Elevate Your Worship: Mastering Guitar Techniques 2.0
In this worship guitar lesson series, we'll be be reviewing some creative worship guitar techniques that will teach you how to play over several common worship songs.
In the first guitar class, we’ll cover guitar intervals for major chords. We’ll cover discuss some basic music theory and chord structures that you can incorporate when playing many of today’s top worship, country, and pop songs. This simple concept of playing root notes alongside an ascending interval note not only create great melody’s, but they make playing your guitar more fun. This is part of a series where we’ll cover the following:
1. Rhythm guitar and lead guitar chord intervals that you can play over multiple genres including Country guitar progressions, Praise and Worship guitar, Pop guitar progressions, and even blues music. We’ll also cover worship guitar chord inversions to use in multiple live situations such as a big band or even a one man band.
2. You'll have a better understanding of common guitar picking techniques like drones and pedal-toning; both of which are common guitar techniques used by professionals in the recording studio and when playing live.
3. That beautiful ambient reverb sound so commonly used in Praise and Worship guitar progressions.
4. How to pair a reverb pedal along with an overdrive pedal, and tremolo pedal, to get that perfect Worship guitar tone or Country guitar tone used in Nashville studios.
5. How to use reverb drones, chord intervals, octaves, and the CAGED system to create great sounding rhythm guitar. And also how to create some unique and catchy guitar lead lines used in all those ear candy guitar tracks in the songs you hear on the radio.
