What Child is This (Greensleeves) - Christmas Guitar Solos

[BostonRocker51]

what kind of guitar is that? I love the fretboard inlays. Thanks for posting this - very well done!

[11mouadsahel1]

give me the tabs plezzzzz

[MrFreesafety20]

this was kind of cool

[LordBraembes]

it's not a christmas song, it's a love song ... played by Henry VIII for Anne Boleyn.

[CloudCovers]

@LordBraembes A love song? Greensleeves is about prostitutes, and the name greensleeves represents a lady who would roll around the grass, you know. I'm not saying he didn't, but I would not play it to someone who knew what it meant o.o

[elfhermie]

@LordBraembes It is too a Christmas song. The music was used for What Child Is This. Just like Elvis used another songs tune for Love Me Tender and Vanilla Ice used Under Pressure for Ice Ice Baby. And as is often the case, the second song has gained more meaning and popularity to many than the first.

[McPhersonBassMaster]

@LordBraembes

It wasn't written or played by Henry VIII, that's a common misconception. It was based off of an italian style that didn't come to England until after Henry VIII died. Although, to cloud, it is not about prostitutes-it is a love song. And yes, they did take the melody and change the Lyrics to make it a Christmas song.

[xROFLawsonx]

You need the Francis Cutting part!

[cheetofacedon]

would sound awsume on a lute!!

[HolandesFrito]

Epiphone sound is awesome.

[marknano]

Great video! The plucking is a little too advanced for me though. I will practice some more. Thanks!

[opryhopeful]

I have to say that I have seen many teachers on here, but very few slow down the lessons for the students like you have on here. These are just the arrangements I have been looking for.  I am going to learn a few of your christmas songs for church. Thanks for being such a wonderful teacher. GOD Bless.

P.S. You are an absolutely great singer too.

[AnTnStyLe]

Its awesome...This is my first video also on YouTube with sax. check it out

[43melody]

We all come to these sites to learn something new not to be insulted and swore at . I had a child hood of this dont need it from you . Please show respect on public sites and allow us all to learn in our own way and thanks to the artist sharing thier talents with us

[TeachingsofEvil]

@43melody fuck you go choke on a dirty dick

[horsley02]

@TeachingsofEvil that infuses me with Christmas spirit, right thurr.

[adaltona]

Yes you is awesome

[kirk45hammett]

[claudioisea123]

[timlyg]

Tabs link down

[tommerrigan1956]

Where's Ringo??

[MarinaDCsk8]

another idiot, WE NEED TO SE YOUR RIGTH HAND TO LEARN DE SONG, I JUST CANT GUESS THAT PART

[QuickAtTheKeys]

@MarinaDCsk8

um....dumb bumb.....did you watch the whole thing?? maybe if you were patient enough to watch the whole video you would see the right hand...don't be yellin' at annybody but yourself...

[MrChimpy134]

it shows her right hand dumb ass watch the whole video next time shithole

[kidrocker81]

i know we cant guess

[Gingerjake2]

If you play as good as you spell, does it matter if you can see her right hand or not? It would be wasted on you anyway.

Try watching the *entire* video instead of just jumping on the first few seconds.

[Vanguard448]

@MarinaDCsk8 Hi. Just thought that I'd give you a heads-up about something that could be of great use to you. It's called 'patience' and it's really simple to use; all you have to do is watch the video the whole way through before you waste bandwidth on a stupid comment.

[QuickAtTheKeys]

your fingers that pluck make me feel soo sleepy in a good way..they r very gracefull when i was little my dad used to play this for me every night when I went to bed...that was sooo beautiful thank you for posting....

[bruce2keri]

Great Video I also like this version!

[bruce2keri]

God Bless you, poopyscoopy5 I hope you have a little more love in your heart after you got the negativeness out. Happy Holiday

[Viguy]

Excellent version..... thanks for putting the video together.

[jipidibipity]

great job! from one guitarist to another....

[AlPrindle]

Very nice and ignore the negative comments. great job and don't worry about the thumb strangling the neck with the left thumb. Try playing some of the old roots blues without doing that. On top of that look at some of the top players in the world they also use the same thumb position and only lower when needed. The people that will tell you it is the wrong way is the ones that were trained in classical or in the classic way. What ever works is my thought.

[lovedapizza]

i think its lovely and i whould ignore all the hateful and jumentle coments dear. cuse music is a art and it will be wxspreset how you want it to be.. though strings or a brush its still beautaful

[poopyscoopy5]

I love how people try to sell shit that isn't theirs. A real musician probably showed you this, you didn't write it, you don't make guitars, all you do is play for a hobby. You shouldn;t be selling this tab ya fucking jew.

