White Christmas shouldn't be too tough for most guitarists, provided they can play barre chords (there is one barre chord in the song, plus several more in the optional song intro).

The strumming for White Christmas is quite straightforward. Simply strum four down strokes per bar. It's a somewhat gentle song, so be sure you're strumming fairly gently - don't hammer away at the guitar on this song.

The chords for White Christmas are for the most part rather simple also. There is a Cminor barre chord which beginners might struggle with a bit, but keep at it - you'll get it soon enough. If you choose to play the optional opening verse (it has a different melody, and although it was part of the original song, you don't hear it a whole lot in modern renditions of "White Christmas"), there are more challenging chords to play, which have also been listed below.
