In this collection John Miller has put together arrangements of twenty such songs designed to appeal to guitarists with a wide range of fingerstyle skill and experience. What a range of expressions and moods these songs communicate! From the ancient-sounding O Come, O Come Emmanuel to the high spirits of Deck the Halls, the uplifting quality of Go Tell It on the Mountain and the serenity of Silent Night, youll find it all here. The arrangements also cover a lot of ground in terms of the keys and tunings. Youll be playing pieces in C, A, A minor, D, D minor, G, and B minor in standard tuning; D and A minor in dropped-D tuning and four in Open G tuning.

All of the arrangements are notated in standard notation and tablature, and links to downloadable sound samples of the arrangements are provided so that youll be able to hear how the arrangements sound when played. Lyrics for the songs are provided, too, along with: An explanation of the TAB used in the book Guidance on how to go about selecting and learning the arrangements Playing tips that describe the most efficient ways to finger the songs in the fretting hand An appendix, which offers diagrams indicating fingering for the chord shapes youll encounter most often in the book.
