This was super helpful. Been playing 30 years but never things like triads or inversions. Got asked to play electric for the first time in years to do swells and ambient chords and this was essential to me.

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

That's great to hear!

[@rowanellis8259]

How you played the Em with a 4th instead of a 3rd, was my gold nugget. Only something a keys player would do!!

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Awesome. Another way to look at that is a C/E.

[@skepple1554]

Thanks man those inversions really helped. It's like a big "lightbulb" moment for me😊👍. God bless

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Glad you liked them. These open voiced triads are among my favorite type of voicings.

[@lfino100]

I can across a useful collection of videos that may help on Worship Fixer Formula

[@lfino100]

Just wonderful, been searching for "how to play the chords on guitar" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Fanwen Ziyaria System - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my m8 got great results with it.

I have paid two different website to learn how to play worship songs, but this was not covered. Nigel Hendroff said he used chord inversions, but this is the first time someone explained it so clearly. Many, many thanks.

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

So happy to hear that! We love to simplify seemingly complicated concepts.

[@bekidemeke5212]

So helpful 🙏

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Stoked to hear that!

[@bekidemeke5212]

@messenger ministries Psalm 150, 2ndKings 3:15..etc. Seems like you have skipped some verses. Thanks for the detailed definitions tho.

[@bekidemeke5212]

@messenger ministries 1st, The scripture references I gave are exactly in accordance with the statement u made 'worship has nothing to do with instruments...' . 2nd this verse: "...WAS PREPARED in the day that thou wast created". Anything musical Lucifer had, be it skills, instruments, sounds or any other 'WORKMANSHIP', they were PREPARED for him. Nothing was originally from him but prepared and given to him. The claim u made about 'ambience' being from hell is totally groundless let alone biblical. Half of ur reply is composed of verses, but ur claims and conclusions aren't based in any. Jesus taught that true worship is in truth & in spirit. That is the only criteria Jesus mentioned. Using the best instruments and sounds we have for worship music is good. As they did in the days of David. Finally I do agree that Lucifer still has his music abilities and still does what he's always done, decieve. But make sure to not make groundless claims on church worships and their sounds since any musical ability Lucifer has was first PREPARED by God. Ur giving credit to the wrong artist.

[@brandonwtsn]

[@EricYamf]

Do you have a preset download for this exact sound?

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Not yet, but we'll be making one soon!

[@frankfinley6674]

I noticed that you stayed away from the low E string. Is that because the lower notes don't sound as clear and ethereal? Just wondered. Thanks for this excellent video, going well beyond the typical "cowboy chord" approach.

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Good observation, I do use it sometimes, but generally this type of tone has a lot of low end which overpowers the overall mix of this. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment!

[@frankfinley6674]

@messenger ministries It is true that that Hebrew word's definition contains nothing about music. But we must submit to the Scripture when it shows us that singing and playing musical instruments is one of the ways that we are meant to EXPRESS the thanksgiving and praise that ought to be present in our hearts, EG the Levites who were appointed to sing and play instruments to worship the Lord, and in New Testament, speaking to one another in hymns and psalms and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord, giving thanks always...you may feel that music is not necessary to worship the Lord...but to pass a conclusion that those who use music to do so know nothing about worshipping our Lord, and are committed to following the doctrines and commandments of men, and that their worship is vain...is a very serious charge against brethren before the Lord's observation. The Lord who purchased them with his own blood and declared them righteous.

[@neilpiper2807]

Great work. Nicely done

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Thank you Neil! Glad you liked it.

[@orlandoramos5509]

Hi sir.. Can i ask whats effects used? Thank you and Godbless you

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

All effects came from my Kemper Profiler.

[@joshuamiranda5989]

these inversions are GREAT help ! I have been looking for a straight forward great teaching on this and its great ! thank you so much. For the ambient sounds what effects are in play with your pedals? Are you using a volume pedal ? if so I am looking for one to help create that ambient swell sound- any recommendations any one ?

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Thank you! I used a Kemper Profiler for all these videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2nEXqmFr9Scq68 Yes I did use a volume pedal in these videos and the whole ambient tone came from the Kemper.

