Questions
What is the easiest Christmas song on guitar?
Auld Lang Syne and Joy to the World need only 3 chords each: C, G7 and F and D, A7 and G.
Why are there no words?
The pages give the chords bar by bar, with each part named (verse, chorus), so you can play along with any version and any words you know. Press Play to hear where each chord comes.
Can I play these in another key?
Yes. Each carol has a Key menu, and the chords change with it. Or keep the easy shapes and move them up with a capo: the capo chart shows where.
Also: the strumming patterns, the four chord song, the Charlie Brown Christmas chord and the Christmas songs on ukulele.
