"Swingle Bells" for Guitar

I have been a columnist for Flatpicking Guitar Magazine

since 2001. In each issue I offer something for developing

guitarists from the classical, jazz, and bluegrass music genres.

Every column contains some original music, text, and an

audio mp3 on the disc included with the magazine.

Flatpicking Guitar, published by Dan Miller, has lots of great

columns and articles of interest for all guitarists.

Swingle Bells is my column from the Dec-Jan ’02 issue.

It is a swing adaptation of the popular Holiday tune, Jingle Bells.

I hope you enjoy playing the arrangement as you listen

along with the audio.

Happy Holidays!
