’Silent Night’ guitar lesson for beginners:
Silent Night Fingerstyle Classical Guitar Lesson
For this Silent Night classical guitar lesson, apply fingerstyle technique to fingerpick the arpeggios and use the thumb to strum chords. With basic fingerpicking technique, assign the first, second, and third fingers to pluck the third, second, and first strings respectfully.
For this Christmas Holiday classical guitar lesson, Silent Night is played at a slow tempo, so the primary focus should be on the clarity of all the notes being played rather than the speed.
When strumming the chords of Silent Night, let the 2nd, 3rd, & 4th strings of the ’Dsus2’ chord ring or sustain while the first string notes that follow are being played. Throughout this Silent Night guitar lesson, try to have all strummed chords sustain while the following individual notes are played. When shifting up from ‘D3’ to ‘A7sus4’, keep the 3rd finger ‘anchored’ along the 3rd string when sliding up to the 12th fret.
Line 2 of this Silent Night guitar lesson corresponds to the ‘Round yon virgin...’ lyrics. The ‘G/D’ chord shape in Silent Night lesson is fretted the same as an open ‘D’ chord.
In Line 3 of this Silent Night guitar lesson, Line 3 begins with and corresponds to the ‘Sleep in heavenly peace...’ lyrics. For the ‘A7-D7’ chord change in Section 1, simply move or slide the 3rd & 4th fingers together up 3 frets. In Section 2, use very slight vibrato (focus more on sustain) for the note played on the 14th fret. In Section 3, simply shift the same chord shape down the from the 10th fret position to the 5th fret position. Try to have the bass note of the ‘D5’ ring or sustain while the remaining arpeggiated notes are fingerpicked.
Additional Notes: This Silent Night guitar lesson is in the Key of ‘D’ Major (‘D’, ‘G’, & ‘A’). All of the ‘sus2’, ‘7th’, ‘sus4’, and ‘slash’ (/) chords of ’Silent Night’ are ‘D’, ‘G’, & ‘A’ triads with slight alterations, making this holiday guitar song essentially based on just three chords.
Silent Night Song Facts
The lyrics to the holiday song Silent Night were written in 1816 by a young priest named Father Joseph Mohr from Austria. The melody to the holiday song ’Silent Night’ was composed by Franz Xaver Gruber, a schoolmaster and organist.
The holiday song Silent Night was was first performed on Christmas Eve 1818 at St Nicholas parish church in Oberndorf, a village in the Austrian Empire. Before Christmas Eve, Mohr brought the lyrics of Silent Night to Gruber and asked him to compose a melody and guitar accompaniment for the Christmas Eve mass, after river flooding had damaged the church organ. The church was eventually destroyed by repeated flooding and replaced with the Silent-Night-Chapel.

The objective of this video series is to help establish a foundation of guitar fundamentals by applying various playing techniques (rhythm, fingerstyle, and soloing) to various styles of music. The more playing styles and techniques a guitarist can learn, the more diverse and self-sufficient a guitarist will become. A self-sufficient guitarist can then teach themselves, communicate with other musicians, and even write their own music once a solid foundation of fundamentals is established.
The Creative Guitarist Method Series was written and designed by Kevin J. Paluzzi of Paluzzi Guitar Instruction in San Diego, CA. For more information on private lessons and books, go to:
San Diego Guitar Lessons
There really isn’t any one particular playing style or technique required in order to classify someone as a guitarist. For example, Andres Segovia, the Beatles, and Carlos Santana are all considered legendary performing guitarists, but each has his own particular style or technique (fingerstyle, strumming, and soloing) for playing. This Creative Guitarist series of books and videos are designed with a ‘pick and choose’ topic format (songwriting, soloing, etc.) so that once the Guitar Basics are completed, the guitarist can decide to focus on whatever topic they wish to study.
