"Rise" (song by Shawn McDonald) - Worship Song Video Blog: Session 15 with Kim Gentes

one word....Wooooooww!!!!! did not expect that voice from you...

[Goanimateisawesome]

ur guitar looks cool!

[ChristianProgrammer1]

I haven't tried DADGAD yet but that's supposedly the tuning for "Closer"

[corvinrok]

@ChristianProgrammer1 You are right.. ya, this would make it even closer to the original.. not sure how I missed that. the high E sounds not quite perfect when left in normal tuning.. but in DADGAD it drones right along with the other notes.. I should have seen that. everything would stay same, but that string change would make it good.

[ChristianProgrammer1]

For you over achievers who hear the oddness in the D2 chord try hard to NOT play the HIGH E string on the D2 any you'll be happier like I am ....now that I removed it ... however ( occasionally) adding the 7th fret on the high E string for the A11 chord also adds a nice difference once and awhile to this very basic pattern but I'm sure you'll all come u with unique little changes.. God Bless & thanks Kim for the little free lesson...

[ChristianProgrammer1]

@ChristianProgrammer update like the other song "closer" this spears to benefit from dropping both e strings to d !!!! Thanks again Kim !!

[TheJaychristine]

Great Teaching, but I need to know the strumming pattern. Also what is the make of your guitar?

Thanks

[corvinrok]

@TheJaychristine The guitar is a McPherson Indian Rosewood 3.5.

The strum is demonstrated in the video, but to help people out I have added a written out strum pattern on the original blog page for my guitar stuff. (click on the link in the video description)

[DrummerIC]

whats the tuning for each string

[corvinrok]

@DrummerIC The tuning is explained in the video. The guitar is D-tuned. You have to watch it through to hear about the tuning (it is explained starting at 1:40). D-tuned means that instead of the standard tuning of EADGBE, the strings are tuned DADGBE. If you are new to guitar, this is the tuning of each string from the low E string (the big fat string at the top of your set of strings, which in this case is tuned to D) to the high E string (which is the thinnest string with the highest pitch).
