Guide to the Modern Worship Guitar Tone

The new edition is 4x longer: 88 pages of what I’ve learned along my tone journey.

  • Learn the language of tone, so when you hear something you love in a song, you know how to build it.
  • Get more out of the gear you already own before you spend any money, and see what I’d upgrade first if you do.
  • Use my starting points for amps and drives, plus the Bookend Method I use for the optimal drive tone.
  • Understand delay and reverb, so you can dial them in with intention.
  • See why technique is the bigger variable in the tone equation.
  • Put it all together in a tone-building exercise where you apply what you’ve learned.

Plus tips for choosing a guitar (and getting the most from the one you have), a look at pickups, how to use a compressor, building swells, tone starting points and descriptions by artist, my favorite signal chain, and more.

It’s free for members, whether you’ve been around for years or you join today. Just add it to your cart and check out.

Just want the book? Buy it now and you’ll get the new edition free when it comes out.

Want a heads-up when it’s out? Leave your email and I’ll let you know. You’ll also get my regular emails, which are rarely more than two a month.

Troy Trahan playing his Ice Blue Portlander in his studio

Hey, guys. Troy here!

I live in Michigan, serve my local church here, and have been running GFHG since 2015. I spent years playing blues, country, and R&B in cover bands. Then, when I was 26, Jesus saved me, and I started serving at church.

I quickly realized I didn’t know what I was doing with worship music. As things started to click, I began posting playthroughs on YouTube, hoping to help someone else the way good playthroughs had helped me. That’s how GFHG started.

From worship guitarists, in their own words.

I joined when my church asked me to learn the electric guitar. Troy and GuitarForHisGlory have taken me from nothing, to a place of relative confidence in myself as a musician. Song tutorials, technique and theory lessons, how to fit into a band, all aspects of tone, all while keeping Christ and His Word at the center.

The Heart Behind the Work

Be Invisible.

“He must increase, but I must decrease.”
JOHN 3:30

Prepare faithfully. Serve with excellence. So you decrease and Christ increases.
