The Definitive Christmas Collection 3rd Edition

The higher price gets you a very large selection of holiday music (over 100 numbers) and a frustration-sparing spiral binding. The selection of music is pop oriented, with songs by George Michael, Neil Diamond, and Garth Brooks included. The exciting wild card here is a charming Percy Faith instrumental, "Brazilian Sleighbells." You also get the overlooked "Go Tell It on the Mountain." Skill level is generally moderate, with few of the key signatures going past one flat or sharp. Some guitar chord fingerings are offered; other songs have just the chord names, but most are quite simple. --William R. Braun
