Default Silent Night in F# minor (Guitar Solo)

Merry Christmas! ��✨☃️

Here is my solo guitar transcription from a piano version of Cottrell who made an arrangement from F# minor to A major. It is arranged in a very unusual color from the familiar version of Gruber, a rather dark and sad harmony of F# minor but finished in brighter key A major. The last picture was painted by Timothy Lau.

Enjoy!

Good job. Pretty dark version of the tune though (until near the end).
Happy holidays.

That opening, freer, half is breathtaking!

It sure brings out some colors we're not used to hearing with that tune, and I liked that, and your playing, a lot.

Thanks Frank! Yes it was very weird to me before I took sometime to accept it, but I found it sounds very interesting and good on classical guitar later on.

Very reflective with open space between notes then near the end your playing adds hope to the reflective mood you set. Beautifully done!
