surfpup Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I hate Christmas music. There, I said it. I feel better. I love Christmas, btw. I'm not a scrooge. I just hate the music. That said I actully learned Greensleeves on the acoustic a couple years ago. That was kinda cool. Sounded great on a classical. Maybe I should try to remember how to play that.

milod Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 surfpup It's been years, but as I recall, the first reference to "Greensleeves" had it as "that dirty ditty from the North Humber land." How do you figure her sleeves got green? The original referenced a ... uhhhhh ... camp follower. <grin> Actually I don't care for Christmas music much, but I've hadda play enough that I'll usually practice some a bit. Toss on a bit of chorus and you can do a fairly easy fingerstyle version of most traditional Christmas carols. A basic clawhammer works for Good King Wenceslaus, for example. I s'pose I made the error of playing some for my mom and she passed on the word so I ended up filling in for the organist a her church a number of Christmas eve services. That gets to feel a little odd since you're, in effect, leading the congregation. Sheesh. "The Christmas Song" isn't bad. A lotta saloon musicians have ended up for generations now having to learn "Jingle Bell Rock." Hmmmm. English guys - do they still do the one <cringe> Peter Paul and Mary did called "A-Soalin?" That guitar thing was/is kinda fun to play. I tend to be a scrooge. I figure Christmas is for the young, for parents and grandparents and such. I'm too old for the Christmas of youth and too young to be a parent. Go figure. But sometimes one is kinda forced by circumstances to pick Christmas stuff when you're around people and sometimes that makes it about half fun. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
