Welcome to the "Hymns Unleashed Project"
A while back, we realized some of the old fashioned hymns had some beautiful melodies, but alas, they seldom connect on an emotional level with younger people, or anyone for that matter that's looking for a more upbeat musical worship style.
That's when it occurred to us that we might "rearrange" some of them into a more contemporary style. Fortunately, we have a great friend who happens to be one terrific guitarist. We asked him to arrange an electric guitar version of "It Is Well With My Soul." WOW! Were we blown away at what he came up with. We liked it so much, we did a video of it so people could appreciate just how good it is.
Now, we're on a mission to do more. We'd like others to take a crack at it too, so we're inviting anyone with the musical talent to see what they can do. We ask only that they choose hymns with no copyright.
Time will tell what we do with it all, but we'd like to collect a dozen or so of these.
Check out the video below to get an idea of what we have in mind. This one has no lyrics, but feel free to do it anyway you like. If you're so inclined and talented, you might even attempt to apply some lyrics to ours.

It Is Well -- Unleashed
It Is Well With My Soul, Like You've Never Heard it before
We'd be interested what others think about the idea and Jesse's arrangement. Also, all you guitar enthusiasts, is can Jesse rip it or what?
Stick with it for at least 90 seconds......
