The song "Silent Night" is over 200 years old and the most famous Christmas carol in the world. It has been translated into around 320 languages and dialects – even Japanese. There are no better reasons to arrange this successful "standard" for jazz guitar. Don't be intimidated by the choice of the difficulty level: For the "stretch chords", simpler variations are provided. Have fun jamming under the Christmas tree.

This video shows the performance of this classic Christmas carol in its entirety. If the chords are (still) too difficult to play, I show some alternatives in the next video.
The arrangement of "Silent Night" for jazz guitar naturally contains numerous chords with lots of tensions. If you are not (yet) able to play these chords on the guitar, I will show you simpler chord variations that also sound beautiful and fit well. When this course is published, there will still be about 13 days until Christmas Eve, which means plenty of time to practice. The people at the Jazz School wish you lots of fun and Merry Christmas.
