  • Hey this is great but im a little confused with some of the chords can you elaborate on it?

  • @chizoba15 what chords in which part of the song?

  • Hello again, I have been practicing this song and some others you've taught and its gettin there.... lol. I was wondering, when you first play the intro (instrumental - no singing) the guitar sounds very open and each string rings, but when you play the intro/verse a second time (with singing) the guitar sounds muted.... how do you do that (I'm a beginner at guitar, lol)??

    Thanx so much for these videos,

    ~Dustin

  • Hi Dustin.

    The difference you're hearing is pretty much due to strumming 3 or 4 strings as opposed to strumming all of the strings. The second time through I'm not strumming the bottom open B and E strings, and accenting only the lower, more bassy notes.

    It gives the verse a slightly softer, muted dynamic than the chorus which sounds a little more open and a little 'bigger'.

see all

  • Good stuff man, I dig it. Keep up the good work. Blessings from me to you.

  • @GospleWarior some of Israel's songs can be simplified from their original form. Friend of God and Say So come to mind.

    Other Christian artists' music that could be fairly easy to cover would be guys like Paul Baloche and Chris Tomlin and Hillsong United.

  • Thanks so much for this vid! I've been wanting to play this song for so long :)

  • @gtrdave can u suggest some songs by isral houghton that i can or might be able to learn on that guitar

  • @GospleWarior can you suggest some songs by Israel Houghton that i can play with it

  • @GospleWarior oh OK well can u suggest some christian songs that i can play with it cause this song is kinda hard for me to play with it

  • @GospleWarior it's a 1960's Carmencita nylon string that my mother-in-law bought new. It's beaten, broken and been abused, but still sounds beautiful.
