Download or read book Early American Hymn Favorites for Classic Guitar written by Tanja Miric and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2019-06-13 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ten-hymn selection (including among others Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing and How Firm a Foundation) largely avoids chordal style harmonization, but rather employs the open strings of the instrument in a creative way to make the melody and accompaniment sound rich, vibrant and easier to play. Most arrangements are in standard tuning (with occasional dropped D tuning) and include extensive fingerings.
