I spoke to the Grinch yesterday and told him to check out this piece. He did and told me to pass along his admiration for your musical talent. Thank you for posting.
i love your arrangement, it's very high energy and just beautifully executed. i strive to one day be able to create my own arrangements by ear, but i still fear they won't be as flawless as yours. thank you for the entertainment.
for the love of god please make a tab for this!! please! im 14 and have been playing acoustic guitar for a year and a half, i decided i want to be a fingerstyle/classic style guitar player. and i absolutely adore this piece. from one guitarist to another, please help me and make a tab
@italianhero123 he doesnt seem like a player that works with "TAB" you can clearly hear everything and even have a good view of the fretboard. it would serve you well to put forth the time to figure it or your own interpretation of it out.
this is the best version i have found on youtube. most people seem to be performing the same "jazz" version that must have a TAB circulating. This is spot on and represents so much of the original tune on one instrument.
Can you PLEEAASSEEE make a tutorial video? You have the best cover on youtube. I want to learn it so I can be ready to perform on xmasss pllzzz thankkss!
Merry Christmas indeed!! Very fun. But that one even you couldn't make look so easy, so I don't feel so bad for my guitar that she will never sound like that!! That is very impressive. Loved it! but remember even the grinch smiled at the whos in whoville...eventually. Happy Happy Christmas!!
You make me play better. I really owe you for love of my life (listen to it folks). I'm not sure May could have done better and I'm doing YAMOMG at my show next week as an intro for the whole show. Thank you very much for caring about what you do, and making me work harder than I ever have.
please stop posting videos, every time I watch the new one, I proceed to spend the next 2 hours on you page in stead of studying for my theory final!!!
In all seriousness nice work, pure brilliance as always
if you haven't already, you should write these christmas tunes out and sell them as a book of christmas songs for solo guitar. not only would you make alot of money off of it, but i bet you hal leonard would pick you up in a heartbeat.
Tony a very nice humoristic X'mas tune, I'm sure I heard it before now I hear your version,guess it must be popular in the States(not in Holland), of course very nice playing and good arrangement, check out my newest "Bright eyes" and tell me what you think,greets Vic.
Just a bit trivia info: The voice actor who recorded this song was a man named Thurls Ravencroft, who incidentally was the voice of Tony The Tiger from the Frosted Flakes commercials.
You're right, except i think you have the S in the wrong place (i think it's Thurl Ravenscroft...but who knows?). I put his name in the tags along with Boris Karloff and Dr. Seuss et cetera.
yeah, i know what you mean. but i'm not a spontaneous musician. so when an arrangement is finally finished i'm happy to get a passable version of it filmed and posted. then i can go on playing it and getting it better and possibly more loose. thanks!
You always to an excellent job with these arrangements. This one made me smile right from the start, and I hope you'll make some more arrangements for these unique Christmas songs... maybe try to do one for Heat Miser if possible? xD
Wonderful! Any chance of sharing some tablature of this?
