Silent Night

Arguably the only Christmas carol of the historic Christian faith written for guitar. The history is explained in the video, and it's played in two levels of difficulty. Enjoy it every Christmas, and learn to play it from the video then add your own touches to the arrangements and make it yours. One of the most popular of all Christmas carols. Memorize it for every Christmas in your future and then play it well and joyfully.

Chords and Melody Music

There are two lessons on this video.  We want you to listen to and then play a "Melody only", phrase by phrase, version of the song, so you hear the beauty of the melody.  Then, similarly we want you to listen to and then play through a "Chords only" version where you can strum the strings, or in the spirit of fingerstyle traditions, begin to use your right hand thumb and fingers to play block chords.  Good exercises for any player.…’specially the listening part.
