Arthur McBride (Cover)

Merry Christmas, everyone! In honor of the season, here is everyone’s favorite Christmas song, Arthur McBride, the Die Hard of Christmas songs. Played on the sparkly pink guitar I had when I was young because that’s what I have at my mom’s house. It plays pretty well for an instrument that hasn’t had new strings in a couple of decades.

Thank you for listening, and I hope you all enjoy this cover of Paul Brady’s definitive version.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I have an 1970 Yamaha FG180 that my father gave me. I discovered this song when I Googled artists that play an FG 180....Paul Brady. Beautiful.

One of my students, 9 years old, says 'you can have as many best friends as you want.' Hey, you! with the very pretty voice! I want you for a best friend!

I've heard a few people cover this over the years (and I play it, myself) but I think this has to be my favourite treatment of the song since Andy M. Stewart. Great job on this one!

Merry Christmas! You've been introducing me to so much great music since I found your channel, keep it up and thank you so much! Your guitar playing and voice is beautiful, but wow that's an obnoxious guitar

What tuning is your guitar in? Paul Brady was a master of alt tuning.
