Phil Wickham - Great Things - Acoustic Tutorial

[@DavoKC]

The fact that he's so accomplished, but still cant name all the notes on the fretboard made me laugh, warmed my heart, and greatly encouraged me. :)

[@jacksoncollender6662]

Phil you are my worship inspiration. I became a worship leader because of you! Thank you for you diligence.

[@johnehoney]

I was desiring to learn the key of b just to learn phil wickham songs. I wanted to get into worship on guitar more and saw an interview where he plays in this key a lot with down tune live. I have even been playing all week with a down tuned guitar having fun, lol. I am a novice campfire guitarist and love worship. This video was a real answer to prayer. Praise God. It was really neat seeing him teach it himself. 🌈🕊🐑

[@franklinden3497]

Phil, I'm a Tucson praise team drummer/ singer and I just Left the service out with Great Things. It's such a wonderful, upbeat masterpiece that puts a smile on many faces..Thank you and God keep blessing you!

[@JoeGarofaloII]

Oh wow, he actually made a tutorial video himself! Phil seems like a really down to earth guy. Not shocking, but was somewhat pleasantly surprised by that 😊

[@djfuzzystump]

Haha, I love how when going through your notes you allow yourself to be transparent “that note, that note, and....that note!” ROFL. That is awesome

[@singingphlebotomist1550]

Your worship music is beautiful I sing worship songs to my patients and children at the hospital I work I hope to be as anointed as you one day to heal the worlds with my voice and music

[@juliafernandez4170]

i finally got a guitar and all the songs i've learned so far are Phil's so i'm watching this video and i get to the part that he says, " because I'm not that good of a musician" I was like wow Phil your so humble so i got to tell you thank you for being humble. but you are a great musician.

[@ronoates8846]

Awesome! First time i saw you, or even heard of you, was over in England. You where with Martin Smith, Matt Redman, and the other Worship Together crew! Blessed beyond measure by your ministry of worship!

I love you dude! You're so real and that is refreshing. I wish my daughter could meet you. We love your music and she has to learn your songs for church. She is auditioning to be the youth worship leader at church and that is what actually brought me to this video.

[@julianoschlenker7968]

Thanks Phil for being an inspiration for all of us. Just to say something, the link on this video to chords chart won't work. Only if you go directly to your web page, God bless you.

[@p8ntballa141]

What guitar is he playing does anyone know? It’s beautiful

[@joshgoodloe4830]

Yes

[@keaganpark]

Phil: I’m not that good of a musician Me: *spits water* THAT BE SOME FALSE INFORMATION

[@merinjosey5857]

Nice😊🥰🥰

[@iloveclarkk]

Haven't watched a video like this since canons ..grade 11 year

[@normagarcia8676]

Nice ❤️❤️❤️

[@carterpaintin4613]

Wow dude

[@FernandoRodriguez-jb8ub]

gracias por el tutorial! ¿será posible que habilites los subtítulos?

[@raffitchakmakjian]

"I have a really fancy way of playing in B, but you don't have to do it..." CHALLENGE ACCEPTED ;D

[@jenelewis7252]

@PhilWickham could you please do a tutorial of Secret Place with the shapes that you use in the acoustic version?

[@dogpark77]

Hey Phil, can you play the whole song with entirety at the end of the video thanks

[@SuperJ333]

Yes - well it's good to play well (Ps.66) but if only I could sing like that, I wouldn't worry a lot about my guitar playing!

[@gibvel]

That note, right there, is a G#

[@davidb4509]

Is super cool to learn that a professional guitarist leaves their guitar tuned down a half or whole step all the time. I’ve thought of doing that, but wasn’t confident in leaving it like that. Do you use a larger gauge of strings to accommodate the lessened tension?

[@corykilgore2444]

Does anyone know why he tunes a half or full step down? Is it because it’s easier for him to sing in that key?

[@thunderup823]

There are a few reasons, but I believe Phil does it so there's less string tension thus making it easier for him to play all these chords he likes to mess with in most of his songs. Especially with Phil being a very percussive acoustic player, tuning up or down a half step really changes the feel/sound of heavy strumming.

[@theandrewdelgado]

God bless! The link to the chord chart no longer works :(

[@Edward_Hazebroek]

What kind of pick do you use, Phil?

[@kabotoawomi9207]

Make a tutorial of The secret place

[@robertepinson5827]

What kind of acoustic are you playing?

[@danwalk32]

Ziegenfuss

[@claribelmaysonet9372]

Hey phill I think I do better playing by ear! What’s a effective way to play if I have trouble with memorizing notes! I also want to buy a guitar for the first time. What would be the best. Thank you 😊

[@taracooper7896]

My brother met you when he was NJ little and gave you a drawing

[@isaacksonjohnson4061]

How did he tune the guitar he played G but sounds like A

[@blairberry3555]

I don't know in this case but I heard him say recently that sometimes he tunes his guitar a whole step lower so he can play in a certain key with a certain chord structure

[@perrybrening8956]

key of B (with 5 sharps) is tough for keyboard/piano players. not sure it's a great idea. of course most praise teams keyboard players only chord. key of E is hard enough for them. haha therefore, not many hymns were written in these keys. not too many guitar players back then ... just a thought.

[@ejjgej3764]

The song is good, but its hard for me to follow the strumming patern

[@Omarlopezband]

What guitar is that?

[@jonathansierra8297]

6:23

[@roywhite5471]

Anyone know what guitar model that is?

[@danwalk32]

Ziegenfuss

[@kiddww198]

In wich key is he playing?

[@chrismoller5668]

He’s playing in B but tuned down a half step, so technically it’s B flat.

[@maddiewade1806]

Sorry I’m late

[@arturocepeda2525]

stop stop stop talking! and just play
