This is one of my favorite Steven Curtis Chapman worship songs. A few years ago he released "Worship and Believe" which is a great album with several congregational worship songs. I once again joined with some friends to create this "quarantine cover". 

Christmas gifts for the guitar player are covered! I’ve listed all kinds of accessories as well as actual guitars from lowest to highest price. I own most of these products or have at least used them a good bit.

For acoustic guitars, there are a few things to consider when buying a guitar, and it mainly depends on your budget. I think of new acoustic guitars in terms of price tier. Each tier unlocks different options in a guitar. 

This Chris Tomlin song is a classic worship song about knowing that the God of angel armies is also a personal God who is "by your side." 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.  

This is an energetic worship song (from Leeland) that is a great opener. Check out the full band cover and the free charts. 

This worship song (by Pat Barrett) is one of my current favorites. It is very easy to play and has a great melody. Check out the free charts below:

I got some friends to help me out during these odd times to record some great worship songs! We're calling these "Quarantine Covers"! This one (by Josh Baldwin) is a song in 6/8 with a very singable anthem-like chorus: "Jesus we love You; oh how we love You; You are the One our, our hearts adore." You can also check out the free charts below:

"Jesus We Love You" by Bethel Music is a very expressive worship song in 6/8. The chord changes are very simple, and the 6/8 rhythm makes the song unique. This is a great song to try if you're experimenting with 6/8 time. Here are the charts. Check them out!

"Way Maker" is hugely popular, and this lesson will show you exactly why it is musically designed to be catchy! We'll cover the Leeland version of this song, but there are several others who have covered it such as Passion, Kari Jobe, Josh Baldwin, Krisitan Stanfill, and others. Along with this tutorial, you can also download several charts in different keys and using Nashville numbers. 

"See a Victory" by Elevation Worship uses a common chord progression throughout the verses and choruses. This song is in Bb, but you can use a capo to play it with A chords or G chords. 

"Great Things" by Phil Wickham is popular worship song that is very singable. Even though it is in the key of B, you can capo 4 and use G chord family chords. The progression is pretty straight forward, so check out the free charts!

"Glorious Day" by Passion, featuring Kristian Stanfill, is a highly energetic worship song with a strong Easter and salvation theme. "You called my name, and I ran out of that grave." This is a great song if you're trying to get used to the key of D. While the tempo is pretty fast, you can stay on a chord for several measures. Check out the free charts! 

"Do it Again" by Elevation Worship (also known as "You've never failed me yet") is a song that received a Dove Award nomination and is used is many churches. Lyrically, it has a strong theme of faithfulness. Musically, the song builds into a very powerful and catchy bridge (or really a secondary chorus). The progression is pretty straight forward at the beginning of the song and then moves into a unique pattern that helps define the song.

"Yes I Will" by Vertical Worship was nominated for the GMA Dove Award Worship Song of the Year, and is easy to play once you get the hang of it. In fact, the pattern repeats itself throughout the entire song. It uses a "pushed strum" which you can learn in the intermediate course. Check out the free charts!
