Silent Night

This arrangement was created using MusEdit Software and is
100% the work of the author.

IMHO,this is not only the most beautiful arrangement of
Silent Night, It is also the easiest one to play! I play
it exactly as written but it also sounds great using a
strumming style. All of the open string melody notes can
be played using harmonics at the 12th fret.
