The First Noel Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my First Noel chord chart with guitar chords and strumming. This is another beautiful Christmas song to play on the guitar. I think it’s really one of my favorites to listen to.
This song is definitely more suited to fingerpicking than strumming, but I will put a strumming pattern below that you can use.
