Stand in Your Love | Quarantine Cover | Josh Baldwin
Mar 22, 2021

This is still one of my favorite worship songs, musically, since it's so unique (by Josh Baldwin). Chord-wise, it uses a lot of "passing chords" so you'll get to practice playing a chord on the 4th beat of a measure. Passing chords, with a slower paced song creates a unique effect that you'll hear on the chorus. Thanks again to my friends for joining me on this cover!

Whom Shall I Fear | Quarantine Cover | Chris Tomlin
Sep 2, 2020

The timing of some of the chords can be a little tricky on the chorus. The best way to keep up is to just mainly stay with down-strums (eighth notes) as you progress through the song.
