GUITAR TAB CLASSICAL CHRISTMAS STORY

The guitar has become an important part of the music we play at Christmas. I think this stems in part from the story of the now famous and beautiful carol 'Silent Night'.

The story goes that Franz Gruber from the  Austrian town of Oberndorf wrote the carol Silent Night to be sung with the organ at the Christmas service. Because the organ was so out of tune Franz decided to use the guitar to accompany the church choir.

Christmas songs and carols sound beautiful when put into the hands of brilliant acoustic guitar players such as Gordon Giltrap and John Fahey.

There are 100 all time Christmas favourites in 'The Ultimate Christmas Guitar Book'. The book highlights useful strum patterns on the top of every page and the christmas material is presented in guitar friendly keys with lyrics. The book has a plastic comb binding so its easy to keep the book open on the page you need - great for performance in concerts, services and rehearsals. However all songs are in music notation only - no tab sorry.

Listen to this Lovely version of Silent Night by Chrishhh

Soothing Sounds for Christmas - beautifully and smoothly played.

Some of the jazzier harmonies that Chrishhh adds to the arrangement are just right and not too over the top.

Brilliant!
