Location: Flahdaw | Since we're all in the holiday spirit, SWMBO asked me to play some songs for our Christmas party last week, so I came up with four. I was fooling around with the high strung guitar and I thought they all sounded better using it. The 4 were...
The Christmas Song
Silver Bells
Bells Were Ringing
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Anyway, I recorded this with my Zoom Q3, with the video camera pointed at a giant shirt (hehe). The Nashville tuning sometimes sounds like more than one guitar.

I had a guitar in here once that had Nashville tuning and I played with it for a while. It was fun. Maybe I'll have to try it again. |

So...
"high strung"? What's the tuning? |

Location: Yalova/Turkey | Tried to find the chords, but what I found didn´t seem to match the ones you are playing... What I found is: Em - C - B7, Em - C - B7, Am - G - Em D, Chorus: G - B7 - Em - D, G - B7 - Em...
Don´t know whether its just my ears... But if you wouldn´t mind, could you share your chords? If you don´t like to, I´d understand, but you´d make me very happy... |

You won't find tabs 'cos I made up the arrangement.
Guitar is in standard tuning, don't remember what fret the capo was on.
Starts in Am...pretty much a bass walk down.

God rest ye merry gentle men let
x33210, 022100
nothing you dismay (repeat)
xx0231, xx0221, xx0211, 022100
to save us all from satans power
002210, 302010, 200230, 100030
when we were gone astray oh
002210, 302010, 200230, 100030
tidings of com fort
x33210, x55430
joy, comfort and joy
002013, 022100 002210
oh, tidings of comfort and joy |

Regards, Chris. |
