I totally agree. I tried the guitar—NOT MY BAG. I really need to have music;  
 I’m willing to purchase sheet music if it is something I can use. I don’t 
lead services all that often, because I sub. But when I do, I like to 
sometimes try new pieces or  even introduce them to our regular soloist. But 
none of us has the time to figure out melodies from CD’s or lead sheets. Our 
congregation sometimes has a guitarist at a family service and for special 
services we have had instrumentalists accompany us.
