Way, way oldschool

I was listening to Hiding Place, by Selah, and looked up this one. Great, great fun to play.

But WOW do those old hymns use a LOT of chords! I don't mean variety (although they usually have a fair bit of that), but hymns change chord a lot compared to more modern stuff. In some parts of this hymn, it's a new chord every syllable. Just as well the singer is never in too much of a hurry then :) Practicing stuff like this can only make me a better player, provided I don't just get sloppy.

I used to walk past charles wesley's home everyday - tiny little stone "shed" next to his east london mission, no white suits and tele show for him.

With a lot of that sort of older type stuff, to play on guitar you can pretty much just stick to the main chord changes, maybe fill in a bit (pick) for the rest if need be. Doing that often makes them sound better too rather than trying to play every chords as it's written.
