Learn to Play Christmas Songs on Guitar
Auld Lang Syne
In this this lesson we will learn a Drop D tuning arrangement of the perennial New Years Eve standard, Auld Lang Syne.
Joy To The World
It all started with being in Double Drop D tuning! Here is a very easy chord melody arrangement of this popular Christmas carol.
Angels We Have Heard On High
This is a traditional French carol, arranged so we can review some of our recent lessons on bass lines and Travis style finger picking.
He Is Born (Il est né)
This lesson is a simple DADGAD arrangement of a very well-known, traditional French Christmas Carol titled Il Est Né, which translates to He Is Born.
Silver Bells
This is a simple chord melody arrangement of a Christmas classic that most beginners should be able to get a handle on fairly quickly.
The First Noel
Not so much a lesson as a nice chord melody arrangement of this beautiful Christmas song, courtesy of Peter Simms.
