A chord melody arrangement consists of both melody (solo) and harmony (chords) of a song. This kind of playing is very appealing to the listeners ear but also really fun to practice and perform for the guitar player.
Chord Melody is often used in Jazz playing and Christmas songs. It’s a really cool technique to learn, explore and add to your skill set.
Today we got 10 cool Christmas chord melody guitar arrangements.
These arrangements are probably more suited for intermediate and advanced level. Having said that, don’t let me stop you from trying.

I like the Jingle bell rock and Noel arrangements.
Thanks.
Happy holidays Klaus!
Hi Jason,
Absolutely they are a real joy to play.
It’s nice to change between playing chord songs, playing solely the melody line and chord melody arrangements. It keeps things fun and interesting.
Have a great one!
Do you also Christmas songs with chords?
