Two Major "song" issues that
ruin
most guitarists' enjoyment
If you're tired of struggling with complex arrangements or awkward strumming patterns...
You'll be pleased to know I’ve created a fun and simple course that'll help. It's called:
"Christmas Crackers"
...And it's a high-impact HD video course designed to help you make progress from day one.
You'll master unique versions of classic songs like Good King Wenceslas, Silent Night, and The First Noel—enabling you to play real music and sound like a one-man or one-woman band—playing these classics with elegance, even as a beginner!
Imagine being surrounded by your family and friends as you effortlessly play a variety of Christmas classics on the guitar without frustration.
Why Does This Course Work?
The "No Chord Fingerstyle" method
...Flips the way most people learn songs on its head
The No Chord Fingerstyle method transforms how I approach learning songs.
It will show you how to play REAL, recognisable, and stunning holiday tunes in just hours with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions.
The method focuses on simple melodies and bass notes, so you can play rich, beautiful songs with minimal effort—and anyone listening will instantly recognise the tune.
I’ll tell you more about the songs in a moment, but let me be clear...
This course isn’t just about songs—it’s about improving your overall technique so you can...
Build A Solid Foundation For Years To Come!
Before tackling the songs, there's a simple "Getting Started" section which features:
...And the "10X Method" to end the most common hair-raising mistakes, a two-finger "Segovia" technique for better rhythm, and a four-note exercise to improve musicality.
From the very first video, you’ll build confidence with beginner-friendly, step-by-step lessons.
Remember, using the No Chord Fingerstyle technique, beginners can sound like experienced players quickly... And all while going at your own pace meaning you can enjoy the process.
And just so you know you will...

The FIVE stunning songs

Here's a little more about the beautiful Christmas carols you will learn that have delighted generations...
Good King Wenceslas
A joyful tune perfect for building confidence
Get in the Christmas spirit with this carol, which is all about generosity. You can start with any of the songs, but this is the simplest carol in the course and a great song to build your confidence.
In the tutorial, you'll learn to simplify the piece, add sparkle with slides, play exciting embellishments, and even incorporate a cool legato fill inspired by Jimi Hendrix!
Silent Night
An emotive classic that you'll love playing for yourself and others
Christmas Eve of 1914 – Amid war, soldiers from different nations sang "Silent Night" during a ceasefire and played football in no-man's-land. This emotive carol stirs deep emotion, building from a simple to a passionate crescendo.
As well as the tune, you'll learn all about syncopation, fretboard utilisation, easy "partial" chords, rolled chord-picking, and a Tommy Emmanuel technique to enhance your playing.
The First Noel
Master this beautiful, rich melody to showcase your new skills
An emotive carol covered by legends like Andy Williams, Johnny Mathis, and Whitney Houston. Learn how to bring out a rich dynamic range by playing the simple melody on the high E string, paired with deep bass notes.
Master the "Quick Switch" technique to seamlessly play in "Drop D" tuning and incorporate expressive techniques used by guitar legends like Julian Bream to add chordal depth, making this a truly enjoyable piece to perform.
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Add a powerful and inspiring carol to your repertoire
With its inspiring melody and beautiful chord changes, this carol is one of my personal favourites to play. A choir favourite, it's been brilliantly performed by legends like Frank Sinatra, and now you can add it to your repertoire too.
Inside, you'll learn to play simple bass runs, use elegant two-fingers, uncover the hidden beauty of diminished chords, and even play a powerful rock-inspired ending!
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
A timeless favourite with a Soulful and rich history
This timeless 17th-century English carol is loved worldwide and has been covered by icons like Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, and even heavy metal singer Dio!
Learn a Steve Vai-inspired virtuoso trick, how to add stylish harmony, and finish your songs with a bang a.k.a. a dramatic ending using vibrato and a mini barre chord!
Note: I teach the songs using fingerstyle, but if you're a picker, don't fret! I say that because I even briefly teach the basics of "Hybrid picking" so all types of players are catered to.
It's time to have Fun this year and every Christmas to come!
Each year I love teaching these songs to students.
And you too can revisit the songs in this course each year to see how far you progress. (Seeing progress like this is a wonderful confidence builder!)

“
You seem to have looked at what every other guitar tutor puts across, then you cover it all, but you fill in the gaping holes of information that most others just gloss over.
I'm going to learn a lot from you, thank you for being so thorough. Great system Dan, thanks.

“
I'm a returning student from childhood, so basically a beginner. You are covering things that other instructors are not and it's making things more interesting and fun for me.
I look forward to picking up my guitar every day and growing at a pace that is comfortable for me. Love the videos, too!!"

I am almost 63. I bought my first guitar about 6 months ago. I have stubby, arthritic fingers... and I'm having the time of my life.
I won't quit because of courses like Dan's. Every day I learn something new, and really it is just for me. Thank you, Dan.

In a few minutes, you can be enjoying this course and go on a journey of transforming your playing...
You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can play holiday classics that sound like they've been practised for years—quick, effective results guaranteed!
You have a choice:
Choose between traditional learning or a proven, instructor-guided approach with the Christmas Crackers course.

The joy of being a one-man or one-woman band and playing bass, chords, and melody simultaneously awaits...
One more thing before buying:
All songs take some time to learn - no matter what anyone tells you out there.
That's why you need to be patient, focused, and willing to use this course year after year. No doubt you will have a tonne of fun this Christmas with the course, and for many years to come, just don't expect to nail every song this year.
Although the arrangements are new, and I've never taught them outside of my studio before, some of the technique-building lessons in the "Getting Started" section have been covered in my other resources.
However, "recapping" the same key lessons and principles is crucial.
Finally, keep in mind, the course is NOT a long course.
The bonuses are short and concise. In fact, it takes less than 2 1/2 hours to watch the whole course but there are plenty of nuggets of wisdom throughout.
So, if you want key reminders of the basics and aspire to learn stunning songs, this is the course for you—BUT only if you apply what I teach, practise with focus, and are open to new ideas. Otherwise, it won't do much good for anyone if you get this.
This Christmas, give yourself the gift of music. Imagine the feeling of your loved ones cheering you on as you effortlessly play these beautiful songs around the Christmas tree and make lasting memories.
With the Christmas Crackers course, you'll not only learn beautiful songs but build skills that will last a lifetime.
Remember, a guitar is for life and not just for Christmas.
Merry Christmas and keep on rockin' that guitar!
