Thanks for watching and have a happy Christmas too. Have a look at "Leise rieselt der Schnee" only 8 bars and easy too.Hard to think of snow when its 35 degrees, you probably have similar weather?

Thanks for explaining it! Now tried it with one note melody. It will work well soon. Than want to try the second note. So far it is helpful that I played it with accordion and guitar too. It was like a dream to be able to play it with Zither. Now it is a good beginning and practice each day some time and feel it is getting better especially with chord strings. Which is not easy. Fingers are not used to it. But try it even if litte pains start on the top of the fingers and try to play notes as clear as possible with no disturbing sounds. It is a great Challenge. Greetings from Germany.

Yes Silent Night (it's a Very good English Translated Version of Stille Nacht) or as it's called in Spanish Noche De Paz. I can actually sing this one while strumming along on my Zither because the Zither can also be used to accompany the human voice & it's also great as a Singer-Songwriter instrument.

Thanks (Gracias) for watching. Yes you can use the zither as an accompaniment instrument, similar to a guitar. You can play chords both on the open strings and also on the fretboard,(see my instruction video). Helps if you have a good voice though .😏

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@zithergirl It can be used as an Accompaniment instrument like a Guitar, Piano, Piano Accordion, or even a Mandolin. I have a great singing voice & lucky me I can use Finger picks on all 5 fingers to strike the strings more easily & get a sharper attack out of the zither.

@@zithergirl Strings for German Zither actually have Ball Ends on the ends of them (they're Flat Ball Ends) that go over the pins. The Fretted Strings can be Phosphor Bronze Flatwound, Nickel Flatwound, or Silver Plated Copper. The Unfretted Strings are Silver Plate Copper wound around a Nylon Core, a Nylon & Steel Core, or a Silk n Steel Core (Green, Blue, & Red).
