Hello everyone. I did an arrangement of the hymn "Abide with me" for guitar. Somehow I feel I just might add something to it. It could be work in progress. I posted a video on youtube and you can view it by following the link below.

Have a great day.

Lovely piece Lovemore and one I am very familiar with. It seemed to be a strong favourite in Wales and one would regularly hear it in church. Do you have the guitar music for it?

Thanks Teddy. Unfortunately, I arranged it by ear so there is no sheet music for it at the moment.
Lovemore Nanjaya.
fantastic work!
Enjoyed your performance. Always a favorite hymn.

Lovemore,
Very nice arrangement of this popular hymn ... one of my favorites of meditative type hymn-tunes.
very nice work. i enjoyed listening to that.
@Smudgedude, Teddy, Mr Bill and Krumhorn: Thanks for the comments. Its very encouraging to know that one's has in a way helped cheer, encourage, inspire or warm someone's heart up. Huge reason to keep playing. Thanks for the feedback. Have a great day, friends.

Yeah, in a way I did get inspired looking and listening here, and that's watching the whole song.
I got thinking about my own Scottish background, growing up in the choir of a church my parents helped start.
And I thought about the singing in the many different churches of the Niagara Peninsula,
where versions of "Abide With Me" would be sung.
That only reminded me of the sonorous sound I expect from most choirs,
and Krummhorn's previous comment about the meditative aspect of this song reflects the playing here,
made me think it again, still thinking more of a steadfast feel, than a contemplative one.
Nearer, my God, to thee. Yeah, a blinding light of love that can kill you or leave you soul dead,
or send you to lesser opportunities in a lesser life.
I'd have a hard time sitting still while all that's going on. And I've got high maintenance plans for heaven.
Yeah, I'll be anxious, a little, that's for sure.
Typed John Watt into Youtube and got..................The Singing Farmer. Is there something that you have not told us John?
