------------------------------------------------------------------------------ O HOLY NIGHT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tabbed by: ezD Email: makomeltdownff7@hotmail.com Tuning: EADGBe In the forms for the lead guitar part, the syllables are correctly lined up with there corresponding notes. There are also a million different ways to play the lead part, I'll include two, just because i find them to be the nicest sounding, though, if you wanted it probably would not be hard to fingerpick them at the same time, and basically just playing an alto, and a soprano part at the same time. Also note that in either of the forms, it doesn't matter, many of the notes in this song, being usually fairly held out, sound good with a tremolo effect. And it also sounds good if you use some slides in order to go from say the 2 to the 5 (you'll know what i mean), but those to effects are really the only things that sound good in this song without making it sound..."strange." ANOTHER note, is that you may want to, instead of playing all of those open e's, B's, and D's, just play the first of the string down from it. For example instead of playing an open e, play an e on the B string (5th fret). Because, like i said before, the notes are long an held out so just playing the open string makes it sound a little "twangy." First Form The first form is more of a minor sounding form, a little dare-I-say "jazzy..." I've noticed through give people the chords in this part, that it's little tough to get at first, but if you play a lot of jazz it shouldn't be much trouble for you. My friends and I play around with jazz a lot, and this part here, I apologize if the chords aren't placed very well, as i said, we generally like to jazz it up a little bit, and end up throwing unecessary chords and the similar in. So you may have to play around with the chord progression in order to get it to work. Intro: Am7 Am7 Verse 1:
