This fake book has all of your favorite hymns in the key of "C", with easy-to-read large music notation, simplified chords and includes all of the verses for sing along. It is perfect for beginners and has a binding that will lay flat on the music stand. All the well-known verses (including multiple) are included under the notes. Finally, unlike other fakebooks that try to crowd several songs together in one page, or split them between pages, this book fits one song per page with large readable type.

I knew there had to be an easier way to play piano. I'll never be a concert pianist, but I am able to enjoy playing for my own enjoyment. With the vocal training I have had, and an explanation of chords, I am able to play the old hymns I grew up with. This is easy and fun.

I love this Easy Hymn Fake Book and the Easy Gospel Fake Book both. Wish I'd have had some like it many years ago! They make playing so much easier. Piano or guitar! I even bought some extra for my new chord-style piano students. The large bold print is easy for my old eyes to read. I'm also impressed by the great chord selections and placements, just how my ear likes to hear the old songs of the Lord.

Your mother will love you if you play this quietly in the background. If you know how to read the melody and can learn to play chord, this one is for you. It is so easy if you do not know (like me) how to read all those notes on the left hand.

This book is absolutely fantastic for those who are new to keyboards and want to get started playing simple accompaniment right away. Most digital keyboards have a "transpose" feature that will let you keep playing in "C" while hearing the song in any key more suitable for the singers. More experienced players will also find this to be a good starting point for songs they don't have other arrangements for. For keyboard solos, the lead line is there in larger than normal print for easy reading on the fly. Every aspiring church keyboardist should own this and the other books in this series!!

Having just gone to Scott Houston's workshop, I needed/wanted a fake book to start using and learning new chords, with music worth playing...this is the book! Repetion of chords, songs which are familiar...perfect 1st book, I'm still enjoying, as I can also re-enforce them repeatedly.

Hello.... I bought these two books, Hymn and Gospel, for my wife who is taking piano. She is doing well at piano and has found that these books have given her more incentive to play. She has had them for about three weeks and she is still playing them. He teacher is actually going to use them to instruct my wife as she is not interested in theory as much as playing. I'm hoping she will be able to play at our Seventh-day Adventist church very soon. Hebrews 11:1

This is written with very simple chords. I am happy to have such a book in my possession. Great for beginner guitarists.

Totally enjoy this fake book. The various hymns it contains give me more than enough selections.
I use this often, both at home and for other events I play at.

i play a 4 string guitar and have purchased many of the easy fake books. the lead sheet type score is easy to read with the large print.
the service with amazon has been excellent and i have never had a lost book or damaged shipment.
