I expected too much from this book I think. The chords listed do not carry the melody of the songs very well. I think they are just meant for sing-along.
This is a very good Gospel songbook! Mel Bay makes it easy to follow and learn! Love it! Definitely a good addition to my music songbook collection! And a good buy for the money.
Perfect book for beginning kids on spiritual songs. Some real old time favorites. I enjoy singing out of it, myself.
This excellent songbook is the best I have ever seen for traditional gospel songs. And beginners and hobbyists will love that every song is a three-chord song.
Each song contains words, melody, and chords. The book contains a wealth of time-honored standards, including songs seldom found in print, such as “Farther Along,” “Somebody Touched Me,” “The Old Ship of Zion,” “We Shall All Be Reunited,” “Keep on the Sunny Side,” “A Beautiful Lie,” and many more.
Supplementary materials include a section on simple chord strums and another on transposing.
Several pickers in our bluegrass jam session have this and other books in the 101 Three-Chord series. The books provide indispensable reference for beginning and advanced traditional musicians and singers.
This book truly is a blessing. We have youngsters in our church with a desire to play guitar & banjo. Thankfully, I am not the only person in our church that plays, and we were in need of a universal music book to teach from, no matter which one of us was teaching. “Three-chord Hymns and Gospel Songs” has done the trick for us. Having all the songs in the key of G is perfect for the beginners. It even gives instruction for use of a capo to change keys. As an aside, I personally appreciate the black and white photos of song writers, singers, saints, and sites of the days of “The Old Time Religion. “
