The Holiday Gig Book
71 holiday carols for solo classical and fingerstyle guitar.
Most tunes start with an easy-to-read beginner arrangement for students and last-minute gigs, then progress to intermediate settings that use techniques such as tremolo, jazz voicings, and three-voice counterpoint.
The spiral-bound book uses standard notation with suggested left-hand fingering. The landscape layout keeps each arrangement in view without a page turn and leaves room for a clip-on light on a music stand.
