Fingerpicking Praise

Many books marketed to guitarists - especially Christian music - claim to be "arranged for guitar" and turn out to be just lead sheets with chords, also known as a "fake book," not really arranged for any particular instrument. This book is a shining exception. The book is truly arranged for guitar. The arrangments are at once sonically tasteful and very playable. The notation is generously suplemented by realistic fingerings, and the tab is clearly written by a real guitarist and not computer-generated. The print and typography are also quite clear and easy to read.For a student guitarist who is in limbo between the beginner and intermediate levels, these arrangements would make excellent learning pieces that could be confidently played in or out of church. For the advanced guitarist, these pieces could nearly be sight-read but sound good enough to be pleasing to an audience accustomed to advanced musicianship.I'm a bivocational music leader and have been using this book in our worship services. I plan to purchase "Fingerpicking Hymns" in hopes that its quality will be similar to that of this book.

I really like this collection of worship songs for guitar. You could put two guitars on this. We could do fingerpicking the other could do chording. We will use this for communion.

Is more of an intermediate level. For an advanced player this might be boring or too easy.

I love the song selection and how easy these books are to learn from.

All quite easy; some arrangements (Jesus My Lord, He Is Exalted) work better than others (Shine Jesus Shine). Worth the price for adding a few pleasant, quick to learn, contemporary arrangements suitable for worship quiet moments (offertory, prelude, postlude, meditation, etc.)

Awesome music !!! I love this book

Great arrangements for intermediate fingerpicking players. I like this whole series.

Easy to place with guitar friendly keys.

Very happy with this book

Ideal!
