Christmas is a great time to get out the guitar and play a few tunes for family and friends. For many years I've doodled around making up my own arrangements of christmas tunes for solo acoustic guitar using my favourite method, which has got to be fingerstyle. It offers a whole range of sound from high to low, and a great way of performing solo or with added accompaniment.

In this collection, I've chosen a mix of carols and Christmas classics which are both easy to play and well suited for fingerstyle guitar. They are aimed at intermediate players, and are also not too difficult for beginners. You should ideally be able to read guitar tab or music, and read chord symbols. Please feel free to change around the arrangements to make them your own, or change key if you want. Maybe they will inspire you to play more fingerstyle and create your own arrangements of other classic tunes. All the twelve pieces are supported by audio so you can hear how they sound.
