I'll Be Home for Christmas, for classical guitar

One of the great Christmas songs, written in 1943 by Kim Gannon and Walter Kent. This is an easy - and very good - arrangement in a book called "Fingerpicking Yuletide." (Hal Leonard Publisher.) (notes and tablature) The recordings of this song became very popular in 1943, according to Wikipedia. Sorry for the bad recording sound - the Rode Videomic isn't good for music recording - I now have a much better microphone - the Rode NT4.

Very pretty. What are the chords your playing? I've been playing awhile and want to start playing more classical. I'm in the holiday spirit and would love to learn how to play that song the way you are. Thanks and Happy Holidays! :)

Hi, and thanks for your kind words. This is one of my all-time favorite songs. I don't play chords - I know only a few. The arrangement is very easy, in a book called "Fingerpicking Yuletide." It has the notes and tablature. Your library might have a copy of the book - it's also for sale now on Amazon Books for only $ 9.99. That's where I got it.

Best regards,

Philip
