This one is built as a duet with mandolin, but also able to be played solo. In E minor, this old melody is one of the prettiest Christmas tunes there is, and this intermediate version presents it just right!

Duet Key of E minor fingerstyle

    I keep losing the timing when I add the backup. Does anyone count this out loud or is that just me?

    Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

    Memorization comes from playing it at a tempo you can think at. If you need the tab, you're playing it faster than you know it.
