How to Play "Happy Xmas" By John Lennon - Easy Guitar Song!
Added 2017-12-20 22:35:12 +0000 UTCHello friends,
and welcome to a special holiday addition to my By Request Song Tutorials. In today's session I'll be showing you how to play John Lennon's 1972 classic "Happy Xmas (War is Over)." This is a fantastic song for beginner and intermediate level players to check out, because it teaches many of the common variations that can be applied to basic chords. There are just two sections and a single strumming pattern to this song, a verse and chorus section that repeats throughout the track. Let's get started!
Note: New chord sheet, tab and guitar pro have now been added to this resource.
