Steve Hung: Adventures in Fingerpicking: November 2013

Hope everyone is having a great holiday season. I've decided to tab out my rendition of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" which can be found off my Christmas album "Fireplace Christmas Tunes"

http://stevehung.bandcamp.com/track/god-rest-ye-merry-gentlemen

My rendition is played on nylon string guitar with some accompaniment from cellos. It's in the key of Am, and I shift an octave up in the middle of the song to add some variation.

Enjoy!
