wish you all had put a PDF showing the chord shapes on here for download. Great video though!

[@DxPxOfficial]

This is great! I’m a long time bedroom guitarist who recently joined my church’s worship team, so needless to say it’s all been a very big learning experience and this helped a lot!

[@moltpong]

Been waiting for this for ages!!!! Please make more of these!!

[@4cooldog99]

[@danielmorales759]

CaptainZuzlike nice man thanks this is awsome for shortcuts to go back when you finish watching. I appreciate this God bless u

[@rodantegutierrez4308]

thank you man! Godbless

[@guit4rguy]

Quick tip. When you want to move to the relative minor when using the D shape, instead of playing a barre chord, place your pinky 2 frets above on the G string to play a minor chord without making the chord thicker. Here is a major chord (using D shape) G string 7th fret, B string 8th fret, E string 7th fret. For the relative minor this would be, G string 9th fret, B string 8th fret, E string 7th fret.

[@davemessenger3610]

This is a fantastic lesson! This was a great explanation of the chords used in modern worship music today!

[@McPaulish]

perfect timing for worship practice tonight!! thank you

[@benburoker5192]

This video connected a few dots for me on chords that I just hadn’t thought of before. Thank you so much!

[@frankesposito2165]

Just wanna let you know how grateful I am of you guys. Y'all taught me so much. God bless.

[@solomonkonwar5893]

Really appreciate worship tutorials.. Keep them videos coming. It's really helpful. Let's keep it in our prayer that more people will see this and use it to bring praises to our Lord throughout the world.

[@grizzmack12]

Love this series. They've been very useful for me switching from acoustic to electric. The more voicings you want to share the better!

[@derekmunroe1530]

This explains a bunch to me. I started many years ago playing the electric with all power chords, as of the past few decades I’ve been mainly playing acoustic and recently got back to playing the electric on my worship team. This helps big time thx 👍🏻

[@fenelgabon4100]

Such an amazing teacher. God bless you!

[@sirtreebeard8106]

I remember when I first learned triads it completely changed how I played electric guitar. These are really great tips!

[@zachpfeif]

Dude. That guitar is gorgeous!

[@lynkisner6912]

I’ve been playing for twenty years and this is one of the best lessons I’ve ever seen. Bradford, you do an amazing job in each of your videos and I appreciate all your time and hard work! Thank you for all that you do and for serving Christ!

[@bmitchellmusic]

Lyn Kisner thanks Lyn! Really appreciate that!

[@JustenHarden]

[@TheDrewSmyther]

[@mlc3ifly]

[@swangrant3581]

[@d-dialogues564]

Just love this lesson Thanks for teaching this stuff❤

[@DIDCHOI]

More videos like these please. This and the last were awesome!

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

This is actually a fantastic Chord lesson. Nobody does these anymore on KZbin, can only get stuff like this with pay lessons now.

[@ClayToTreasure]

You still can find them for free, but it's all over the place unlike in this lesson. I literally spent weeks to piece together information about triads from other videos

[@orlandomorales5423]

look up the caged system that's where a lot of these shapes come from. Really learn the notes on the guitar and the theory of how chords are built, once you know that then you could build chords all over the neck.

[@davidlinch2130]

hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to discover learn to play easy christian guitar songs try Fezervin Teeth System Coach (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend got amazing results with it.

[@annasingle16]

There are many factors in good worship guitar courses. One place I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Worship fixer formula (check it out on google) definately the best plan i've heard of. Check out the great info .

[@kevinguerrier8431]

Bradford thank you! I have saved this and will rewatch several times.

[@darthmaxo]

Great lesson for musicians looking to understand lead guitar better!

[@deannatale8349]

Why’d it take me so long to find something like this? No one talks about these methods but they’re so helpful and should’ve been the first thing I learned when approaching electric

[@pastorwarreng9775]

Good info, thank you!

This was very helpful! I know you can take a lot from this video and apply it, but i would love to see a video on leading from electric. Haven’t really found any

[@kb22fender]

The first time I watched this video, I missed those last 5 seconds. Hahahahaha! Worth it.

[@Vishal-J97]

Nice one..!

[@nowarsky]

Спасибо!:)👍👍

[@PhillipAlcock]

One of the things I've learned from playing bass in a 'big' band is that the whole rhythm section doesn't need to play the root note! Since the bass, and possible piano are almost certainly playing the root note the guitarist doesn't need to. Especially in worship songs where the bass is often playing 1/8 notes on mainly the root note. So you can play even fewer notes!
