True thatâs a misconception because they spend a lot of time in their dens playing guitar

I donât want to cause a panic but it is 78 days to Christmas.
78 days left to learn a christmas song
maybe we can have a open mic party on a christmas theme or a thread where people posts their recordings of christmas songs

Itâs okay, in my working life a certain New Yearâs Eve preparation started in JanuaryâŚjust start quietly today, learn 1 half or full bar every day or every weekâŚI have one of those too to start now for next year (I said that last year too)
And to my horror I discovered yesterday that i forgot âWe wish you a merry christmas (easy styly)â which I was supposed to finish last year, let alone the difficult fingerstyle variant of that version. 
.So
Ooo, donât even start about it, there are currently 16 tabs open on my screen and 4 are Blim relatedâŚalthough I see those things a little differently because âBoom Bass with licksâ may also be included⌠I wonât mention the rest 
You havenât learned a nice song in 2 months (most of us)âŚStart now or youâll miss the best of Christmas again this year 
Greetings 
So Iâm practicing this again now ButâŚ

Before you posted it a while ago (other lesson) I had also thought about it sporadically, but because you posted it I can now only think of that kangaroo with that shining thing in his hands/ legs ⌠with you in my head (shoot me ) âŚ
Happy Christmas

Rogier. I donât think I have enough Christmases left to get that jazzy version down! The problem with Christmas songs is you can only play them for a few weeks every year. Not a good practise/performance balance.
Iâll stick to the basic strum-a-dum version with some more basic chords.

I only play Justinâs most âsimpleâ suggestions from that version,
And I understand that for the short period that it is playable, the effort is not really worth it⌠let alone that my wife really doesnât want to hear it anymore after 3 or 4 times and practicing is now allowed even if she is not there 
But but but ⌠she makes an exception for the Elvis version (it really doesnât sound like a Christmas song) and she also liked the intro of this jazz version last year and she does not associate it with Christmas without singing⌠
But Iâm looking forward to
again in 2 months 
Greetings

Haha, I remember being slightly surprised that no one âtook the baitâ on that one 
Perhaps your resurrecting it, will lead to âoff-colour-etiquetteâ and this untimely thread being closed down till December?

I ordered Justinâs Christmas songbook last week but it wonât be here till the first week of December! In the meantime Iâm practicing Jingle Bells and Silent Night from the App. Oddly, JBs is giving me fits, I just canât keep the chord progression straight!
