About Me
Over the last twenty-something years I’ve been blessed to lead music worship services at several churches in the beautiful Appalachian mountains of Highlands North Carolina. It started in the small but historical Summer Chapel on Whiteside Cove in Highlands, NC. It’s a very popular 11 a.m. seasonal service from Memorial Day to Labor Day and draws local folks and tourists.
After Labor Day I play at The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Cashiers, NC until November. Those are in addition to my year-round Sunday music worship services at the Highlands, NC Methodist Church for their 9:09 bluegrass service, and The Highlands, NC Presbyterian Church as well as other requested performances where these songs are expected.
Here are 50 of the most requested songs I get asked to play. These are working chord sheets I’ve used in popular keys along with time signatures, and a basic chord intro for group sing-alongs.
Even if you are not a music worship leader, these are great songs to have in your song portfolio should you be in a situation to play familiar sing-along gospel standards. You can print these out in a book or use them on your phone or iPad, which is what I do now.
Knowing the melody beforehand is essential as I do not include sheet music. You can view the melody on my YouTube channel “How I Play Gospel Songs on Guitar” and see how I play the song then, refer to these sheets. Enjoy!
