Son of Suffering Lyrics and Song Review:

“Son of Suffering” is a song performed by Matt Redman, Bethel Music, the Worship Initiative and others. There are both light versions and full band versions of this song.

Musically, the song is in 4/4 time and you can play this in key of B, C, or Db, depending on the version you want to play. So, it’s best to play it on guitar with a capo on the 4th, 5th, or 6th fret in G. Of course, you can adjust you capo position in case you need a higher or lower key that fits either a male or female vocal better.

The guitar lesson and play along above is in the key of B. 

Most any strum pattern in 4/4 should work with this song, however, I’ll cover a unique strum pattern that will work especially well for the bridge of this song.

I’ll also cover a finger picking patter that works with this song that can translate to flat picking as well. This is a great chance to stretch yourself into new areas if you want a challenge 

Finally, there is a signature lick in the chorus, that I’ll show you how to play. As you progress through the lesson, you’ll find easy ways to play it at first, and then more challenging ways to play it as we go.
