Want to learn a Christmas tune?

Hi all,

Want to surprise your loved ones with a Christmas song or two? I’ve recently posted a new series of tutorials, presenting 5 popular Christmas songs, played acoustic fingerstyle.

Each song is presented 2 ways. First, a set of chords and a pattern to accompany singing the song. And second, an instrumental melody solo.

Depending on your interests and skill level, you can learn one, or both, versions of the songs. They are designed to go together, or to stand on their own, as you prefer.

The skill level of these lessons is Advanced Beginner/Low Intermediate.

Only 14 practicing days left until Christmas! Here are the links:

Too advanced for my fingers. Maybe next year. :o

I really love the way Lisa fingerpicks these songs. What talent. As a beginner I am practising each night and can almost do the first part of one of them. I will keep at it as this is the way I would love to be able to play. Will there be other songs in Tab fortcomming from Lisa in this style or are there other sources that present songs in this style?

Hi there-

So glad to know you enjoyed the Christmas tunes! Depending on your skill level and interests, you might like to check out these other fingerpicking tutorials. And stay tuned - I've got lots more on the way!
