Simply Hymns by Joe CollinsSimply Hymns is a collection of 32 favorite hymns. Most of these 42 pages of hymns can be played at a beginner level, noting only one string at a time, tabbed in bold characters, or played with added chords (numbers in normal font). There is a DAd book, a DGd version, and one for the DAA tuning. By becoming familiar with different tunings for the same songs, players will be able to discover the relationship between tunings and begin to discover which tuning they prefer for different songs.
