New finger style Christmas Carols

I've done a couple versions of 'Silent Night' so you can impress your relatives after Christmas dinner ... one version is very stripped back, just the melody line and bass notes. It should be fairly easy even for those just starting down the path of finger style guitar. The second is a trickier, busier version, with a few different things going on ... for those who are further along.

Silent Night ... easy version
Silent Night ... trickier version


Don't forget the other two carols ...

White Christmas
Jingle Bells

Merry practice and for those who don't celebrate Christmas ... they're nice tunes anyway, and fun to play!

Thanks Kirk for the Christmas songs! I can actually play the easy version of Silent Night. I'm struggling with this fingerpicking and it really felt good to be able to do something! It made my day!!!

Hee Hee, they're playing my song but I seem to have mislaid my bells!

Sounds great, Kirk. I just finished classical gas. What a blast. I've practiced your songs so much that even when I play a song that's not on your site, my fingers are there right where and when I need them. It's like magic!!!!
Thanks a thousand times. Kimagori
