About This Collection – Easy Level: Melody + Bass Notes + Common Chord Shapes. These are basically just the melody with the bass note of the chords added and a few added chords here and there. These easy Christmas arrangements are for late-beginner or intermediate guitarists looking for sight-readable songs for the holiday season. I’ve added the lyrics and chords to make them as useful as possible in group or family settings if singing occurs. More advanced guitarists may wish to improvise or work-out intros and extra accompaniment. Otherwise, the arrangements are simple melodies plus bass notes and some filling out of common first position chords.

  1. Hello, Professor Bradford! It is wonderful work creating a collection of Christmas songs for beginners, amazing. I’m excited to learn them and will be purchasing the collection soon (once I’ve made a bit more progress with Method Book 1…). Looking at the list of songs you chose, I was curious why you didn’t include “Carol of the Bells.” Is that song much more difficult than the others in the collection? Thank you.

    • You can play the melodies in the book anytime but if you want to play the full arrangement I would wait until you are finished Volume 2 method. Carol of the Bells would be a great edition to the collection. Maybe I’ll make a separate score for this year.

  2. Dear Mr. Bradford Werner,
    I am from India and would like to buy your Christmas songs volume 1 to 4. Kindly help me how can I purchase tab sheets.
    Thanks You,
    Emmanuel Prince
