The 'How To Master Finger Picking' course is now in a book and DVD format. The new name is 'Jean Welles Worship Guitar Class(TM) - Mastering Finger Picking.' This new book is currently shipping to the retail stores and is available on the website. It has 12 lessons with both song accompaniments and instrumental solos. The last song is a Flamenco piece with techniques like the tremolo, the tambour and the rasgueado.
Want to learn 68 hymns in guitar friendly chords? The Guitar Hymnal book and CD have 68 hymns. This is great for the Christian guitarist. You can have all these hymns in easy to play guitar keys for personal worship, or in your small group or church. The book is by Steve Turley. It's one of two new worship and praise books we've started carrying.
This book recently came to my attention. It has easy to play arrangements for violin and piano. I could see some of you using the songs in this book for playing in church or small group settings. It's so important to start playing in front of 'audience' as a new player of any instrument.
The only thing I wish it had were the guitar chords too! Although, it wouldn't be terribly difficult to figure them out. Can you imagine, a family with a violist, pianist and guitarist having material like this to play together? They look like very lovely arrangements for the beginner to intermediate player.
Last weekend my Women's Bible Study attended a simulcast with Beth Moore. There were over 500 churches in 8 countries participating. Over 90,000 women were looking into the treasures in God's Word. He had given us such wonderful promises!
The particular study last weekend was on Psalm 37 and focused on Psalm 37:4. I've always loved this verse and see that God changes our desires to more more like His desires. He gives us the desire to worship Him and inspires people to write such beautiful worship songs! (Will be announcing the next Worship Contest soon.)
Psalm 37:4 says:
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Beth had a good visual for us to remember, using verses in Psalm 37. She suggested looking at your JAW if we weren't delighting in God. More on Delight Yourself In The Lord
God has made such a wonderful variety of foods for us to enjoy. One of my favorite meals is combining His fruits and vegetables in healthy smoothies. I made a short video to give you some ideas for making your own drinks. More on Healthy Smoothies
