I wish i can actually play guitar, i know a few chords and thats all, lol. My youth pastor wants me to learn bass instead of acoustic or electric. AND YOU HAVE AN AWESOME BEARD!
.....to tense your stomach muscles - this is natural, but start off relaxed. I know that you are a little self conscious about your vioce at the moment - huge ups to you for worshipping God with what you have, but I believe God wants to give you more, and you have a great voice in there, it just needs to find it's way out. Just like your guitaring takes practice, so does using your voice for singing. Try to sing from deeper than the throat or nose - you'll get it, I know you will! Blessings
Hi Mike, bro, firsty I'd like to thank you for your lessons, they are done very well.....so thank you and well done! Secondly, I would like to help you, if I may, it is actually ironic that this is the song I'm going to try to help you on.......when you sing, try to relax your stomach rather than tensing it, then try to take a deepish breath and singing more from your diaphram and slowly exhaling at the same time, you will find that you will slowly or gradually start ....
nice tip keeping the bottom two the same, I'm amazed how many chords can be played like that. I always thought chord changing was impossible till now. Also, like the song choice - nice to be able to learn some worship music and not just secular stuff, to use music to glorify god and not just for my own pleasure.
is the any way that you could type out the strumming for this?? is it down down up down down up?? no actually I have no clue what it is?? but I really want to play this song =)
Hey Smitty ... I really want to thank you for you the time you put into helping us learn to play worship music. I'm sure it means just as to everyone else as I know it does to me. I really appreciate the way you teach and realize that a lot of us are truly just beginning. (Greetings from Germany!) - a brother in Christ
I am uploading a video on strumming, the one I did for a slow strum (using here I am to worship) will work. For this song the strum pattern would look like:
Down Down Down up Up down down up down up
For the strumming video that should be up today use the chorus strumming pattern for this song
Thank you. I learned that song in less than an hour. You took it at a very good pace. Especially wor me, who is a person who just learned how to play the guitar. Keep up the great work :)
Please keep posting the praise and worship songs!! I grew up playing classic rock and blues, but I have since "found a new calling" as some would say and would like to praise Him with my Music.. I still jam out a rock tune on occasion, but I really love the praise music! Thanks.
Thanks a lot, I am going to add more each day. I'm doing them in simple keys for now, but you can transpose or capo, I'll have to teach that lesson for others who need to learn how to transpose to sing in their key, these songs may be pretty low key for singing. Send me a message with any song in particular you want to learn.
I really love this instructional video. I love the way you have taken your time and didn't speed by to simple stuff. This is exactily what I need for my progression. Please do more of these, and thank you sooooo much for doing them. God has granted you the ability to teach, continue in this, please.
Very good teaching, Very easy for me to follow, and I am beginner! Thanks!

hey you left out the lines
"Oh Lord, I'm lost without You
I'm lost without You"
I'm not sure if what I'm guessing you do for those lines are right. could you just give me the chords and tell me where they go over the words?
