By Dan Dresnok

One Book. Two Ways to Play. The Ultimate Holiday Collection for Every Guitarist.

Stop struggling with arrangements that are either too easy or too hard. 20 Christmas Songs for the Curious Guitarist features a unique Dual-Arrangement System designed to take you from a basic melody player to a solo fingerstyle performer.

Whether you are performing at a family gathering, playing a holiday recital, or just enjoying the carols by the fire, professional educator Dan Dresnok provides the perfect roadmap for all 20 classic songs.

The Dual-Arrangement Advantage:

The Basic Arrangement: Perfect for beginners. Focuses on the single-note vocal melody with standard notation, tabs, and chord symbols. Ideal for lead playing, accompanying a singer, or student-teacher duets.

The Full Arrangement: Designed for intermediate to advanced players. These "Chord Melody" versions combine melody and harmony into a single, lush solo piece. No singer or backing track required.

20 Beloved Carols Included: From the haunting beauty of O Holy Night and Silent Night to the upbeat energy of Jingle Bells and Deck the Halls, you'll have a complete repertoire at your fingertips. (Includes: What Child Is This, We Three Kings, Auld Lang Syne, and 14 more )

Professional Technical Features:

Clear Notation & Tab: Every song is presented in both standard sheet music and easy-to-read guitar tablature.

Theory Review: Includes a helpful guide on time signatures and roadmap signs (repeats, endings) to ensure a flawless performance.

Universal Compatibility: Arrangements work perfectly for Acoustic, Electric, or Classical (nylon string) guitars.
