Silent Night
I really love this understated arrangement of Silent Night. Everything is in the right place. Guitar doesn’t have to be complicated to be beautiful. In fact, I would argue that simplicity in music is virtuous, and we should all be striving to play less notes.

How to play Silent Night | beginner fingerstyle guitar
Silent Night is very easy to play. Although you can strum the chords with your thumb, I would encourage you to try the arpeggiated fingerstyle technique that I use. Here’s how to do it.
The guitar tab for Silent Night is beautifully written across 2 pages. The arrangement is great for beginner guitar players and up.
Enjoy, the guitar tab is available below:
In accordance with the guitar tab, my order of play looks like this:
Intro, Verse 2x, End.
