[@mattlemos4186]

The fact that you ministered in the middle of this lesson is absolutely amazing. I appreciate your heart for the word!

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Thanks for the comment and for watching the video.

[@PocketDelicious]

Agree! Loved that.

[@Michael-t9k]

Same.

[@Dev-q5y]

Yes, it felt biblical ❤✝️💐

[@ernststavroblofeld2109]

The simplicity is beautiful. I had a piano teacher that told me once, “for every musician on stage you should play 10-20% less. “ You keep the mix from getting muddy while fulfilling your role. Well done. 👍🏻

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Yes absolutely. Thanks for watching!

[@harolddavis4138]

That is a good rule of thumb to be aware of. Thank you

[@stepitup5409]

There are times when you just feel that you are listening to another part of your heart. Ive watched many many videos on worship guitar. This brother is a gifted teacher and player. I am going to save up some money and join his lifetime classes. I thank you my brother for all you do. Your blend of teaching guitar and the Word of God is so refreshing. I hope one day to understand the neck and the soul of worship like you do. God bless you!

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Good to hear from you @stepitup5409. I really appreciate your kind words. You'll definitely get there with time.

[@PocketDelicious]

I also love that you talk about the emotional qualities of the chords and sounds. The art of music (and art in general) and what is does is not lost with you. Thanks for this. This is something that is missing from "modern worship music."

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Music is definitely art and there's many different ways to portray art. Thanks for watching the video!

[@ConditionZero76]

And to add to that, many people think the stone killed Goliath, but it didn't. The stone just knocked him unconscious, and then he grabbed Goliaths sword and chopped his head off with his own sword!!..... Great guitar lesson 🎸 💯

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Thanks for the comment and watching the video.

[@Michael-t9k]

That's great sharing about David and Goliath. Am a street musician and gonna offer some real praise to God with my mouth when they come near. Thanks to Jesus from whom all blessing flow. You play gloriously well.

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Thanks. Keep praising Him yes!

[@ryangross714]

Thanks for this! Putting names to the 4-2 and 1-2 and 10th voicings is really good, I've used them but never really processed 'what they are'. Also - these can definitely be played as double-stops (closed and muted, just the 2 note diads), but I encourage everyone to try using capo to get in a position that takes all the sharps/flats (or at least, the most used ones in your song) out of your given key in a song, and playing appropriate open strings with these diads. Example: Battle Belongs in Bb, capo 3 for G position. You can play the chorus in the 4-2 voicings with the Bb (3rd string) ringing open. Also, the big opening riff you can let the same string ring open with the octaves. These sound really huge and full with little complexity, plays really nice with worship style effects, especially if you need to fill a lot of space as the electric guitar in your specific ensemble.

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

This is really good what you're saying. Thanks for the comment.

[@PatrickPretorius]

​@WorshipGuitarSkills a lesson about using Capo would be awesome. I feel like there's so much "maths" but maybe you know some good shortcuts/cheat sheet.

[@MattOlpinski]

Amazing video! I think the 4-2 voicing might be called 6th intervals though (major and minor 6th intervals) in case anyone wants to learn more about them.

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.

[@TheSpaceInvaderer]

Noy necessarily. You can do a 5th in a 4-2 voicing. Or a maj7, min7

[@coltergray12]

This was so helpful to me! Im an acoustic player learning electric - my second sunday is next week. Knowing WHAT to play when is so difficult because the instrument is so diverse.

Hi. Here is a link of a guy that makes really good patches kzbin.info/www/bejne/np-5iqWqhZaInJY I would recommend to invest in one or two good patches, and then tweak those patches that's already good to suit your playing style and what you like. Hope it helps.

[@Michael-t9k]

When can it ve ok in worship to play exotic soloing? I wish so. It should sound like fire .

[@ScoobyDoo-kt9pv]

Woa I don't get to play in church because I get kicked out ... That's lame it's just old gossip floating around. But I always try, I am attempting to be an all around pro musician not to be pro but just to be successful at what I do, music ... I play guitar mostly and play piano and I'm ok at singing but I own drums and I'm bad at that. The churches sometimes say they might let me play. But ... Politics and getting kicked out usually make it hard. Town talk. Stories. Sad it's that way. But this is the best video on triads etc for worship songs. Personally I think it's a great unlock. For worship songs though I usually try to do a short melody phrase myself but I think you are totally in it. I really like the 2-4. I use triads and diads but I more or less use natural and pentatonic. Maybe one day a church will allow me to be seen and not kicked out.

[@ScoobyDoo-kt9pv]

I always have to worry when I go to churches about getting kicked out as soon as I show up. But ... Whatever man ... No e if the stories are even true. What I can say is those diads are really understated which is good I guess you also have quite the expensive set up. I'm still paying on mine and it's very inexpensive. Because my other gear was stolen. But yeah ... Maybe one day I won't be this toxic mutant I'm really handsome and good looking but the town talk though even untrue even is super bad.

[@Michael-t9k]

I been kicked out or asked to leave 7 times from churches. Lol Jesus never left or rejected me.. now i simply apt to be a street musician. ​@ScoobyDoo-kt9pv

[@mikefojas5064]

Would this diad lesson be useful for acoustic guitar with a big sky pedal

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

Hi @mikefojas5064 I think when playing only 2 notes at a time (Diads), it tends to work better with more sustain in your tone. So for acoustic I don't think it will work as well as for electric, but I do think it will definitely help you with your overall guitar knowledge and will definitely help you work your way up the fretboard. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

@@WorshipGuitarSkills Ohh thank you sir🥲It's really hard to learn this kind of things for beginners like me🥲I have electric guitar for a year ,but I can't even strum it

[@ED-wj5tp]

Good things to know , if I could add , playing in a group that would allow the electric guitar to be used doesn’t make that instrument the lead instrument. It should be played as an accompanying sound. And what kills the sound more than anything is,……..wait for it………everyone playing 100% of the time at 100% volume, during a song. Just stop doing that , please. And sound board guys this falls on you as well. Music should ebb and flow. One thing to know , especially in smaller churches, when a song comes to an acappello moment, don’t completely stop playing, learn how to play softly to keep things moving. You want people to stop singing, stop playing, guaranteed the voices will drop out. While I’m at it…..you with the big loud great voice, learn it’s not all about you, and blend your God given talent with those less fortunate, it’s a congregation singing, not a Celine Dion concert .

[@WorshipGuitarSkills]

@ED-wj5tp I agree with what you're saying about playing 100%. It's definitely a skill to know when to play and to overplay. Thanks for watching.
