Really great vocal and tidy strumming Dave. The song is made for your register.

I’ve really enjoyed listening to all the submissions so far this year! Sorry I haven’t commented on everything, but I’ve made time to listen to them and must say I find you all extremely inspiring! :slight_smile:

It’s been a busy month for me, but I did find some time to practice ā€œLast Christmas,ā€ and can manage to play through the whole thing with only a few fumbled chord changes, so I wanted to share my rendition. This is my first AVOYP, and I think I may need to do some adjustments to my setup in future videos. But not bad for my first, and I don’t feel too afraid to share it, so here you go!

Merry Christmas!

Thanks so much @Willsie and @MollyT! It’s still a bit tricky doing both the singing and playing at once, I spend a lot of time thinking about it! :slight_smile:

I’’m a little late to this party, but I just recorded this today to see if I could sing What Child Is This to Justin’s chord melody arrangement 0f Greensleeves:

I got this after 18 takes today :slight_smile: I know that the purpose of chord melody is to include the melody so you don’t have to sing. I just wanted to challenge myself :grinning_face:

@Ontime Thanks very much! I didn’t know I had turned off comments on the video – maybe because it’s unlisted? But I appreciate your comments here. :slight_smile:
@witkatz Thank you, I do enjoy singing, which is partly why I wanted to learn guitar! I’m glad that I come off as relaxed, because I did not feel relaxed when playing, trying to keep track of the rhythm and strumming and chord changes and singing all at once. :joy:
@GrumpyMac Thanks!! I actually transposed it down a little because the recording was a bit high for me to sing comfortably. :blush:
@erionstrings @Boris1565 @beejay56 Thank you!
