TAB: Noel / Silent Night

Continuing on with the holiday theme, I'd like to present you my TAB for "Noel / Silent Night," which is my arrangement of the holiday classics that seamlessly combine "First Noel" and "Silent Night" together. I've included an original bridge in the middle of the "Noel" part, which adds something new and a little different to these traditional Christmas carols. This song is played fingerstyle on steel string acoustic, and includes light accompaniment from fiddles which add another texture to this song. Enjoy!
