With Christmas right around the corner, we\u2019re going to take a look at a classic. White<br \/>\nChristmas is a great song to learn on the acoustic guitar because it can be boiled down into just a few open<br \/>\nchords. In this lesson, we\u2019ll begin by learning a beginner version of the song before graduating into a more<br \/>\nintermediate version with a few complex chord shapes.<\/p>\n<p>Start off by pulling up the sheet music for whichever version you\u2019d like to learn. If you\u2019re new to the guitar,<br \/>\nyou\u2019ll want to focus on the beginner version. There are a couple of chords in there that might prove<br \/>\nchallenging, but with the simple strumming pattern, this is a great opportunity to test yourself a bit.<\/p>\n<p>For the intermediate and advanced players, you\u2019ll want to skip to the intermediate part of the video. There,<br \/>\nwe\u2019ll dive into some jazzy chords that really add spice to the basic structure of the song. Remember to take it<br \/>\nslow and focus on mastering the new chord shapes first before trying to put it all together. Good luck and Merry<br \/>\nChristmas!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download Resources It\u2019s that time of year!
