"Christmas Time is Here" Vince Guaraldi, (Charlie Brown Christmas - Rob Bourassa

Vince Guaraldi was one of my favorite musicians of all time. The guitar can never compare to the piano in richness of tone, but I thought I would do this tune. Tis the season.

This is a Christmas card to my guitar maker, Gary Zimnicki, my favorite guitar builder in the world.

Great stuff! Just watched "A Charlie Brown Christmas" again last night and enjoyed the "original" version of this. Thanks for the wonderful cover.

@GwenEams Charles and Vince made one of the greatest little TV specials in history with that. Epic in every way.

Hey man, what amp are you using? Sounds really nice and is very clean

[robbourassaguitarist]

@jazzking66 Thank you. The sound is pretty much the guitar. It is the spruce top, which is very old, and very thinly built. I am using an Avalon VT737sp pre-amp right into the board.

tabs PLZ!

[robbourassaguitarist]

@RussellJoshuaQuiazon Sorry, I never use tab, and I never play things the same way twice. I just don't have the discipline or time to make myself do that. I do have a couple of video series that if practiced, will help you figure out simple songs like this on your own, by ear. E-mail me, and I'll give you links.
