Description

Today’s lesson looks at the all-time classic Silent Night, where I’ll show a few different ways to approach it. I’ll begin by showing an easy-going way to combine the melody line with single strums of each chord, which is tons of fun.

I’ll then show the same melody played in a fingerstyle context, which likewise can be a great way to work on your fingerpicking technique. Finally, I’ll end with a simple strum & sing version, in case you’d rather not bother with the melody notes at all. This is quite a fun one, let’s get to it!
