Joy To The World, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, Good King Wenceslas
In this set of lessons, we are going to learn to play 3 popular traditional Christmas Carols.
We will learn to play each of these songs in two different styles:
First, we'll learn how to play a simple strumming version of the song that is perfect for singing along with - either by yourself, or with your friends, family, and community gatherings.
And then, we'll also learn to play a single-note melody version of each song. The single-note melody versions work beautifully as a solo instrumental, or to be played along with a friend who is playing the accompanying chords.
I'll be showing you these songs on my steel-string acoustic guitar, but they can also easily be played on a nylon-string classical guitar, and/or an electric guitar. The mood and sound will vary depending on what kind of guitar you use, but the techniques I show you can be used across the board.
In 2 of these songs, I'll be using a capo. This will allow me to use the easy chord 'shapes' of G, C, and D, while the capo allows me to adjust the key of the song to be a good fit for my singing voice.
You can feel free to learn these songs along with me, and then experiment with where to put the capo to best suit your own singing voice as you take it on your own.
