...okay, it's mostly PSG, but there is a Stringmaster too!

Here's a medley of three Christmas tunes. The first two I played on my old Emmons (God Rest You, Joy To the World) and the third one on the Stringmaster (Silver Bells). I have tablature for these arrangements in my song books.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to all Forum members!

Great sounds! The Christmas repetoire works so well on steel guitar, and they are so much fun to play. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen rocks!

Thanks guys, yes Christmas songs sound good on steel guitar. A lot of them have interesting chord patterns and melodies. I sometimes feel like I never learn them as well as I should though because we only play them in December. By the time I've learned them well... it's time to pack them away for another 11 months!

Merry Christmas

So True Doug. I took a two month break from my steel guitars but the Christmas spirit overtook me and I started back in with some Christmas tunes to dust off the cobwebs.

Doug, your playin is inspirational as usual. Smile
