Name: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Duration: P00H02M36S
Description: I set myself the challenge of reharmonizing this old Christmas tune from 1760. It's a solo guitar performance. I am playing fingerstyle on acoustic guitar. I tried to keep the melody floating over the thumb and fingers underneath stating the harmony and keeping things moving in an interesting way. Let me know what you think

lyrics

God rest ye, merry Gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ our Saviour
Was born upon this Day.
To save poor souls from Satan's power,
Which long time had gone astray.
Which brings tidings of comfort and joy
