[stringbender57]

Bravo! It is not even Christmas but darn I enjoyed that. It's my favorite Christmas song. Nice smooth vocal and guitar and a million dollar smile to boot. You are a true pro! Thanks for sharing!

[willyleeman]

Great arrangement, and also beautiful playing and singing. I'm now in the middle of the second of your four instruction videos for this song, and I can't believe I'm actually playing all these jazz chords and rhythm. I'm looking forward to learning the rest of the song. You are not only a great musician, but a teacher as well. Thanks for sharing some of your knowledge.

[bulkbreak]

very nice.. wow :)

[vanillabear05]

This is such a great song. thanks for this man. i did all the lessons and i'm gonna play it with my brother singing on christmas day. thanks ever so much and good luck with future songs.

[JimKeyes1]

Thanks for letting me know. I'm so happy you learned them all. I hope you had a nice Christmas.

[danthemusicman123]

Oi !!! jazz master !!!

another great, successful song!!

but dude! that blue guitar (if it is a guitar) in the corner of your studio. what is it. is it acoustic? electric? alive? In your next video, your gonna have 2 show it for a second. please!!

[JimKeyes1]

It's a resonator guitar (also called a dobro). I use it for slide playing and for outdoor gigs (it's made of plywood and steel so it's more or less indestructable). Maybe I'll post a video playing it.

[danthemusicman123]

yeah that'll be cool

[kipper0633]

You're fantastic! I'm trying to learn this song, but those chord changes are too fast for me!

And that guitar sounds ace!
