Thank you very much for this video. I have to play this on sunday on the drums and this is the most helpful for me to listen to. Thank you!!! And keep it up sounds great.
Such an awesome and beautiful arrangement! I've looked around for the same one but I can't seem to find it. Would you be able to pass on the tabs if you have them? Once again, very well done!
dale!!! jermo violin dude here...youve got quite the following here!! miss your musical genius- but well done! youve got my number- you see any violin on this classic with you id be honored! mmm, nice! till next we meet up sir!
hello my friend....so good to hear from you!! You know i'd love to team up on anything with you - maybe it will happen...hope all is good and you guys have a great season!
These beautiful and timeless old songs will always be heard throughout the ages because of such magnificent presentations such as this. Thank You for this wonderful performance.
Well, that just blows away my little finger-picking attempt at this song! Seriously, Sir, that is one of the nicest versions of that song I have ever heard. All props etc. And a very, very Merry Christmas to you!
There ya go again, Dale. Another lovely piece. I'm always blown away by your playing, whether your own arrangements or covers. Very, very pretty. And so in the spirit of this Holiday.
hello friend, really appreciate your kind post and thanks for taking your time to listen! Hope you and your family have a great season and all the best in the year ahead,
Your playing is beautiful as always. I really enjoyed this one. Your version of the First Noel inspired me although I haven't gotten to your arrangement yet. I was able to figure out a mandolin and Weissenborn version.
Dale: Nice playing. I am working on this piece. It looks like you chose to capo at the first fret instead of the second. Was it because you found it easier in this position? Joel
i listened to it again it is still good, im more of a singer than a player, and man i wish i could play like this, really liked it! im going to put up a version of this great song, look it up and i hope you like it
Dale, that was really wonderful. You have a very steady and relaxed playing style, with attention to each note that allows the beauty of the music to resonate.
wonderful.... again, Dale. Has the reverance, softness, and soul this piece deserves. You have a way of doing that- consistently and masterfully. Happy Holidays to you, my friend!
Your song has so much momentum and dimension- just stirring. Thanks for letting us into your home. And may God warm you and your family's heart in a very special way this Christmas.
One of the best arrangements of this song I have ever heard. Do you know where I can get the tabs for this? Are they online anywhere? I would love to learn this rendition. Absolutely wonderfully done. Very Impressive.
I have the tab for this. If you want it send me a PM. I am not sure why Dale is so reticent about sharing the tab for the songs he performs. I am pretty sure he didnt learn this by ear. No disrepsect Dale.
This is very beautiful and inspiring! Christmas songs sound so much better staying with the original melody without adding unnecessary changes. I'm just starting fingerstyle guitar so I need to start practicing Christmas songs already.
thanks for your kind words - i agree - the melodies on some of these standards are just beautiful, i'm glad to hear you are a fingerstyle player!! All the best,
Fantastic! Thanks for all of the great work you have posted!
