I’m not sure where to put this question, but it doesn’t quite fit in the Song Help or Tab forums...so I’ll post this issue here.
I am looking at a couple of ukulele books that are worship books...Hal Leonard’s Worship Hits for Ukulele and Alfred’s 2015 Worship Hits for Ukulele.
I’m not looking to open a religious debate here (please don’t go there), but my local music store doesn’t have either of these books (I looked) and Amazon doesn’t give a preview of the songs (or a song). The HL book is on iBooks, but the preview stops before presenting any music.
I’m wondering if anyone on UU has these books, and if you can tell me if they are lead sheets (showing traditional notation melody with chords, like the Daily Ukulele/Yellow Book), chord charts (text only with chords, like ukutabs.com), or tablature?
I have also looked online to see if these books are out there on the interwebs...but they aren’t. So any place I would normally preview a book has come up short.
I have asked my church (a larger multi-site church) if I could start a ukulele small group dedicated to hymns and praise & worship music (waiting to hear back about an OK to do it) and would like to start, at least, with existing materials. I prefer lead sheets (I read music) to chord charts, and can transcribe...but it is nice to have materials to go off of in what should already be ukulele friendly keys. I’ll probably end up buying both books anyway...but I thought I would ask first.
Thanks for any feedback you might have about the books.
