So I started to find out the chords and melody to Silent Night and learn it on piano. That's when I thought it'd be fun to make some kind of collaboration or challenge out of it. So here's the deal: - Learn to play Silent Night on any number of instruments - Record a video of yourself playing and post it until 24th December Anyone can join (instructors too!) and it can be as simple or complex as you like. Just the melody, or just the chords and singing, jazzy version, with solo etc. Be creative. It can be a single-track or multi-track recording with multiple instruments. The only requirements are: - It must contain the Silent Night melody at least once - Record all instruments yourself (or create synths, drum patterns etc), don't use backing tracks Anyone interested? We might even make one of those slick collab medley videos in the end You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

If you don't mind I would like to ask you what Key are you playing this in? And do you just play over the track I see? I know the instructions talk about no backing tracks, but I still would like to understand it........... Thanks. I would love to take a try at it.

I just got the chords from ultimate-guitar and put together a backing track with it. Nothing special, just the string ensemble. I played it in a major. I'm not sure if that's the "original" key though. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I'm sorry that I couldn't help particularly more. All I did was get the chords, write them in Guitar Pro, export the midi and import it in my DAW, Reaper, and choose a sound, and then I played the melody on top. But as said, it's done very quickly, in a matter of minutes, so it could be better! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Without a common backing, it will be seriously challenging to put it together as a collab simply due to folks playing in entirely different keys, at different speeds etc. But just attemping to put something like that together would be a great workout in musical editing to be sure!!

I will try to make it work somehow but that's not the point here. It's about creating a song recording yourself. You don't even need to provide a backing. klasaine didn't do that as well. Just make it recognizable If you manage with a single instrument, great! I'll probably upload my own version next week You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
