4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive mixture of hymns, spirituals, modern, December 16, 2003

This review is from: Gospel's Greatest (Fake Books) (Plastic Comb)

This fake book has a very comprehensive listing of old time hymns, traditional spirituals, gospel songs of the past century and some contemporary praise songs. The type-face is small typical of fake books, and songs are crammed in. Lyrics and verses are included, as well as the chords. There is also a reference of guitar chord finger patterns at the end of the book. The entire book lays flat, having the plastic tabbed binding. Songs are listed alphabetically making them easy to find. Very nice reference, and songbook for all "C" instruments, as well as keyboards, vocals and guitar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gospel's Greatest (Fake Book), March 9, 2007

This review is from: Gospel's Greatest (Fake Books) (Plastic Comb)

This is one of our family's favorite Christian song books. We use it pretty much every day. It is great for keyboard and guitar players. If you know chords it is great for the piano player too. (It only contains the notes for the right hand with the left hand chords to be played) All songs have the words to sing/Lyrics so you can sing as you play. It contains over 450 songs and gives you cues how to play the song. To play the song Tenderly, Prayerfully, Lively, Joyfully are just to mention a few. If you are looking for a song book to appeal to all types of people and skill levels this is the book for you.

This review is from: Gospel's Greatest (Fake Books) (Plastic Comb)

I've had my guitar for a year and could only play a few songs and a few chords because I didn't have sheet music to go by. I broke down and bought a few books, this being one of them. It has helped me tremendously. I was able to pick up on a few more chords and play many more songs. I was also able to easily change songs to a different key to make it more chord friendly and I just did that by playing around with the chords I know. It is definately a good book for beginners who are looking for the old time hymns and gospel songs. I now play my guitar almost everyday and with 2 toddlers that's not always easy, but I really enjoy being able to play songs and sing along.
