How To Play Silent Night On Guitar
Beginner guitarists should have no problems playing the chords for Silent Night on guitar. The only slightly tricky chord is the F sharp diminished in the seventh bar. However, this chord can be omitted if preferred – just keep on strumming the F chord in its place!
Learn the individual chord shapes first, then practice changing between the chords by playing the whole carol at a slow, steady tempo. Pay particular attention to getting the chord changes as smooth as possible!
A good way to practice changing chords is by playing along to a metronome. Gradually increase the tempo until you are confident playing the song at performance speed.
