Recently, I was asked to play during several funerals, with the request being to "just play some hymns." When I began looking for material, I found a wealth of wonderful arrangements for fingerstyle guitar, but none of them were going to work for me in this situation. Naturally, I had only a few days' notice, so I wasn't going to learn and memorize complex arrangements, no matter how beautiful they were. Even the simplest arrangements I found were many pages long, and I didn't want to be turning pages during a funeral service, the way I would if I tried to read the music rather than memorize it. I also realized that in this setting, the focus wasn't on me, or how clever or complex the music was. I just needed to play appropriate music for the occasion that helped set the mood and that didn't detract from the service. Uncomplicated, melodic arrangements would be a plus. My solution forms the basis of this book - my own arrangements that are simple, almost "sketches" of an arrangement. What I decided I needed was a type of book known as a "fake book" in jazz circles - but for hymns - and designed for solo fingerstyle guitar. Jazz fake books are typically limited to just chord names and perhaps melody. I wanted a bit more than that - basically easily-playable arrangements with no complicated parts, and designed to be extended on the fly.

(Meredith Music Resource). Not only do old-fashioned hymns provide a spiritual benefit, they bring back fond memories of families at home or at worship lovingly joining together to sing. While contemporary religious music offers an important new genre, old-fashioned hymns merit special recognition for their contributions to generation after generation. This collection features the "top 20" hymns that have been around for years, but still convey powerful meaning to many folks. Each arrangement is carefully crafted to introduce and cultivate finger picking (some would say "classical style") guitar techniques. Positions and fingerings are clearly marked.
