Default "Silent Night" again

I see that the tune seems to be a Christmas time favorite on the guitar so I will share again my version from several years back. There is lots of natural and artificial harmonics for a bit of a music box effect in places.

Thanks. I'm not usually a fan of Christmas music, but I enjoyed that, and so did my two young girls. Well played!

That is exquisite! What guitar is that? It sounds so ethereal. VERY appropriate.

As much as like the sound-color of string harmonics, I've never been able to do the clean, any note you need, played-in-time, artificial harmonics thing you carried off beautifully on this.

Well done.
