+guitarchristmas thanks and merry late christmas and happy new year to you too love your contents keep on the awesome work bro ! P.S. : thanks for the tabs im working on this one for next christmas tricky one though lol
I have been listening to your arrangement for almost 4 years.. still love it, Just have to learn this.. When Christmas is over, I find it hard to work Christmas music, and realize Christmas and the music need to be 24 7.. Beautiful... Merry Christmasand many thanks for sharing this beautiful piece PEACE
Thank you for your beautiful passion and talent on one of the most beautiful Christmas compositions ever written. I am truly moved and inspired by your performance.
This was an amazing arrangement. Well done. It looks deceptively easy to play but when looking closer it is tricky to figure out how to best play the right p i m a fingers. I always write down on the score/tab right and left hand fingers and it is very much needed on this arrangement. But it is time well spent figuring it out. Always learn something doing it yourself. Must admit I also could feel a tear in my eye when I played the last part of the piece( stumbled through really, can't play it well yet). Very emotional piece, started thinking about my dead stepfather.
This is a beautiful arrangement of my favorite Christmas song. I am just learning classical guitar and would like to eventually learn this beautiful song. Thanks for sharing!
Finally a new Christmas video from Mr. Gallagher. I am always happy when I see your new video. I hope you will want to offer one more before Christmas! Mao
atgblue1 Thanks dude, still working on it, the harder finger changes are still a chore, going to check out noel too. Maybe Xmas of 15 will be better for these hard ones and I'll go with the easier versing this year.
I learned the noel version, and put up a tutorial with his tabs. I dont' remember how good it was but you can check it out if it would help :) its a good Christmas song
Well done. I’m only a beginner myself but I hope to be able to play this soon. THANKS for sharing video and tabs. They have enabled me to begin straight away. Deeply appreciated Eddy Barry
What a beautiful and beautifully played arrangement! I have been looking for an arrangement for O Holy Night for a while. Thank you so much for the tab. I can only hope to be able to play it with as much feeling as you do.
+BrothaJeff My only problem is figuring out what hand positions will be the most efficient. So I can capture the most notes with the least about of hand movement.
I am also an autodidact guitar player. It's not that hard to fieger out the chord positions. For example the tab starts with the A major chord, After that in the 7 measure he uses D major chord formed from C major chord when you bar the second fret. You can bar all the strings or only the higher strings and the D bass string becouse it's much confortable for the next position. After that you should leave the pointing finger in the bar position and jump to the next progression putting the little finger on the sixth E higher string. When changing chords there is allways the principle of the less minimal move of the fingers when making transitions from a chord to another.. He is actually doing the same pattern as I described above.... After that.... is intuition and that's how I learned to play songs by my self using tab notation. It's hard becouse it require a lot of practice, until you develop muscle memory.
In the second measure if you build the A chord in the first measure using the pointing finger on G string, the middle finger on D string and the ring finger on B string you can use a minimal move of the fingers in the transition leaving the middle finger on D string, moving the pointing finger on the same string 1 fret up (onthe first fret), and pressing with the pinky finger the B string on the third fret... you can even leave the ring finger where it was in the A chord if you like All the transitions are made like this....
Beautiful just plain Beautiful
The best, purest, cleanest version on TH-cam. Very Good.

Amazing! This is very advanced for me but I'll try to learn it before Christmas. If not next years.
+BrothaJeff My only problem is figuring out what hand positions will be the most efficient. So I can capture the most notes with the least about of hand movement.
Well to start of an open a chord. Also in the score, cii and such means bar

After watching dozens of mediocre Christmas guitar videos yours was a breath of fresh air! Very nice!
