While I think you did fantastic with the left hand, I felt I need more comments on the right hand. You are a great instructor and I appreciate your time. I will be looking at your website.Thank You

[jojojosmart]

[lvanhulst]

mjc8459, I've been trying to do this song ever since a week ago for my grandma too. I wasn't looking up any tabs because they are too complicated. Anyway, thanks Kevin for the great video. My grandma will love it!

[Jumper848able]

Very nice Kev.

The power tab links for this and Merry Little Christmas seem to be broken at the moment :(

[ToiletpaperToxic]

[kevjohnson77]

Just click the "resources" tab near the top of my site. You'll find the tabs on that page.

[mjc8459]

[ghostlypirate]

hey kevin, what did you mean by PM.... because i really like this tab and would love to get a hold of it.

[kevjohnson77]

Hi ghostlypirate. PM means private message. You can do that by going to somebody's channel and clicking the "send message" link.

However, I have finally put the tab back up on my website, so you should be able to download it from there now. :o) Let me know if you have any trouble.

[assassinspharaoh]

PM = private message

[louischama]

Good job Kevin. Thanx

[ChocolateMonkeyFish]

I hope the website is gonna be up soon! I wanna really learn this.

[kevjohnson77]

Hi, ChocolateMonkeyFish. Great name!

The site is up now, but the links to the tab files aren't working for some reason. Working on that. But meanwhile, if you'd like the tab file, just PM me about it, and I'll be happy to email the file to you. :o)

[yasahiro86]

wow !!!

[64DockT3K]

when is ur website gonna be back up?

[kevjohnson77]

Hi 64Dock. It's up now, but the links aren't working for the tab files, for some odd reason. If you'd like the tab file, just PM me about it and I'll be glad to email the file to you.

[porkyo123]

[kevjohnson77]

Hi Oman. If you click "more info" in the description box you will find a link to the tabs on my website.  You'll find it there in 3 different file formats. Hope that helps.

[lalalalal666]

Great!! Hopefully i'll be able to play this by christmas :)

Thank you & Merry Christmas!

[wearymvn]

Nice version

But too tough for a beginner (like me)

Maybe I can play this next year

Merry Christmas...

[jameswp1946]

Thats a lovely version. Thanks for posting and thanks for the tab.

[bdanford]

Thanks so much for the tab I had figured everything out except for the chord section. Excellent arrangement - sounds beautiful!

[Splattisen]

thank u very much, have a great christmas:)!

[cyngot]

Kevin: Thanks for posting the tabs. Excellent version, nicely played. Well taught, regardless of what cawonmead says. I figure another 2 or 3 hundred stabs at it and I will have it licked. I am self-taught, and am trying to retrain some bad technique glitches in my fingering, but I am sure practice will win out. Generous folks like yourself help immensely.

[cawonmead]

oh ny god ur shit,take a break mate,dont get me wrong ur good but think about the real learnears,remember at school...a.b..c..d ..e..f...g?

[kevjohnson77]

Yes, I remember the alphabet. Thanks. (your spelling suggests you might need a second look at that alphabet yourself)

Could you be more specific? If you see an area where I need improvement, please point it out. I'm always wanting to learn more. Explain what makes you say that I'm "shit", and I'll certainly take the time to work on it...but you have to tell me where my problem is.

[dgrm814]

Nice arrangement. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to solo guitar arrangement of Christmas songs - this one's nice and simple with a bit of flair. Just right. I'm transcribing from your video, but it sure would be nice if you could get around to posting the tab (hint, hint). Christmas is just around the corner you know.

[kevjohnson77]

Thanks! And I just uploaded that tab. Look in the description for the link.

[dpvistaz]

did you upload the tab, by any chance? It would be helpful :) Thanks for the video!

[kevjohnson77]

I finally uploaded the tab. Sorry it took so long. :o)

[cttcdtsmom]

cool

[JBorrie]

I'm lost to!

[jcpatrick]

It would help immensely if you would show the finger picking of your right hand.

[kuntree2k1]

im a begginer....AND im LOST

[tyetyelovesu]

how are u using your right hand

[kevjohnson77]

My right hand technique is the traditional classical guitar technique. The over-simplified explanation is this: Thumb covers the bass strings and the fingers (not including the pinky) cover the treble strings. Keep your right hand stable and relaxed. Let the fingers do all the work. Fingers should come across the strings at an angle, not perpendicular (better tone and control that way).

[tyetyelovesu]

thx your great

[tyetyelovesu]

great tutorial but i can't find your tabs for this song 5*

[kevjohnson77]

Thanks. Yeah, I never got the tabs up for this one. I had technical problems with it, and never got around to the second attempt. I will get to it soon.
