hey! Kristina here - James' wife. It was super fun to take a moment from raising two babies to appear in this video. James makes it look so easy. There are moments here where I look super focused because I was concentrating hard not to screw-up, haha! But I learned these songs and you can, too! Thanks everyone for the support.
The timing of this for me is perfect. I started learning to play guitar 7 months ago. I’m 63yrs. I’m my with adult children this xmas and taking my guitar. They don’t know it but I’m learning xmas songs for the occasion. I’ve got song sheets written out ( for them ) and I’m arriving with a box of percussion instruments. 😊. The songs that 😢you have shown us are going on the list. As I said. Perfect timing for my level of playing. Huge appreciation. Merry Christmas when it comes. Sending you n yours lots of love from Scotland 🏴
@@wildalbalass4867 Wow what a great surprise you are planning this Christmas. We are glad to be of service for you here. They are going to remember this for many years to come. Merry Christmas. Lots of love from Canada. - Kristina and James
You both might have just stumbled across something Out of all the guitar training or educational videos, I believe this is one of the first that I've seen That basically engaged the teacher with the student and showing how to play songs It's a different perspective for the viewer on RUclips Good job guys! Maybe a session with You're a beautiful wife on the piano and you only guitar working out cord arrangements for simple songs
It’s really great that you introduced your wife to us and you make a fantastic team! Please do more together it’s very useful and Kristina adds a great dimension to your instruction videos. Excellent and thank you for all your hard work James.
Hehehe... got two young ones here as well. They take up so much time. I used to have all the time in the world to just sit around and play my guitar. Now, I struggle just to get a few minutes here and there. This video will give me an excuse to play my guitar especially since my kids love "Last Christmas".
Hey SanchoSanto. The struggle is real. I used to spend hours writing songs on the piano and guitar and now I can barely stand up after the two little ones are in bed. Like I have NOTHING left. I can totally relate. I love them but...
One of your best videos I've seen. You and your wife make a good team, would love to see more videos like this one. Awesome!!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
How easy it can be! Thank you so much. This is what I was looking for. No difficulties 😅 For a person like me perfect. You both are a good team. 👍👍 Sending you and your family Christmas wishes from the Netherlands.
He Christina you did very well with singing too!now 2 years later I think you are improving..thus is a very nice way to learn .Here on our island Ameland north Netherlands we do sing -inn and sing together people choose a song and wr sing.have fine christmas together with the kids.grts Johan❤❤
This is wonderful, you make it very easy to start understanding how to do this by ear. You keep it simple, and anyone with good pattern recognition will benefit from your videos so much. You guys are amazing. Love you both. 🤗
Hey James and Kristina! Thanks for such a warm and generous display of Christmas Joy! I really enjoy all that you have created here and I continue with most of your instructional video as a paid subscriber and couldn’t be more pleased with your program, so Thanks and to everyone in your family Merry Christmas and a Wonderful 2023!!!!

I have been learning the strumming patterns and chord progressions from your free e book ( a great resource for beginners by the way) I think I'm ready to tackle these Christmas songs. Great team you both. Keep up the great work Happy Christmas to you and your family.Love from ireland
Hi Maurice - James' wife here. I'm so glad that you found the ebook useful enough to feel confident enough to tackle these songs. Please let us know how it goes.
This is so cool! Thank you for sharing these! I'm a beginner, and my husband has been playing forever, so I'm always interested in songs that we can play together that aren't too hard for me!! Can't wait to break it out for Christmas!
Honestly James is a million times the guitar player I am, but when it comes to songs like this, you sound nice just playing the simple chords and I feel like I can share a stage with him no problem lol - Kristina
@@willolux9564 you've won yourselves a new subscriber. And the fact that you're Kristina with two little ones is icing on the cake 😂 I have two girls and finding time to practice is difficult. Excited for the content. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Great video with the both of you - and a tremendous help having a "student". I felt at home. Love the sweaters. Hope they're pure wool. Where I live, Above the Arctic Circle, Northern Norway, its needed - have one almost the same. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your Family. 🎅🎅🎅
Hey T R, So you're saying you're basically at the north pole?! Super cool. I hope you keep warm during these cold months and that you find some light on the dark days of this time of year. All the best - Kristina
Thanks for these suggestions, but the chords are too low for me to sing. Could you do a video with higher chords so women could join in and sing? I do have a capo but I find the capo to be difficult to use because it makes the strings even tighter and that hurts my fingers far more than if I played without a capo. Thanks.
Oh no, I'm sure that will be hard! I have taught high school for 10 years though so I am acquainted with the teenage brain...however I am aware it's different when they are yours! I'll soak up the cute baby days for now...
I mean great, but they aren't exactly what i call classic christmas songs that every1 knows 😅 last 1 obviously jingle all ive heard of, nice last 1 tho🎉😂
Hey Darrell, she's awkward in front of the camera as it was her first video with me. It's tough behind the lens - where do you look!?! Fake a smile? lol. By the way, the person writing this comment IS the bored woman in the video. :)

Thanks Sarah, we will take a look at it. It seems to be working again. Thanks for letting us know.

Now that's a husband & wife Christmas moment. Question is what 2 acoustic 🎸 are you playing?
My wife usually plays a Larivee but actually forgot her guitar on this day so she used her dad's fender acoustic. I am playing a Crafter.
This video is about to get a lot more views. Give it three months.
Awe you guys are adorable 🥰
Merry Christmas❣️❣️❣️
And yes it gets easier and then those teen years pop up lol 😂

Pls send me the link to download chords.Thks.
where can a german guy can get this christmas sweater :D
Love your ugly sweater.🤣❤️
Sometimes you just need to fully embrace the warmth of the season
❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🙏🌲
Why not add the middle eight in the songs? Some songs you only teach half the song.
Hi Michael, which middle eight are you referring so specifically? I believe all the parts are covered as they are just repeated.
I mean great, but they aren't exactly what i call classic christmas songs that every1 knows 😅 last 1 obviously jingle all ive heard of, nice last 1 tho🎉😂
