GvFOiig5RKM?si=2utqlHhSLbGoPK5T

    Curious if I want to (or should I?) Add double stops to notes I play on the G string can I use the open A (or open G on Vla) or do I need to add fingering to that higher string? Thanks

        Hey Folks, this is a start to your requests for sheet music on White Christmas. I have a roughly hand written version, including an upper octave version. It may not be totally accurate though a good start.
