Hello Jim, It will be interesting to see how your approach compares to mine in regards to arranging Silent Night. Actually the tunings are very simular comparing the interval relationships between the strings. Dgbd (5135) to ADf# (513). They both work with a major chord triad with the same configuration 513. As you will discover, the four string offers the advantage of having full chords starting and ending on a tonic and not needing to always alter notes to make various chords due to the limtation of just having 3 strings. Thank you . Enjoy.

It seems like a good tool. It is the season I have been working on Silent Night (on the 4 string) as well. Again I have taken what you taught in the earlier series about working with songs we all know front and backwards. Happy Holidays.....

Thank you Jim. For now, I am going to continue video recording my arrangements to archive them for future reference. I am working on lesson 1 of How to play 3 string CBG Part 2. The first lesson will include naming the notes on all three strings, the chords associated with the key of C, Chord practice: House of the Rising Sun and Silent Night. Now that is a contrast! LOL Talk about Good & Evil Enjoy.

Great as always... I see where you are going with this series. I am looking forward to more, I hope you do get the time to tab out these songs. Tab does help make certain that the student is picking up what you are teaching. ( I understand these may not be part of your series 6 lessons) Just in case though it would be very helpful. Take care my friend..

Thank you for your comment. I cannot get a good close-up of the fingerboard, if I pull far enough away to get my picking hand. Basically, these videos are going to serve as a personal record of studies that I created to make my practice more interesting. If I can find the time, I want to tab them out. These videos will serve as a visual and audio reminder for me. Sorry for any inconvience. Enjoy.
