For the covers we do in my band and praise team, I started making lead sheets that include: lyrics, vocal melody, chords w/guitar chord tab, bass tab/or bass line on bass clef staff. These are much easier to use than books because they are one or two pages. I can also include other instruments, i.e. keys, sax, horns, etc. The songs can be custumized to fit you band, and your vocal range, for those of you who don't have those Schlitt-high notes
.I use Finale notation software, and there is a free reader available at the Finale website. I have a degree in Music, and have been arranging for high school bands and combos for a while now.
I thought I would offer this to Petheads only. Now that Petra has retired -- kind of. I hope there are some local bands/praise teams/soloists that will keep their music alive.
Contact me if there is a song you are interested in.
Jason
