Tuning: Standard
 
Really awesome fingerstyle riff for a classic Christmas song.
 
I like to fret the low E notes with my thumb.

Intro to the solo:

E bass note at the end is the first beat of the solo section. I like to end the song with this
"intro to solo" section and then harmonics at the 12 frets on the G, B, and high E strings.
 
If you don't want to learn/do the solo, just repeat main riff till the end. When I play at church,
we have the keyboard player do the solo (sounds great).
 
Hope you enjoy.
