How to Play Feliz Navidad on Guitar
Feliz Navidad by José Feliciano is a joyful Christmas classic that every guitarist should know. It is played in D Major at around 120 BPM and uses just four chords — D, G, A, and Bm — making it very accessible for beginners. The upbeat D DU UDU strumming pattern gives it that festive Latin feel. The trickiest transition is from A to D, so practice that switch slowly before attempting the full tempo.
