On The Beat - Episode 833 - Weekly Guitar Video News Wrap Up December 19, 2025
December 19, 2025
We are getting further behind in Holiday prep every day, so not much new on my guitar front this week. Although, we did get a new Bee Gees lesson from Nesh - How Deep Is Your Love.
I did take the opportunity in today's video to play a few of my favorite Christmas tunes. I opened with Jingle Bell Rock, which led to a little theory discussing seventh, diminished and augmented chords, all of which pop up in the song. Somewhere along the way I wandered into O Holy Night, then wrapped things up with I Wonder As I Wander and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.
I also talked a bit more about my history with Christmas songs, going back to the 1980s and a 12-day gig at Macy's department store, which led to my first album - A Christmas Collection, and a Holiday video for our local TV station in 1984. Check out young Neil below!
I hope you enjoy them and have a great Holiday Season!
Neil
