Ok...it's nearly *that* time of year. A time of year when I unwittingly allow myself to get roped into Christmas gigs. Each year I plan to say "No", and each year I fail dismally to do so.

I'm tired of the same-old dull repertoire, so I'd like to suggest to the organisers that we attempt some of Luke's wonderful arrangements from his Santamental CD. (Notice I said "attempt" ;) ... what we end up with will be Luke-inspired, but not anywhere near a cover version! We collectively lack the talent!)

Anyway, I have absolutely no free time between now and next year to transcribe anything myself, so I thought I'd ask around here in case a fellow knucklehead has already had a go at transcribing Santamental songs. So, here goes:

Have any of you guys got reasonably accurate charts for anything off Santamental?

I'm mostly interested in chord charts that document those juicy "Adult" chords (rather than TABbed solos), but I'll take what I can get.

Thanks!

The best guitar xmas arrangement ive ever heard and learnt was Eric Johnson's The First Noel, my god that is one beautiful version, stunning in fact. Its off one of Vai's xmas cd's from the 90's.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'd love to here Eric Johnson's take on that. Awesome guitarist. I'll see if I can hunt down that Vai album.

Looks like I'll have to transcribe the Santamental stuff myself when I get a free month. Ha ha...I've been saying that for a few years now!
