Help needed please
Hi,
My name is David. I am a member of a Worship group here in Spain. I am a newcomer to the Church, and have been a semi-pro musician for quite some time, but never heard much in the way of worship music before coming to Christ, and finding this church.
So now I am honoured to have been accepted both by the church and accepted as guitarist in the worship group. However, I am convinced that the way the music has been annotated is incorrect, even though I have never heard most of the original versions - most of the songs are translated from English into Spanish, but many of the chords are incorrect. But the main problem is that there are so many songs for me to learn, and although I am quite able to play by ear, having improvised in many different styles before playing this music, what I cannot do is play the arrangements they want me to play. Mostly because whether in Spanish or in English I have great difficulty finding recordings of most of the pieces.
I have a long alphabetical list of worship songs. I did not want to post that list, before first of all finding out whether or not this was the best place to post it, and also before knowing whether this would be something people on this forum might be willing to help with.
I have to learn 6 new songs each week, so perhaps the best thing I could do would be to post the first few, in the hope that someone here can tell me the name of the originals in English, as well as who originally recorded them, and perhaps where I can find at least the correct chords. I really don't have time to sit down and work them out and still be able to practice by the weekend.
I have been playing all the songs completely by ear for the past couple of months, and the problem is that without knowing which are the correct chords, I cannot correct the music we have.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post, and I hope someone will be inspired to offer their help.
God Bless.
David
