  10. Great stuff! This was the first thing I checked out (seasonal and all) after subscribing, and noticed there’s a slight error in the second half of the second bar. I assume the tab is just meant to be a rough guide? 🙂

  13. Brian, you turned a timely holiday piece into a great lessson on chord voicings and finding the melody around chords. Love the countrified embellishments. I find new things to add to my bag of tricks every week. Great lesson as usual.

  15. A truly beautiful rendition of this carol, Brian. I am still persevering with pieces from some of your previous lessons, but as soon as I listened to this week’s,, I felt I just had to put the other stuff to one side, pick up my guitar, and try to master this, firstly on my acoustic , before plugging in my Strat . Thanks Brian a really great idea for a lesson at this time of year. Best wishes.

  27. Well played, Brian (as always). Very cool arrangement. I’ll get this nailed in a week and then add some extra bits and pieces thereafter. Thanks for the hard word you put in these lessons. Merry Christmas and Happy 2016!

  30. Very nice rendition Brian. That made my Christmas . Ill be practicing this song this season. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
    I learned how to use the tab slow down on the link to large screen. Very cool. I tell people about activemelody all the time. Thanks for such wonderfull lessons.

  32. Wow… Brian. You have taken one of my favorite songs ever and given it an arrangement that, with a little work, I might be able to learn. Thanks for a terrific website and all the great material

  33. Really enjoyed learning this, I started using the electric but moved onto the accoustic with a little reverb and a tiny touch of tremolo and the sound of those chords are awesome.
    Brilliant version and one I will play regularly.
    Many Thanks 🙂

  37. Hi Brian, I really do enjoy listening to you, I have learned so much and I do appreciate what you do. Would you work up a Christmas song for us? I have been wanting to play O Holy Night so whatever you can come up with would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and keep up the great work. Mike M

  39. Love this rendition. Have been working on it for over a week now and am getting it all done but still in slow mode. Just been playing little more than a year now and have learned so much from you. Love your finger by finger instructions. Still don’t understand all the scales, I just follow your instructions and play. Would love to learn Oh Holy Night….hint..hint. Thank you for your dedication to all of us. Merry Christmas Brian!!

  40. Truly one of the most beautiful and appreciated lessons, Brian, BUT—- could you please re-do it without the cheesy pedal effects? A pure tone with a tiny bit of reverb would sound so much better—–
