How can we help you? Song selection? Singing? Leading as a cantor/songleader? Guitar skills? Sound system? An MP3 recording of a practice session? Would it be even better if the practice session was filmed and posted as a YouTube video? Would you like to have a careful, detailed explanation of how to play guitar chords?

Catholic hymnals include RitualSong (GIA), Gather I, Gather II, Gather Comprehensive (GIA), We Celebrate (GIA), Spirit & Song, Glory and Praise (OCP), Journeysongs (OCP), Flor y Canto Cantor (OCP), Crossgeneration (GIA), and Worship (GIA).
