Overview

Christmas Music for Easy Guitar is now available as Volume One and Volume Two. Each song in both volumes is arranged in four ways: 1. Single-note melody with tablature (easy).2. Chord-melody with tablature (more advanced).3. Single-note melody with only standard notation.4. Chord-melody with only standard notation. I use the standard notation arrangements to train my own guitar students to improve their ability to read music for guitar, but many guitar players will surely prefer to use the tablature arrangements to learn the songs. If you can not yet read standard notation, or would like to improve that skill set, the book 300 Progressive Sight Reading Exercises for Guitar will help you enormously. There are links on my webpage for this book, and to a set of free video lessons to help you get started acquiring your reading skills. Lyrics are appropriately included for convenience, for this book is meant to train guitar and musical skill - not to be a collection of sing-along arrangements. Songs Include: Angels From the Realms of Glory, Auld Lang Syne, The Boar's Head Carol, Bring a Torch, Carol of the Bells, Christ Was Born on Christmas Day, Coventry Carol, The Friendly Beasts, From Heaven Above to Earth I Come, Gesú Bambino, Good Christian Men, Rejoice, Good King Wenceslas, Hallelujah Chorus, Here We Come A-Wassailing, The Holly and the Ivy, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desire, Jolly Old St. Nicholas, Noel! Noel!, Ode to Joy, Once in Royal David's City, Toyland, The Twelve Days of Christmas.
