Shepherd Me, O God
Recently, a guitarist requested an arrangement of Shepherd Me, O God by Marty Haugen. So I gave it a try and it made a nice arrangement in the key of Em. One problem though. It was published by GIA and I only had a contract with OCP to publish my arrangements of hymns from their catalog. I reached out to GIA and they made me the same deal as OCP did a few years ago.
So I have now posted my arrangement for Shepherd Me, O God on the website and made a YouTube tutorial video on how to play it. You can find it listed near the very bottom of the HYMNAL page in the General Worship section for Sheet Music. It is one of my more difficult arrangements, but if you are a solid intermediate guitarist and up for a challenge, it is definitely playable with some practice.
Now here’s where I can use your suggestions. I’ve always been in parishes that use OCP materials, so I am unfamiliar with most of the GIA catalog. If you know any popular GIA hymns you would like to see arranged, drop me an email through the CONTACT ME link at the bottom of any page on the website and I will check them out. No guarantees, but it doesn’t hurt to ask. That’s how I got to Shepherd Me, O God.
Hello Jim. I just discovered…
