[HANASHIR:8638] Re: How do I start out songleading?

My question is, if you have a resource like the Chordster, but don't know the melodies, what do you do? I read music. But this is my first year in Jewish music. I've learned quite a bit so far, enough to get by. But, so much of what you get your hands on is just lyrics and chords. A musician cannot live on lyrics and chords alone...
