Guitar-man

My guitar music folder is expanding by the day. The songs from my guitar teacher in the UK consisted mostly of 60's & 70's songs, these are being pushed to the back of my folder by a diverse collection of music. I am playing my guitar in a variety of places and so I have to make sure I take the correct music with me. A couple of weeks ago at the 'Woman's day of prayer' I was playing 'Amazing Grace' with 2 chords, because the accompanying piano was so out of tune the pianist had to avoid certain notes. Life is a little easier in the hospital chapel where most of the time I play solo, but there is a huge diverstiy of songs at the different services: at one service we use Tabernacle Hymns from the 1960's with hymns such as 'Count your blessings'; at another service we use an Arabic chorus book with songs like 'uhibbuka rabbi yasuu'; and on Sunday evenings more modern hymns and songs, including 'How great is our God'. In our adult English lesson 'Summertime' has been used to add variety to a lesson; and at school good old favourites like 'The wheels on the bus'. At the end of the week I appreicate the chance to sit down and play 'Here comes the sun', 'Blackbird' and 'Yesterday' - you still can't beat those classic Beatles songs. P
