To help folks get into the holiday spirit this year, Guitar World presents Jimmy Brown's rock guitar ensemble arrangement of the classic Christmas/holiday song “Deck the Halls.”

It’s set for three electric guitars, all played with distortion and a bright, hard-rock/metal tone (bridge pickup), and electric bass, preferably played with a pick, punk style. The arrangement also works well with just two guitars, or one guitar and bass.

You can watch a video of Jimmy and another Guitar World favorite, Paul Riario, performing the entire song above.