[guitarer09]

And a person with brains would actually consider the fact that maybe the musician did write the song, in their own way. A hobbyist guitarist IS a musician. Better than half of the musicians don't make guitars. And anyone who calls someone a "jew" like it's a derogatory term has got to have the mental capacity of a pile of...well...poopy, if you catch my drift.

[lovedapizza]

ever mind the rule of three three times what you give returns to you this is a leson you must lern you only get what you do earn. this is a warning of heed.

ps. i love how ass holes like you like to leave coments trying to make your selfs feal better by leaveing nasty coments. dont give out shit. its brings nothing but pain and theres no since in hate.

^o^ have a nice day.....

[mrsmith1150]

@poopyscoopy5 - Obviously you are an alien from the planet Idiot.....watch people around you, how they act and behave, and then try to be a little more human.

[PhantomPlayland]

Nice! I recently made my own arrangement of "Greensleeves", but I like yours better.

[Redcincy7]

Best of all the videos on this piece. Great Job!

[Redcincy7]

After watching a dozen videos of this piece in order to find alternate styles from my own lije yours the best. Very Nice!

[GianneVersace]

Can I please get the tabs for this?

[PuYanHui]

sounds like an excuse for carpal tunnel... you can palm mute you know. The rest is great. I just hate vids like this because noobs see it and do likewise...

She has nice hands though. :-)

[PuYanHui]

I love the tone... but as a fellow guitarist I have to say that that thumb of hers needs work. the left hand thumb. She's strangling the neck. The fingers need to be free to move and thats best accomplished when the thumb is at the center of the neck. The modified fingerstyle claw she employs is fine I guess but i wonder if some of the tone is muffled by how her arm drapes over the guitar.

[JoelPlaysGuitar]

lol, what are you talking about its perfectly fine, her thumb is there so she can mute the E string. It doesn't effect the sound at all

[Aerosmith589]

No doubt one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

[fahed79]

i would love to hear you play "scarborough fair" :)

[darkahnubis]

i don't even know why or how this ended up being a "christmas". i'm just gonna stick to what i believe in and say that this was written about or for King Arthur and this girl he knew with "greensleeves".

[Larrymarx]

Beautiful....

[gioran23]

this song is sad christmas of no gifts or presents....

[jongoodyear]

ok how did you get onto the topic of the 2008 presidential election by watching a music clip.epitomeofblastfemy orwhatever,how can u sit there and type stupid christians whe this is one of the most christian songs ever wrote if anything ur the "f'ing poser"

[fuckchristmas]

greensleeves is not a christian song. it's a traditional english ballad. and was written in the 1500s. what child is this wasn't even written and set to the tune of greensleeves until the mid 1800s. you ig'nant.

[coredseekwents]

Georgeorgeorgeorge,

it never ends, i feel incomplete

[Mandi129124]

EpitomeOfBlasphemy

Okay, first of all, whoever wrote "What Child is This?" is an f'ing poser....You don't just steal a melody and write different words to it...Stupid Christians.

your a moron!

[EpitomeOfBlasphemy]

Okay, first of all, whoever wrote "What Child is This?" is an f'ing poser....You don't just steal a melody and write different words to it...Stupid Christians.

[Sternoproductions]

racism

no more drama

i voted for obama

[sup1345]

i voted mccain, does that make me racist? i say ur racist for voting obama because you're soo worried about what color you are

[InKa4484]

I didn't vote and the fact that you and sternoproductions don't know what racism is, is scary.

[EpitomeOfBlasphemy]

First of all, everyone is racist on some form or another. And secondly, if I were legally permitted to, I would have voted for Obama. However, that'll have to wait until 2012.

[stocktonmiller110]

you need to cool your pantys buddy

[Danielitotop]

Beutiful Song !!!

There are many ways of play

this, but all are very cool.

Thanks Lisa McCormick.

[kirk45hammett]

[ociovicioso]

[x11musickk]

What child is this, who, laid to rest

On Mary's lap, is sleeping?

Whom angels greet with voices sweet,

While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King,

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:

Haste, haste to bring him praise,

The Babe, the Son of Mary!

[x11musickk]

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,

Come peasant king to praise Him,

The King of kings, of glory brings,

Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

Raise, raise the song on high,

(Let singing fume) the earth and sky

Joy, joy, for Christ is born,

The Babe, the Son of Mary!

[x11musickk]

What child is this, who, laid to rest

On Mary's lap, is sleeping?

Whom angels greet with voices sweet,

While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King,

Whom shepherds watch and angels sing:

Haste, Haste to bring him grace

The Babe, the Son of Mary!
