Default "Silent Night" harmonically

Generally I post my version of "Silent Night" this time of year. Played and recorded a number of years back. Blanchard Bristlecone guitar. Happy holidays!

You know, I don't ever recalling hearing this one in years past.
Very well conceived and played. I particularly liked the way you mixed it up in the second part to keep the repeating theme fresh. It's not easy to play these harmonics over long stretches.
Nicely done! and thanks for getting that one out of the vault.

Thanks Andre. I also liked playing with the contrast of tone and timbre of harmonic and versus non harmonic notes.

How many strings does that guitar have? One for each semitone?

Just kidding. That was brilliant. I bet if you posted a How To video on YouTube you’d get thousands of views. I’d certainly watch it.

Thank you for this lovely gift to AGF.
