Click on the title of one of the favorite old hymns listed below to join in and sing and play along with us via video. The hymns here are performed on acoustic folk instruments. (So far we have autoharp, banjo, banjolele, banjomandolin, fiddle, flute, guitar, mandolin, piano, spoons, and ukulele - but keep watching. We're adding more regularly!) They're presented in different group formats - from solos and duets all the way to a whole roomful of folk jamming!
Find a familiar hymn or pick one you haven't heard before. The (easy!) chords and lyrics are included on the screen, so you can play along, or, if you prefer, you can print out the sheet music and follow along that way.
Use these to practice your instrument, get experience playing with a group, prepare for your own performance, expand your repertoire, or simply for fun. The more you play, the better you get. You'll soon find that you hear the chord changes coming without even looking at the screen.
Also, please give us feedback. We'd love to hear how you're using the site. When you learn one of the tunes, make a video and share it with us. We'll post it on the "You Do It!" page to share with the world. We're excited about your progress!

Why some videos are missing.
If you click on a video and get a "This Video is Private" message, it's because on September 4, 2024, YouTube inexplicably deleted the channel from which all videos on this site were shared. We have started a new channel and are working toward having all the videos restored as soon as possible. We invite you to subscribe to our YouTube Channel to access all videos as soon as they are posted
All pages still include lead sheets, tab, and hymn stories.
If you have specific songs you would like to see videos of, let us know and we'll try to prioritize them.
