Thanks, Bernd. Yeah, I've always loved the Vince Guaraldi take on this old chestnut. Never get tired of that. cheers. Have a Merry and a Happy as well.
I've heard and loved this every year for 40 years in the Charlie Brown Christmas program on TV, but I've never seen or heard it performed, and I never enjoyed it more than right now.
Oh how Id love to be able to do what you are doing here...play and makeing your own rhythm while you pick out the melody..what a great feeling that must be,,Every day I practice and I think "Im better than I was last year, but still Im not good enough to say that Im good," So Im going to keep working on Stefan Grossmans Fingerpicking DVD, Dear Prudence abd Blackbird and pick up knowledge everywhere I can and hopefully I can get good like you sir,,Merry X-mas!
Cool! "A Charlie Brown Christmas" of my favourite Christmas albums to listen to on the holidays. You do a great version and with the "Hark the Hearld..." quote, excellent as always. Merry Christmas, Tony.
I get weary of hearing the same old carols churned out year after year and usually avoid them, like the plague, but I figured your rendition would be worth listening to... I was right... so, thank you :-)
Your play always wonderful. I like Christmas song you play, especially this song and 'Christmas time is here'. When I listen to them, it makes me play guitar. I wish I play like you! Merry Christmas!
Hearing someone say "I loather Christmas" is sad. Here's to hoping you can find the joy and peace it brings to so many at some point in your life, friend.
Wow, loved that version. This is just a song I get tired of singing but in this guitar version you opend my eyes/ears again. Thanks a lot, Toni. Have a merry christmas and a great 2009 with lots of wonderful guitar music of yours. And many thakns for this inspiring year, -Bernd
yeah every year I come back to revisit this masterpiece.. bravo
I learned it straight from listening to Vince Guaraldi's jazz trio version. thanks.
no tab, and learned by ear?...wow....disappointing to the rest of us who would *love* the tab, lol!!.....your version is the best I've heard!.period.
Very professional!

I love your playing. One of the highlights of the holiday season is listening to your fine guitar work.
thanks for the comment. cheers.
thanks. and thanks for all the comments.
If I still lived in Boston I'd be begging you for lessons!
Excellent! Does anybody know where I could find the tab for this?
Made my own, by ear….and slowing down the video….looks terrible, but works for me, lol.
@kevinwatkins3856 any chance you could share the tab you made? I've wanted to play this song for years!
@@WDCLawyerUSE YOUR EYES AND MORE IMPORTANTLY your EARS. If you really want to learn the song that’s what you’ll do. You’ll even benefit from it!
I've heard and loved this every year for 40 years in the Charlie Brown Christmas program on TV, but I've never seen or heard it performed, and I never enjoyed it more than right now.
