"Hi, I'm Erica Lane with Expert Village talking about how to write a Christmas song on the guitar. When writing your Christmas song you are going to want to experiment with three or four different chords to start out with.

A very popular chord that you can play is G you might want to start with G, then move to D, then back possibly to G, move to C, then to G.
