Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly

Here is my little Christmas offering, Deck the Halls wih Boughs of Holly. I found this arrangement in a book by the late Michael Raven (http://www.michaelraven.co.uk/). I have several of his books, and I often go back to them as they remind me of my early fingerstyle days. According to Michael Raven Deck the Halls is an old Welsh harp tune. Though you can't actually see me play (I'm not Father Christmas), I do play a Classical guitar made by Manuel Rodríguez Jr.. The nylon strings are not brand new, unfortunately, but how about new strings for Christmas? The tuning is Standard tuning. Merry Christmas and a Happy NewTube.

FABulous, Finn!

It really does sound like two guitars - in fact, it must be two guitars (is that why you didn't film yourself playing ;o)

Happy Christmas!

Sharon.

Hi Shaun

Nice to hear from you - and season's greetings to you, too. The classical guitar hasn't been lying idle, but this Christmas carol was an impulse of the moment, so I didn't take time to change strings.

Chers

Finn Jackie
