Over the years, I got 50K hits for playing someone else's arrangement of this song. I hope you get 10,000 times as many. You certainly deserve it for this beautiful arrangement and flawless guitar work.
The oldest comment here ... and still the best! What a beautiful wish to make. As it turns out, 500K "views." As you know, Marty Balash, some of Walter's videos have 2 million (correct). His genius is appreciated by his fans, including us. Other favorite (What the World Needs Now) comment of 11 years ago from "dmon15" : "This is the kind of sound that makes you forget about the stress and cares of the world while you listen. I am grateful to you for posting this."
@@MarkBlackburnWPG We all appreciate Walter. The way it should be!
This is the kind of sound that makes you forget about the stress and cares of the world while you listen. I am grateful to you for posting this.
I close my eyes and i can see all my family in a christmas night having a good time.
Love that sound
That chord passing from 20 - 23 seconds in is one of the best I've heard! I come from a chet/jerry background but these jazz chords put a big smile on my face man...Thanks for your uploads!
Thanks for comment about "that chord passing from 20 - 30 seconds -- one of the best I've heard!" Like you, I'm from the Chet Atkins/Jerry Reed background. I'm sure both those giants of the guitar would have loved what Walter does -- both the unsurpassed tone (the best since Chet's) and the content of his solos.

Christmas Bossa, why isn't this more popular?!
It's been a while,
3 years later the covers was so relaxing that this Christmas covers of yours was in my playlist in 3 yearss
Please make more man you are the best!
You are such a flawless player man. Thanks for spreading some joy.
Hey Walter,
back for another listen! It's always such a great pleasure for me to listen to your subtle playing and tasteful arrangements.
Thanks for all your supportive words, my friend.
Merry christmas and all the best for you and your family.
Uli
Love to see how you so easily just flow on the guitar. Fun to watch and hear, thank you
Just what I need with my morning coffee. So beautiful! Wow. I'm just waiting for the next one! Your arrangement is the perfect mix of expression, technique and still keeping to the integrity of the song. The Bossa Nova rhythm is almost instantly inspiring. I'd love to learn jazz guitar and piano, to play such dear songs and memories and give them a new life, refresh them. Thank you. Thank you for sharing this. Merry Christmas.
+Brent Tauro Thank you so much for your kind words :-)
Simply beautiful and sooothing !
I could listen to these jazz renditions you arrange all day long. :)
Muito bom!
master of chords
Great arrangement and really well executed! I really like your playing... Nice job!
Thank you so much!
This is a seasonal heaven! I love how this arrangement takes advantage of a bassline instead of mindlessly harping chord-to-chord.
Love your work!
Awesome talent you have! Thank you for sharing! -JP from Bohol, Philippines
Beautiful!!! Good tidings!!
I did a solo arrangement of this tune around 30 years ago. I still wheel it out nearly every Christmas. It has some similarities to this, but Walter’s sophistication and fluency rather put my efforts in the shade.
Nice sound on the electric nylon string, very nice chording, choice of bass note, and melody note brought to the forefront. Merry Christmas.
amazing thank you for posting this !!!
Now I know. I just asked about your birth country in another video...
You are brazilian. The way you play bossa nova...perfect!
You're brilliant, Walter!

Only 11 months left to Christmas! I just started learning your beautiful arrangement (hope you don't mind) so I'll be ready. If you could put tabs of this on your website, that would be the greatest early Christmas present ever for many of your fellow guitar players around the globe.
