Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You - Guitar Tab | Lesson | Cover | Tutorial

[@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons]

Hey everyone! For this year's addition to the Christmas tab playlist, I decided to create a rock instrumental version of "All I want for Christmas is You"! My goal was to reimagine the vocals melodies on lead guitar, and just add a rock twist to the whole song overall. LEADS I did my best to capture the nuance of the vocal inflections. Although, I may have taken some creative liberties with the note rhythms and choices to better a guitar-focused arrangement. There is some added a chorus effect on all of the leads, inspired by Mariah’s double-tracked vocals. INTRO At the beginning, you'll hear some harmonics - I went 12 frets higher and used my right hand to gently lay on the strings while plucking with my thumb. If anyone knows the exact name for this technique, please share! I thought it was fitting, considering the original uses chimes. RHYTHM The drums and bass stay pretty true to the original track, but I added some power chord chugging for a little extra energy. ENDING The studio version fades out, so I drew inspiration from some of the live performances I found to give it a proper finish. Feel free to share your thoughts and your own interpretations! Merry Rockin’ Christmas! 🎄🎶🤘

Where can I request tabs for you to do?

[@MIDI3301]

I enjoyed this arrangement WAY more than I should have. Nicely done!!

[@gdemperion3359]

If I'm not wrong its called artificial harmonics

[@FollowJesusLord]

Jesus loves you

[@iamdoctor4188]

What does the small numbers mean? That you just hold it without plucking the note?

[@olivierubachs]

I'm not even a Mariah Carey fan, but you simply can't skip what art Mr. Tabs made out of this song.

[@Parabellum04]

Agreed

[@Mando98751]

When Slash records in the same studio as Mariah Carey :

[@WewisGaming-tu3vv]

Most underrated comment I’ve ever seen legit

[@NeungView]

What then?

[@riteshswapna]

So accurate lol

[@luissiu3984]

You say that because of the guitar? Tone? Or playing?

[@WewisGaming-tu3vv]

@@luissiu3984 I think both

[@Lorekalel]

You make this song bearable

[@macethorns1168]

You're just saying that because the words are absolutely ridiculous.

[@Dane_plays_guitar]

Yeah lol😂

[@RandomPerson-ui3xv]

I’m not even a Mariah Carey fan but you can’t just walk away from what he has made out of this.❤ Absolutely phenomenal Mr.Tab!🎉🎉❤

[@xiomaracoromotoramirezdeca8022]

[@PinkWorm]

Check out the KZbin channel "SongTutorial" he made a pretty accurate one, very similar to this channel but is mostly 80s / 90s heavy metal
