The pieces contained in this book are those featuring the guitar on the recording A Scottish Christmas. Keeping in mind the beauty of the original melodies, the arrangements were made simple so that the melodies would stand out. In notation and tablature.

This is a fingerstyle arrangement of an old popular Christmas song.
I arranged it into fingerstyle music with warm tones.
Since it's very easy to play, it will be suitable for beginners of fingerstyle guitar.

History:

"A Holly Jolly Christmas" was written by Johnny Marks in 1962. The song was re-recorded by Burls Ives and released in 1964 as a single and later featured the following year in his 1965 holiday album, Have a Holly Jolly Christmas. It features an acoustic guitar solo introduction; it is this version that has since become the more commonly heard rendition on radio. It is also the version this guitar arrangement is based on.

About:

The arrangement presented in this edition is for solo guitar in Fingerstyle/Classical guitar style. The score remains extremely faithful to the original melody but with some pleasant additions such as a fun little jazz ending twist, an inspired blues lick (based on Burls Ives' famous recording) opening and closing the piece. The arrangement is as idiomatic as can be for the guitar. No details have been left out and the score is made with lots of care.

This piece is a perfect choice for early intermediate and intermediate guitarists, and especially for students that are playing in a Christmas recital. The score includes Notation, Notation & Tablature and Chords!

? Great Versatility : Notation, Tablature and Chords included!

? Faithful to Burls Ives' famous recording of the piece, but with added

? This version is arranged for a "Fingerstyle/Classical" type of playing!

? Features two sections where the melody is in a bass for more variety and contrast!
