What Child is This/Greensleeves- Basic
guitar beginner Free lesson
In this lesson
Merry Christmas! For Christmas this year, I thought I'd teach a FREE basic version of this classic tune to accompany the intermediate arrangement I'm offering. This basic version sticks VERY close to the melody and is in the traditional waltz timing of 3/4. If you have friends and family who are also pickers, be sure to download the free versions for banjo and mandolin!

Just want to say the multiple camera angles make all the difference. I could actually see what the right hand was doing.

Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.

Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.
