The Justin Guitar: Christmas Songbook is a festive collection of 21 classic and contemporary Christmas songs an accompaniment to the world-famous justinguitar.com courses and the perfect book for all guitar players who want to progress beyond beginner level. The book begins with easy, ‘play on Christmas day’ songs, before progressing to tunes you could learn in December and then onto material that might benefit from a November start.

Each song is presented as lyrics and chords, accompanied by performance tips and strumming patterns, often with tablature and chord diagrams to help you through any tricky bits. In addition, there are six arrangements written out in full TAB!

With traditional favourites such as ‘Jingle Bells’ and ‘Silent Night’, jazzy numbers like ‘Winter Wonderland’ and pop classics including ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ and Slade’s ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’, this is the ultimate Christmas songbook for beginner guitarists!
