Anyone have a recommendation for a fingerstyle hymn/worship songbook for beginner/intermediate?

@gmills  Steve has a Fingerpicking Hymns book that I believe he sells in his online store.    I picked one up at the last Gathering.   It has about 15 hymns in it that are geared toward beginner/intermediate.   I’m still very much a novice when it comes to fingerstyle and I’ve been able to work through several of these hymns.

@gmills.    Just to be clear, these aren't Steve's arrangements.   It's a Hal Leonard book.      I've heard Steve talk about putting out a book with some of his arrangements, and there are probably a lot of us that would love to see that.    He has shared a few during live lessons in the past.    For example, he shared his arrangement of "It is Well with My Soul" around Easter time last year so it might be available on a download.      He is also starting that new Academy Series soon where we will get 4 hymn arrangements from him along with instruction.   Might be worth considering.  He usually has material arranged to fit players of varying levels of experience.

Yep.  Understood.  I worked thru the "It Is Well" lesson.  I was looking for a book with some easier arrangements.  Already signed up for the Hymns series.  I'm a flatpicker wanna be.  Trying some new things after our bluegrass group fell apart last year.  Really been in a slump for far too long.  I enjoy playing for my Lord, and if I can't play with a group it will be well with my soul if I can pick up some fingerstyle solo stuff😁
