  • Hey do you think you could post the notes....really want to play this for my family on christmas

  • Wow so I'm not the only one that listens to this every year. Those chords are so beautiful yet so haunting.

  • those CHORDS!

  • its that time of year again!! time to listen to this song regularly for the next month and a half like i have been for the past few years. pure joy. 

  • BEAUTIFUL!!!!! 

  • I'm working on tabs for this song - but even with tabs y'all will learn, like i am learning the hard way - that having the chords and making the song like this are 2 different things. There's so much feel to the way this song's played - no amount of tabbing can teach.

  • @praxkan hi, did you work it out?- the tabs for this version of the song - cause there are lots of people wanting to learn it ans i'm one of them, so it would be awsome if you did share them with us... :D

  • @qukazoo I'd gotten around to upto 2 mins of the song and then got busy with shows lol... i'll try have the rest by christmas hopefully !

  • real nice, enjoyed it!

  • awesome

  • Any chance that I would be able to get tabs/sheet music for this one? Just awesome playing by the way. I'm hoping to get a head start and actually have some songs ready for Christmas this year, as opposed to years past. I can give you my email if that's needed. Again, keep up the awesome work, just beautiful.

  • do u sell the tab for this? i really wanna learn it!

  • This is the BEST cover so far... Don't you just love Christmas?...... But I hope you'd try to harmonize the background, please? put the Christmas spirit there, it'll be then just so perfect :o)

  • that was amazing. simply fantastic arragement. i'm totally bookmarking this this vid. What one (1) person would dislike this?

  • great, just great....thank you :) Wonderful chord choice

  • What is the name of this guitar? I have been looking for one forever!

  • Awesome Video!

    could u send me the sheet music and/or tab?

  • go expos!

  • What tuning is this? Is it standard?

  • i love the way u play it...teach me please.. ^^ share the tab if u dont mind..

  • teach me please.. ^^ please share the tab.. :)

  • awesome playing bro! love the jazz chords. GO ASTROS! haha jk

  • Top drawer!

  • Beautiful chords. Everything was great except for the ending. The ending should have gone something like this GO YANKEES!!!

  • Nice!! I even like the hat and your facial involvement in your playing. Keep it up.

  • I've been forumulating a jazz version of this song in my head and you managed to essentially put all of the ideas in my head into your song. :D

    I hope to play something like this on my Chapman Stick next Christmas.

  • Very impresive chords. Great job!

  • that was beautiful. im working on a chord melody for this song right now. this video was truely an inspiration.

  • This was really nice up to the "go RedSox" comment. Just kiddin Ken. My daughter's in College up in Boston. I really liked the chord progression on the way back to the third verse.

  • INCREDIBLE!

  • Nice rendition, Ken. Your DeAngelico warms me right up on the cold Black Friday evening. I look forward to breaking it down.

    Gotta run for now and take in some minor league hockey --The Reading Royals. We got dropped by the LA Kings and got picked up by the Bruins. Looking forward to checking out some of Boston's prospects. GO ROYALS!

  • its like he sings with his guitar..hitting all those notes:) awesome!

  • nice bro..any tips on playing jazz guitar? thanks..

  • You can change the chords to match the melody for instance if the progression has a 7th in it, you can replace it with a 9th, 11th or 13th or whatever to achieve the melody you are going for.

  • very nice, well done.

  • I loved it *****^ :~)

  • really enjoyed your balance of chords and straight melody... nice arrangement!

  • gotta love the facial expressions. awesome job

  • Love all your half cords...beautifully played

    Thanks for the inspirations...

  • Very nice, sir! Merry Christmas, Great arrangement.

  • Beautiful voiceing and smooth sound. If you dont mind what arrangement are you playing? Thank You and Happy holidays

  • awesome !!! For all those wanting tabs - just figure it out.... it'll be time consuming, and your ears will guide you. I've gotten so far as :30 seconds right now....awesome chords

  • beautiful

  • dude you have a moral obligation to tab this because I wanna learn it for crimbo! now get to work

  • what kind of guitar is it?

  • tabs please :) can beginner learn this piece?

  • no. this kind of stuff takes years to understand, which like or not is whats essential to playing a piece like this and tabs won't get you past a very beginner status.

  • That is so sexy man when u just stuck on the one chord and kept that one common tone at the top... so tastful

  • Love the outro! So damn smooth!

  • Wowwy! 1:49 I love it man!
