Lyrics:
I searched the world
But it couldn’t fill me
Man’s empty praise
and treasures that fade
Are never enough
Then You came along
And put me back together
And every desire is now satisfied
Here in Your love
Oh there’s nothing
better than You
There’s nothing
better than You
Lord there’s nothing,
nothing is better than You
I’m not afraid
To show You my weakness
My failures and flaws
Lord You’ve seen them all
And You still call me friend
‘Cause the God of the mountain
Is the God of the valley
There’s not a place
Your mercy and grace
Won’t find me again
You turn mourning to dancing
You give beauty for ashes
You turn shame into glory
You’re the only one who can
You turn graves into gardens
You turn bones into armies
You turn seas into highways
You’re the only one who can
You’re the only one who can

It’s not every day you get a bass tutorial from the bassist that actually played in the song. Thanks for taking time out to show us how it’s done. This was a big help for me.

[@alexwilliangoncalves8257]

Honestly, he uses the bass in an extraordinary way, the holding of the notes are incredible

[@mateocasanovas8505]

What a legend, one of my favourite bass players by far, knows how to keep it simple yet throws tasty licks here and there. Super excited that a worship team like Elevation is putting the effort to reach bass players with content too. God bless you Shae Wooten!

[@shaewooten]

Mateo Casanovas this is very kind Mateo! Bless you my friend!

[@AveryLiburd]

he’s amazing

[@SRTVEnglish]

This guys is the coolest bass player in history. And his last name is Wooten? Man. What. A. G.

[@ronniegachunga3221]

I agree

[@sharnoldpapa7339]

A P Bass in the hands of a player with skill, restraint and taste is a beautiful thing! Take note guys. He can play the frets off this thing but does not, instead opting to serve the song while still do enough to know he’s there. Tasteful double stops! I’m a huge fan.

[@shaewooten]

Thanks Sharnold!

[@fulcherjl]

these Shae Wooten tutorials are perfect. Right to the meat, right to the point. Thank you. no chit chat, nonsense or asking anyone to like/comment/subscribe. I love it.

In April of 2020, I was watching this video and learning this song to play for Easter, then our church building closed because of covid. I did get to play it a couple of times on our online services. Now we are open and this one is back on the menu again. Thank you for your time and service to the body of Christ. We have a moto at Life Changing Church in Edgerton Ohio. It goes like this. "We Get To Do This." All glory goes to God our Father. :-)

[@lorizaikowski2060]

Awesome playing to the song! Thanks; this gave me great ideas for playing this for the first time at church in 2 weeks. I usually don't know what to do when on the same chord for a few bars, but you put in some nice licks. Very soulful and tasty. Much appreciated. Blessings to you.

I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your ideas in a way that others can break down and make their own. I love watching your videos. I know this is an oldie, but it's really fun to watch you play and figure out how you did things.

Thank you very much for being so simple so humble and sharing with us. I really appreciate your worship heart!💛 Very nice to meet you Shae!

Thanks Ana!

I really like this tutorial. The base volume is just right above the music and yet I can still hear the music well. The chords in the right hand corner are nice that not everybody has in their tutorials. And I could see the fretboard and his hands really well. I think I'll be using this from now on

Awesome tutorial bro really helped me. I am not that great but was able to pull of the first few runs. I am not that good with music so tab would have helped but I finally was able to see what you where doing. I pretty much kept it simple after the slide lick in verse two and just played the octave slide during the bridge. Thank you so much for this tutorial, you rock dude always in the pocket and still show that you are grooving without over doing it!

Not trying to be a stalker but I dig your sound and was hoping to find some videos and maybe a glimpse of your board. Just found a pic of your board on IG.

[@shaewooten]

Mark Shane thanks for reaching out and for the kind words! I hope this is helpful. That’s what we’re here for!

[@Official_RIDM]

I'm trying to train myself to see the notes and play them. Hilsong has this really nice playlist that's basically the same as this one BUT they show the upcoming note to be played. THat way I can practise at playing along instead of seeing the note that's supposed to be played right when the note is played. Thanks for the tutorial though!

What brand/model IEMs do you use on stage? Appreciate your videos!

[@justletyoursmokeglowgracea4040]

I’m just now learning the bass so I’m completely new to it all, but I’m curious how you make your bass sound go for deep bass to like a not so deep tone?

