Sacred Hymns of the Old Church Companion CD On the companion CD, Joe plays each hymn in this book just as written. He plays through the one-page hymns 3 times and the two-page hymns twice. The first time(s) through, the hymn is played simply. On the last time through, however, some extra filler notes are added to give you a sense of what it may sound like using different picking patterns. You are certainly not tied into making your arrangement sound like Joes, but the CD may be helpful to those trying to learn these hymns.
