Check out this unique rendition of 4 dueling guitars playing the popular Christmas song ‘Carol of the Bells.’

“Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, throw cares away
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer, to young and old, meek and the bold.
Ding dong ding dong, that is their song, with joyful ring, all caroling.
One seems to hear, words of good cheer, from everywhere, filling the air.”

The man playing in the video is Chris Rupp, and he is playing the tenor, soprano, bass, and alto parts on his guitar during the song.
