Silent Night
an arrangement by Frode Thorkildsen
Note: This is a nice christmas song that I've been trying to adapt for the
guitar, and I think it turned out pretty good. It's got an intro,
one verse and an outro. If you practice the parts seperatly you'll
soon get this tune in your fingers. Just listen to the recording I
did (wav-file) and try to let strings ring as I do. Try to find a
fingering that suits you and a piece of advice is, don't use to much
barre cuz that can prevent loose strings to ring. Those three
arppeggiated chords in the outro are good examples. Just think in
that direction. Pleez read tablature explination at the bottom
of this tab. This tune is a nice chord study and exercise.
Merry Christmas!!!
