I'm 70 from Scotland and relearning after 45 years when I never practiced enough to learn, so this is great motivation to learn for my first grandchild's first Christmas. Thanks Steve for your time and dedication, Merry Christmas in 2020

[@thaddpresley]

I'm 42 and am also starting to learn finger picking. I play bass and guitar but mostly grooving and leading. I'm finding the memorization dreadful. I'm hoping religious songs will give me more of a reason to stick with it. Thank you for this tutorial. I appreciate it.

😢✌🏼

[@simeskelin-croat6917]

Merry Christmas and God Bless you Steve,your family and all people who watch this.

[@MrDwasser]

I love the simplicity of your approach. Play the song first, break it down to the basic notes and finger positions, add in a little fill here and there but still emphasizing the need to walk before we run. Well done.

[@dad-eguitar4137]

Never mind the video, your calming voice makes it so much easier to listen and learn! What a great lesson!

[@geoffivanbongosia4579]

I watch this every Christmas.

[@davidosterberg9400]

I put a capo in the 2nd fret position and played it in the key of"A" and sounds really beautiful ! Thanks for the awesome lesson. It's a song that you can run with and be creative😎

[@rogerbullock4417]

playing in A also shortens that pinky stretch on the fifth measure.

[@jimk1970]

I appreciate the "how to play it." What I appreciate even MORE is how you explain what you do and WHY - for instance "not stepping over the melody when fingerpicking." Thanks a bunch! I really appreciate you and your awesome courses! :) Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@mikeford8720]

Steve i don't normally comment on U tube guitar lesson videos as very few of them are complete or simple to follow, but i have to say your lessons, and this one in particular are excellent. You keep it simple, teach it slowly step by step and explain only what is necessary to succeed in achieving the goal i.e. being able to play the song correctly at the end in a reasonable timescale. Very well done mate it's refreshing to find someone who can not only play but teach so effectivly, many thanks mike

Got to say this is the best lesson on KZbin for this song, very easy for me to follow along with what you were doing, thank you = )

[@chadmartin3229]

Uncle E I ageee,Steve has great teaching technique,I’ve learned Lot from all his lessons.

[@lovetofishneosheo1829]

Think of all the families sitting around singing this at Christmas time because of this lesson. Thank you

[@alejandraponce2009]

This is a really hepful video! The guy knows what he is talking about and explains real well! Thanks!

[@madonnawarnken849]

Excellent instruction. Loved the instruction on the chord bass strings being played simultaneously with the higher pitch strings. I've only been playing about a year - pretty much just rhythm playing in support of Cajun fiddlers. To watch this picking exercise, and then be able to play this beautiful picking rendition of Silent Night was a very happy MILESTONE for me. Thank you! Again, excellent style of instruction.

[@zwurltech9047]

Very welcome for 2019! Thank you and greetings from an 58j beginner!

[@tammyaikman1990]

Once again I come back to Steve, because I love the way he teaches , I learned dust in the wind from you buddy , thanks again for a simple but good example of a song !!

[@grahamlloyd8479]

Awesome Man, thanks so much! Ill be playing and my father will be singing this over Christmas. He has alzheimer's and dementia but is still able to remember songs and sing ;-) Much appreciated!

[@Guitarzoom]

[@royeckerle2494]

I practiced until my fingers were sore. When I finally got it, I got on Facebook and played for family and friends. Got a great response from everyone. Thanks

[@matthewlysne]

Thank you Steve, this is the very first complete song I have ever learned to play on the guitar (it's rough, but, as you say, that's okay!) :)
