In this Holiday guitar lesson, we'll be learning how to play three easy Christmas songs on the guitar with only three open chords. Christmas songs are a great way to get into learning songs because they tend to be fairly simple and straightforward.

The three songs you'll learn how to play are Away In A Manger, Silent Night, and Joy To The World. For all three songs, we'll be using the G major, C major, and D major open chords. And we'll cover how to play these songs using both strumming and fingerpicking.