[@christelewicz738]

Very simple and very fluent. Any advice for a beginning bass player like myself.. Much appreciate it

[@shaewooten]

Yes! Learn all of the music that inspires you note for note. Learn your scales and arpeggios. Have a good attitude. Be teachable. Remember that music is fun!

[@danielwebber9964]

Can you write this out as a bass tab?

[@anthonyraybullard6053]

What type of "box" did he activate to change his sound?!?!

[@panchoreyes1415]

What pedal is that ?!

[@connorkanephotography5114]

Just out of complete curiosity towards the end of the song when it start with bridge 2 your hitting another chord before the E and B just wondering what that is cause I'm following along with the sheet music. That I downloaded from elevation website. To be more precise it's a 3:04

[@shaewooten]

Connor Kane Hey Connor! I hit a 1 and a 3 up top. So a B and D# both times I go for the high chord in the middle of the passage. Hope this helps!

[@bassguitar1919]

Hi Shae,....what brand and guage of picks do you typically prefer? Also, what specifically are you using here? Thanks.

[@shaewooten]

I typically use D'adarrio Blue or Green. This is probably one of those!

[@wannaride54]

Hi Shae, I'm learning to play bass and our worship team is playing Graves Into Gardens this Sunday. Do you have tab on this song? I'd like to see all the runs you are playing. Thank you!! Stephanie Mays

[@shaewooten]

Hey Stephanie! That’s awesome that you are learning bass!! Unfortunately, we don’t have any tabs for the songs. but! We do have chord charts online if that helps!

[@jamesb4201]

Hey Shae! I have this same bass in the tide pool color!! What is a good drive pedal you’d recommend?

[@shaewooten]

Hey James! I love that color. Man. Drives. I love so many. I’ve been using rat style drives from my HxStomp. They are a little tough to reign in but they sound so good. Solidgoldfx Beta is really great. So many good ones to choose from now!

[@jamesb4201]

Shae Wooten thanks so much bro!!! Means a lot that you take the time to respond! You’re my favorite bass player 🙌🏻

[@chushclaw9]

What pedals are you using?

[@shaewooten]

I’m using my hx stomp. I’ve got different patches for each of the tunes we do. This has a tweaked rat style distortion ran in parallel.

[@geogarcia3356]

Shae what amp do you use on stage?

[@shaewooten]

I just run my noble preamp direct!

What is he doing at the beginning when he plays G#m F# E ?

Hey Martin! I'm chording those with two notes each one on the E string one on the G string. Lowest note written on the left G# - B, F# - C#, E - B. Hope this helps!

[@Bigricky06]

@@shaewooten I have a question for you. Some musicians say Contemporary worship, in general, makes musicians lazy due to the fact that it is not pushing them to harder challenges and apply more technical skills like tapping, slapping, crazy intros, other chord progression outside of the "4 chords box", etc....what is your take on that? obviously, a song like Graves into gardens does not require slapping, tapping, etc....that will be overkill of course.

[@shaewooten]

Bigricky06 I love this question. I think if a musician is not pushing themselves and practicing that is lazy. I think if a musician is showing discipline by serving the song and playing in the correct context, regardless of their skill, that is not laziness. It’s great musicianship and wisdom. That’s the delineation. Not technique. It is beautiful practical application. I think our job is serving the song. Graves may not require slapping, but there is a lot of out of the box playing for this genre like the chordal approach to multiple sections. I did it because it serves the song. There are other tunes where I play only diamonds, because that serves the song. I hope this is a helpful answer!

[@Bigricky06]

@@shaewooten Yes definitely. thank you for sharing your take on that and maybe it will encourage another aspiring musician who reads it.

Is the bass in stereo or mono?

Hey , does he use any pedals in this song?

[@renoutlaw8371]

It doesn't sound like it, if he does he doesn't change that I can tell. I don't know what he has on his board so I can't tell if the drive comes from a pedal or his amp.

[@messironaldinho4291]

@@renoutlaw8371 yeah i was thinking when the bridge started he might have used a slight over drive but it also might be that he just switched to the pick

[@renoutlaw8371]

@@messironaldinho4291 I'm fairly certain it's just the pick, he might have also rolled up the volume by like 10%.

[@shaewooten]

Hey Messi! Yes! From the bridge on I use an overdrive. I used a 1981 DRV on the album. I made a preset for the pedal in my HXstomp that I use live and in the video!
