Revelation Song : Electric Guitar Lesson (Jesus Culture)

By request, here is a video for Jesus Culture's version of "Revelation Song". This song is fairly simple as far as the guitar parts go, so I didn't slow anything down to half tempo (tablature is included as always though). Chris Quilala, who is singing harmony, just plays open chords with a capo at the 4th fret. So I concentrated on the other guitarists parts.

Riff 1 is the volume swells at the beginning. It's hard to tell exactly what voicings he is using, but this is what sounds and feels right to me. Riff 2 is what I would play for the turnaround, again not exactly what he plays. Riff 3 is the build where he tremolo picks 32nd notes which, as you can see, I can't play very well :) So I also show a variation using 3rds played as 16th notes.

Finally, I show the chords I hear for both guitarists (open and capo 4). There's lots of cool variations you can do on these to make them your own though.

Please feel free as always to leave your requests for songs for me to cover in future videos in the comments, or send me a PM.

I'm not set up to record my voice, which I never talk on the vids. Plus my parrot is usually sitting on my shoulder and she has a hard time keeping quiet :)

I just have a little delay going to carry out the notes. I'm using a volume pedal to swell, but you could use your volume pot to get the same effect, especially if you have strat-style controls where you can reach it with your pinky.

What type of pedal are you using at the begining (riff 1-Volume swells

Thank you SO much. This is by far the best instructional video I'm ever seen for leading worship songs. This has been a huge help! God bless!!!

Thanks for sharing this vid and the tabs.

Where can I get the tab charts that you have in the video stills? I have looked everywhere, and although I can remember most of them, I want to make sure that I can play along to lock it in my brain

Cool video! I do think i may be able to tweak it a little. It sounds right to me this way, but let me know what you think. I am pretty sure your first chord (for the volume swells) is the only one that is wrong. Try doing:

E--- 7 ---

A--- x ---

D--- 9 ---

G--- 8 ---

B--- 0 ---

e--- 0 ---

Let me know what you think of that, otherwise, awesome video!

A run rthrough the effects used would have been awesome. That volume swell - fantastic. How do I get that?
