Jingle Bells - Verse Section
A verse section will often set the mood or establish the nature of the song.
If a piece of music were like a short story, the verse section would likely describe the setting of the story, introduce the characters, and initiate the rising action.
In the song 'Jingle Bells', the verse section acts in this way.
Even before a note is played, there is an expression mark instructing you to play the song in a lively fashion.
As the verse section of this music plays out, it suggests a lively scene with characters having a joyful, exciting time.

On string number 1, place the fingertip of your fourth finger directly over the twelfth fret, so that your finger isn't just behind the fret as you would normally play, but actually over the fretwire.
Now instead of pressing the string down as you would normally, just allow your fingertip to rest on the string, dampening the string over the fretwire.
It requires only a light touch.
With your finger still dampening over the fretwire, pick the string, and just after you strike, pull your finger straight up and away from the string, allowing the harmonic to ring on its own.

Follow string number 1 up the neck until you reach fret number 12.
On most guitars, fret number twelve lies just after the double-dot fretboard marking.
If you place your fourth finger just behind fret number 12 and press down, you can strike the string to hear the note E Twelfth Fret, which is the correct pitch.
