The First Noel for Guitar solo + free music / tab

from "A Classical Guitar Christmas" album -

http://www.guitar69.com/christmasalbum.htm

free tab / notation located at

http://www.guitar69.com/noel.htm

--------------------------------------------

Sorry about the background noise - this is New York City after all....

The arrangement is definitely influenced by the Beatles "Let It Be" - lots of 10ths and stepwise harmonic motion. I hope you enjoy hearing and playing it and will share it with others this Christmas.

Feel free to comment - but please don't get nasty to each other. As my Mom would say "Don't fight - It's Christmas!!!!"...haha

Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous 2008!

Kevin

@Oblivion175 - you mean the "horns" that Dio used to wave to the fans? I'm honored, thanks!

[NYRYDA]

Amazing. !!

I would love the tabs on this to play it at my church on Christmas. Would you mind giving them to me?

Thank you for your time

thanks to all - If you have any questions about the tab/notation, please let me know.

Merry Christmas and Happy 2008. I hope 2008 is a fantastic year for all of us.

Sincerely,

Lovely. I trust you are well acquainted with some of the great British acoustuic guitarists, Bert Jansch & John Renbourn to mention twqo.

[guitarchristmas]

thank you - yes, I'm particularly fond of John Renbourn's playing. My Baroque CD is very influenced by the "John Renbourn" kind of sound - lots of open strings and fluid arpeggios. If people don't know him, I highly recommend looking him up. He's a beautiful player.

Merry Christmas,

Kevin

Do you have Silent Night? Advance Happy Christmas.

[12Eragon3]

Beautiful.

[LoneStarStateOfMine]

Your playing is like water over river stones -- very smooth, beautiful in every way, and it makes you want to listen to it over and over.

I have two guitars and play, but nothing near your level of excellence.

Thank you, Kevin, for sharing.

God bless,

Laura

This is absolutely beautiful; I just happened across it and I'm glad I did.

Thank you and God bless,

Laura
