Hi all,

Since today is December 1, I thought I'd let you know there are lots of beginner-friendly Christmas-themed guitar lessons on Guitar Tricks. I know Christmas music is not for everyone, but for those who are interested, here are a couple of beginner-friendly tutorials you might enjoy this season.

The newest, We Three Kings, Four Different Ways, features a basic strum-and-sing version, plus a simple single-note melody version of the song.

There is also a tutorial called Christmas Classics for Beginners, which teaches 13 traditional songs, all using just the chords G, C, and D. Get those 3 chords down, and you can play the whole bunch of 'em.

Enjoy -

Well I can't view them, but one song that always comes to my mind when it comes to guitar and Christmas music is Greensleeves. Fun song to play on a classical guitar especially.

I've already checked them out, and have been practicing them. They are great, and I like the way that you inform as to where to Capo at. That's a nice touch.
We grow too soon old, and too late smart.
