Having seen a few requests recently for Christmassy tablature, I sat
down a couple of nights ago to see if I could write anything suitable.
So here is my very own arrangement of WHITE CHRISTMAS.
It`s supposed to be played with a rather laid back, jazzy feel (hence all
the triplets!) and it`s not especially difficult to play - I`m by no
means a fabulous guitarist!
Here goes then. I think it`s okay, but I`m just printing it off to take
home and play through to make sure. Any amendments will be posted
tomorrow!
