Default Fingerpicking Classic Christmas Tunes

I recorded these 12 Christmas songs a few years ago on my Seagull Artist acoustic guitar recorded into my Yamaha AW16g recorder.

Good assortment. Did you learn from a book or arrange yourself? I've been working through a bunch of Christmas tunes, but it would be nice if there were a book available that I knew had good arrangements.

I think I might have just mentioned this in another post, but I am very fond of CAROLS FOR GUITAR by John Duarte. The arrangements are very tasteful and traditional. What is also nice is that they are very accessible to anyone that is not a rank beginner. I'm kind of lazy, and don't want to spend a lot of time on music only for the holidays. The texture is a bit thin, but I find experimenting with a capo anywhere between the 1st and 5th fret really lets the guitar compliment the texture. It's also a good way to get more key variety so that the pieces don't start to sound alike.

Nice playing, Daniel. Those are good arrangements, too.
