O Christmas Tree is a traditional German Christmas Carol, also known as O Tannenbaum. This arrangement on the 5-string banjo is in the key of G (standard tuning) and features a combination of the melodic technique and Scruggs style, played at a slow tempo in the 3/4 time signature and is suited to the intermediate picker. There are two variations, both down the neck and up the neck. It will be a great addition to your Christmas repertoire and a lovely fun tune to pick!
