8 Chords 100 Songs Worship Guitar Songbook: 8 Simple Chords, 100 Great Songs - Third Edition

I am a worship leader and bi-vocational pastor. I also teach beginning guitar to Junior High & High School students. This book is GREAT for both. I use it for worship services because even novice musicians can follow along. By using this book, budding guitarists can participate on the praise team after just a few months of practice. If you don't like the key they are written in, simply capo up a few frets and enjoy! The book is broken up into sections. It starts out with a large section (over 25) of contemporary worship songs (Everlasting God, God of Wonders, Indescribable, etc.), followed by a section of 15-20 well-known and well-loved hymns (Amazing Grace, I'll fly away, The wonderful cross, etc.), then a section of Christmas Carols (Silent Night, First Noel, Away in a Manger, etc. About a dozen or so of them.) and even includes an entire section of children's songs (Jesus Loves Me, The B-I-B-L-E, Father Abraham, etc.) that are VERY useful for the little ones, and a small section of well-known patriotic tunes (God Bless America, America the Beautiful, etc.) I own many songbooks that I've acquired over almost 3 decades of playing music. This book is the ONLY one that stays in my guitar case. It's everything you need with none of the fluff. By far the most useful songbook I've ever owned. I have bought copies for many of my students, and even another worship leader that is a friend of mine. I have been asked to play a few times at different Christian events without any warning (FCA meetings, church camp, etc.), and I just pop this book out & play away! WELL worth the money!

I’m a beginner guitarist and I only know 8 chords at this point. There were about 20 songs that are totally playable and those are just the ones I’ve tried so far. If the song contained a chord I didn’t know, there was a chord chart right there on the page that I could refer to.

Wow! I have been learning to play guitar for the last few months, and I was getting to a point where I wanted to branch away from beginner books, but didn't want to have to research most of the chords when learning a new song or trying to play for others. This book has excellent tips, and a nice selection of songs that I know and can sing along with. I still haven been able to access the worshiptheking songs to learn them, otherwise I would rate 5 star. I feel confident that I could take this to a campfire, caroling, nursing home, children's worship setting and be able to easily play through several songs that people are familiar with. The strumming pattern tips are useful as well as the additional chords. Having songs I enjoy and can sing along with encourages me to practice more.

Easy to read chords and nice songs.

Great book👍👍

The book is excellent with all the chords for each song posted above the song title. However, some of the songs require in excess of 15 chords to play, so I would not necessarily say they are all "easy", at least not for a remedial beginner such as I. But again, I love the book. It exceeded my expectations and I would most assuredly recommend it to others.

Song book was alright but not what I expected songs not that good very few you would know from church and the chords don't always seem to match song or strum pattern. But good enough for a beginning so was ok.

I liked that it came quickly in the mail. I was kind of surprised, that it didn't have musical notes, as it was just songs with guitar notes above the words (which is great). I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend to anyone learning the guitar.

Some challenging chords and strumming patterns.

Great for a learning some new song whilenon holidays.

Nice to have this book for newer worship songs

Disappointed that most of these tunes introduce chords that don’t sit well in the hymns. A nice idea poorly implemented. Comparing tune in the book to those available on the web there is no competition - I feel I have wasted my money.

I'm very happy with this song book. Having this big collection of popular worship songs makes me more excited to practice. They are great song picks. I'm glad they put some older hymns in here too. Right now, I'm really loving the old song "I'll Fly Away". Thanks guys!
