Angels We Have Heard on High - Christmas Fingerstyle Guitar

This is Mike Marshall's really cool arrangment of Angels, in DGDGBE. You get 4 different treatments of the verse melody throughout the song. It's a great one for improvising over as well, since it roots to the open G the whole time.

I learned it from a book with the transcription in it. Do some digging online and you might find it. If not, buy the book "Acoustic Guitar Artist Songbook".

Hi there, can you please tell me how to fret those chords at 1:04 and at 1:17? I would really appreciate it.

[zacharron]

Sure: Second finger plays Bb on 3rd fret A string, 3rd finger plays F on 3rd fret D string, open G string, 1st finger plays C on B string. Tada!

This tuning, DGDGBE, is perfect for this song. You can play it in any style and it works.

@nanaki2007 Yuh...DGDGBE.

[nanaki2007]

@zacharron you're absolutely certain this wasn't played DADGAD?...
