Silent Night - How to play on acoustic guitar Christmas song beginner lesson

[Moodo1]

I prefer to fingerpick this one, it sounds better than just strumming the chords.

[Supernanar69]

Very good lesson Erich!

Merry Christmas too ;-)

[privatepaige]

MERRY CHRISTMAS ERICH!!!!!

[UnEviLTaKTiiKs]

Wow... I love your guitar my man. Beautiful.

[DontLogOffordie]

i think it's really great how you explicitly say "D DUDU D" in your videos

[troufles]

Love the tree... it has a guitar decor XD

[AlexxxC23]

my mom's gonna cry when she hears me play this, its her favorite ;). thanks sage for another great lesson!

[thecoolmateo1]

just curious, how many guitars do you actually have??

[softbootltd]

Great stuff as usual. You and a couple on you tube are teaching me the guitar but may take lessons next year as well. Anyway, question, guitar, is it the ej 200 ? If so is that a pickup or mic hidden in there? What type or make? Thanks. keep up the good work.

[IvanDrew05]

wow...gorgeous tree...makes me feel so chrismas..!!!!! BTW...Erich...just buy E-book...it's awesome...!!!! and uh...i'm learning this song by James blunt.. "you're beautiful"...now i almost can play all the chords..but i dont know how to strumming with my right hand...you didnt write down the strumming...i just cant figure it out even with the help of the video...it's kinda hard for beginners...so i suggest you should write down the strumming...not just for this song...but all the other songs.

[skaterboy4991]

man your soo good i wish i could good as u oh yeah by the way wat is the strum pattern

[ledzepmetal]

If you show how to play Happy New Year by ABBA it'll be even greater than I could imagine!

[genkers]

i hope you do it's beginning to look a lot like christmas also i was wondering if your ebook will teach me about rhythm cause i always have trouble with that its so much easier as a violinist cause i can watch the conductor lol

[privacyyyyy]

I LOVE all your guitar lessons. Why aren't u famous? DAMN u should be on tv sir.

[vanyallo]

Thank you! I wanna learn it so I can play for my friends at Christmas dinner :-))

Excellent lesson once again. Thank you. I've seen much more technically advanced versions of this but this is perfect.... Nice and simple for us beginners... Its pleasantly simple to play and gives the full essence of the carol.. Your the man buddy..!!!

[Kellerspinne]

OMG Thank you so much!!! You just saved my Grandma's christmas! Otherwise I would have had to play the flute x.X ...

Thankyou so much.

[DaddysGirl3181]

I'm not that far yet -_-. I am still learning chords. I can play E, F, and G on high E and on B I can play B, C and D.

[jx14aby]

well done!

[punkguitardude16]

marry christmas all...and you have a very good voice lol awesome job thanks....marry christmas and happy holidays.

[thefluffyman2]

is there a reason you play your G cord with your index finger off the A string or is that optional?

[yourguitarsage]

@thefluffyman2 lazy... AND I actually like the sound better.

:)

e

[ReneBrain]

@yourguitarsage it's a g powerchord with a lot of g's and d's in there...but it's a cool way to play it, i do it too, learnt it from a punkband, you can make some nice melodies with moving that index finger to the c and b and play along with that

[rony042]

WOW!!! This is a great song to learn and practice for a beginner. I just started to practice guitar yesterday and I already can this song. its only 3 chords except one time you switch to G7 but I am so happy I finally played at least one song. Woohoo!

[tubefish123]

Love the guitar your usin. great lesson also

[Sevensixseven78]

My grandma is going to think I am so cool when I play this for her! See grandma I am not posessed only playing the devils rock n roll music:)

[mrtommy712]

Hey, I noticed that you've got a new guitar. How is it?? I'm looking around for a new guitar. Thanks alot

[Qasim311]

what guitar is that?

[scottrainw]

Hey man thanks for another great lesson. It's funny I downloaded the tabs for this song a week ago and I was beginning to wonder if I was playing it right. Now having seen this lesson, I now know I am playing it right. Thanks again for this lesson. Is there any chance you could do a lesson on how to play Christmas in Dixie by Alabama? My wife is wanting me to learn this song by Christmas. I am having trouble with the rhythm of this song. I hope you don't mind my asking. Thanks again.

[antoisalegend]

Loving the guitar decoration on the tree man :D

Loving the tree too it's amazing :D

[joaoflor]

thanks to you, i mean thanks alot

[SheiSPipi93]

I remember when I was trying so hard to play guitar and I found your videos. Now that I can play..thanks to you.. :D

[edelmar552]

[rjm00re]

@SheiSPipi93 i agree

[FuryRanger]

Can you teach us how to play Grandma Sage Got Ran over by a Reindeer? Please? :P

[Celeodor]

Excellent! Your videos are really informative, and you keep them very intertwining!

[bberra93]

It's great how you help new guitar players

I remember waiting for a new video from you so I could add a new song to my repertoire

but I feel as though I am graduating from these sort of easy songs :(

you should have a song that's harder to learn for all us yourguitarsage veterans! (:

[yourguitarsage]

@bberra93 I totally agree. They are coming my friend. I'm getting ready to do a whole lead guitar series. It's about to crazy up in here!

:)

[KingMooseSLSK]

@yourguitarsage it would be amazing if u brought in a lead guitar because i just got a new amp so im gonna be playing my electric alot more now =]

[zeppelin1996]

@yourguitarsage Can't wait for it!

[pearcedk]

I just saw this earlier song today in the chart section of your website and thought it looked easy enough to play. I didn't know the strumming pattern though so I just checked to see if you had a video on it and what do you know, you just posted one today! I'm thinking about bustin' this out at sunday school this weekend.

You rock YourGuitarSage! Merry Christmas!

[tomsgurl1993]

Very easy to pick up, thanks for teaching:)

Merry Chrismas:)
