Christmas Guitar
Christmas songs on electric guitar are a fun way to practice melody playing, fingerpicking and arranging familiar tunes. Everyone knows these melodies, which means any mistake is immediately obvious, but also means your audience connects with the music right away.
The arrangements range from simple single-note melodies to full chord-melody versions that challenge even experienced players.

Christmas Guitar Arrangements
Christmas songs work well in any tuning and at any skill level. Beginners can play single-note melodies over backing tracks. Intermediate players can add chord fragments underneath. Advanced players can build full chord-melody arrangements in the style of Joe Pass or Tommy Emmanuel.
Clean tone with a touch of reverb keeps it festive without getting muddy. These songs are great December practice material that you can actually perform for people.