[@Duckinsmokes]

The intro sounds like the song sugar for the pill by slow dive

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Interesting, I've not heard that one

[@MySongman]

Can you Strumm open triads? Or is this mostly for ambient picking? Thanks!

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

You can definitely strum them, you'll just need to have your string muting to be on point. I do a breakdown on String Muting in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep28eX6boKx-eNk

[@markusvhane5087]

Thank you! Bro!

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Glad you liked in Markus!

[@marcfraser5138]

Hi there, great video. When I’m picking the chords you can hear the plucking sound but when you play it sounds really smooth and you can’t hear your fingers picking the notes. Is there any way to achieve this?

[@yourmother3207]

Pretty sure it's a reverb + volume pedal

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

We have a pre-delay set on the reverb which makes it sound like you're using a reverb pedal.

[@sewingdude]

You're using a pick and fingers to pluck just the three notes. How are you keeping the note volumes the same?

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Main thing is to practice it a lot so the attack is nice and even.

[@skyman98]

What’s your pedal set up?

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

I believe this was all Kemper Profiler.

[@stratboy2]

About your tone: you don't have any attack. How did you achieve this? What pedal what settings? I know one way is pog2 which has attack control. Maybe not the only one.

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

This was done using the Kemper Profiler. I will do a video breakdown on this soon.

[@FranklinQuijote-ev1up]

Brother do you have chart for sale. God bless brother

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Not for this video sorry

[@damonwilliams489]

anybody know what effects he is using to create the "pad" affect ?

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

I'm using an ambient setting on my Kemper which is a combination of Reverb and Delay. I've been getting a lot of questions regarding that tone so I will film a video soon. Subscribe to the channel if you're not already, then you'll get a notification when we release it in the next 3-4 weeks.

[@jaylocquiao5640]

What pedal is you using? God bless you bro.

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Thanks Jay! This all came from a Kemper profiler.

[@sethday3254]

this is actually awesome. but. I wish the graphic guitar that is illustrating the finger positions, and the guitarists actual fretboard coincided. Having one inverted when the other is actual is a bit weird, trying to figure things out. Thanks for your work!

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

It can seem weird in the beginning yes but once you have it, it's smooth sailing from there.

[@nathanielkeane8462]

How do you learn to mute the unneeded strings?

[@richrdbarryvanschalkwyk4012]

Good day, I have watching a few videos on how build ambient sounds, there are some good videos, but they take forever to get to the point and it's not always helpful in understanding all the words such as WOW and Flutter, as well as how to create great pedal setup

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Hi. Good to hear from you, and thanks for watching the video!

[@frannyp46]

Nice sound.Im not a practising Christian but some of the worship stuff I’ve listened to on yt is very ethereal and musical.Check Allan Holdsworth chordal work out.He really takes it to the next level

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Thanks Franny! Yes Allan Holdsworth is next level for sure!

[@leonali5375]

Awesome stuff man are you South African?

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Hey Thank you! Yes we are in South Africa

[@KickDaruma]

What effect should i use to make the same tone? Im new to electric guitar.

[@knightofthesun758]

Reverb pedal and Delay pedal.

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

I used a Kemper Profiler for this with loads of reverb and delay.

[@porravictor6427]

What is the name of the music

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Not any particular song. Just some common ambient voicings.

[@sumanchowdhury6162]

C major chord triad is C E G. But first inversion is E G C Or E C G?? We understand that E as lowest note is important. But what about the the accordance of C G /G C?? We have to take the CG /GC seriously!! If we maintain the serials like 1,3,5 Thn 3,5,1 etc Thn chords of ist, 2nd inversions may not be right.

[@rintothumewah5455]

What effect did you use?

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

This was an ambient patch on the Kemper Profiler. Basically big reverb with a lot of predelay along with actual delays as well.

Do you really have to use a 1500$ foot pedal?😮😢

You definitely don't need the expensive gear. It's better to be able to use what you've got well. When you know and understand the fundamentals of tone and guitar playing techniques, you can get a decent tone out any gear.
