When I hear most any song, I think: What would this sound like with banjo? The same is true with this classic Christmas waltz! I simply added another beat per measure and it’s now a regular bluegrass standard!
What’s funny is… it doesn’t sound wrong in 4. Nicely done!
Next year do it in 5! 
(just kidding)
Man that Twanger sounds SOOO GOOD!
When I read the title I thought “Ben, what have you done?” Then I heard it and said “Honey, come listen to what Ben did!”
Yeah! now that is what bluegrass christmas is all about! It’s too bad I can’t do it as a duet with the guitar one though…
It shouldn’t be too hard to take what we have here and make a basic waltzy version.
or vice-versa
Well, I used to play Amazing Grace in 4/4 cuz I didn’t know any better 
I tried to write a tab for Amazing Grace, but was having some timing issues… Because it’s not in default (4/4)
Y’all want me to do a guitar and mando version of this? Want to give me some ideas and I mash them together?
That would be great! I would like a lot of blues notes, but not some many that the melody can’t be distinguished.
Yes mando too please!!!
Yes please do mando!
I could use a geetar version in my life…and make it spicy!!
Yup, to mando plz!!!
Well, I’m several days late, but I kept getting interrupted trying to learn the lesson. What’s with people wanting “family time” and “holiday togetherness” anyway? Sheesh! 
Seriously fun lesson, and not too difficult to get up to speed. Highly recommended.
Sweet pickin’ going on there!
This is such a cool version, it sounds silly to say what my favorite is. Toward the end of the song, after the B, Em, and A, there’s a D run in there that starts with a single open 1st string. I’ve played that run thousands of times, but I’ve always played it with 2 picks of the first string so the lick finishes with the 3rd string open on the G chord change.
Ben dropped one of those open D notes so he had time to get to the 3rd string slide for the G chord. That one tiny little change opened up new possibilities for that old D chord run.
well done sir!
@Mark_Rocka
That was great Mark!!! Super clean!!
Enjoyed it!! 
Better late than never! And I know exactly what you mean about “interrupted,” haha! … I was trying to get that same song (mando part of mando/guitar duet version) clean in time for Christmas but started working on it too late & it didn’t happen; hence the last ditch bluegrass white snow attempt!
