Here is another useful resource from worshiptogether.com. This large A4 book has a host of modern songs mainly from the northern hemisphere, Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, David Crowder and Rebecca St James to name but a few. The piano and guitar score for all the songs are spread over several pages, so although the notation is easy to read there is a lot of page turning! The accompaniment is not for beginners and a lot of the keys are pitched high and require a capo or more advanced guitar chords. The latter are described diagrammatically at the end of each song. There are some useful indices at the front: one is thematic, another for each key and another by tempo while the book itself is laid out alphabetically according to song title. I liked the range of songs, but I'm not so sure about the layout. Certainly the book is worth a look and you'll need a large space on the shelf for this tome.
