FORMATTED FOR TWO-SIDED PRINTING: Internationally acclaimed acoustic guitarist Ellsworth ("El") McMeen has been arranging hymns and other spiritual music for guitar for over 30 years. He started in standard guitar tuning, but moved away from that tuning into various so-called "open" tunings. He has been called the "King of CGDGAD tuning," in light of his prolific arrangements and compositions in that lush and evocative tuning. This major work of spiritual music contains 26 guitar settings of hymns, spirituals, and gospel songs, all lovingly arranged for solo fingerstyle guitar in the CGDGAD tuning. This book contains a chord chart for the aid of the reader. El is included in the Digitaldreamdoor listing of the 100 Greatest Acoustic Guitarists. https://tinyurl.com/GreatestGuitarists Many of El's recordings are described here: https://store.cdbaby.com/Artist/ElMcMeen

Song list:
A charge to keep I have
And can it be that I should gain
Arise, my soul, arise!
Blow ye the trumpet, blow!
Christ the Lord is risen today
Christ, whose glory fills the skies
Come, Holy Ghost
Come, let us anew
Come, let us with our Lord arise
Come, thou long-expected Jesus
Depth of mercy! Can there be
Forth in Thy name, O lord, I go
Hail the day that sees Him rise
Jesus, lover of my soul
Jesus, Thine all victorious love
Life
Lo, He comes with clouds descending
Love divine, All loves excelling
O for a heart to Praise my God
O for a thousand tongues to sing
O love divine, how sweet thou art
Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Thou hidden source of calm repose
