I bought this book about a year ago and has been playing though the songs and post them to YouTube. Most of the arrangements are for intermediate level fingerstyle players. If you know fingerpicking, you can add hammer-on and pull-off to make the song sound fuller, I highly recommend this book. If you want to sample some of the songs or tabs, go to YouTube and find my channel "hofei". Happy playing!

I bought this book after learning the songs in another book by Hal Leaonard (Fingerpicking Hymns 15 songs). This one is a bit more difficult but both have tabs and a good song selection. I would say intermediate level. A few songs with alternate tuning (drop D). Best suited for nylon strings but I suppose any guitar will do. I've received positive feedback after playing a variety of these songs for special music or offeratory during church service.

This is a nice "pick-up-and-play" book with nice arrangements of some great hymns. As with any guitar tab you need to work out your fingering, but these arrangements are built around common chords which makes the fingering easier. Christian guitarists will really appreciate this book.
