How To Play EVEN MORE
Great
Christmas Tunes On Guitar!
(Just
In Time For The Holidays)
Dear
Guitarist,
It's
that time of year again, and Christmas music has already begun
to fill the air. Last year we learned how to play classic
holiday renditions of some of the greatest acoustic guitar
music you hear during the Christmas season.
This
Year, It's YOUR Turn To Add To The Holiday Cheer!
Learn
ROCKIN' Christmas renditions in the style of one of the
most celebrated holiday bands in the world....
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra!
Based
in New York City, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra united a 60-piece
orchestra plus chorus with the talents of Paul O'Neill, a
veteran hard rock producer. The group released its debut album,
Christmas Eve and Other Stories, just in time for the 1996
holiday season. The Christmas Attic followed in 1998, and
two years later the group issued its first non-seasonal recording,
Beethoven's Last Night. In 2004, the band returned with the
new album Lost Christmas Eve and collected all their Christmas
recordings on the three-CD/one-DVD collection Christmas Trilogy.

About
Our Initial Launch
When
we first launched this site last year (2006) we weren't sure
how you would feel about learning holiday music, since it's
only heard once every year around this time, and has a tendency
to sound like elevator music.
Man
Were We Wrong!
Not
only was ChristmasGuitarist.com a HUGE success last year,
we received literally hundreds of testimonials that our renditions
were much more than just elevator music - they were challenging
and actually loads of fun to play!
--Deck
The Halls (4 versions from Easy - Advanced) --Silent Night --The First Noel (4 versions from Easy
- Advanced) --We Wish You A Merry Christmas (2 versions) --White Christmas (Jazz Version)
--Joy
