A Path to Excellence in Worship Guitar

If you’re anything like me, you didn’t start playing guitar in the worship genre. When you transitioned to it, it was challenging to figure out how to fit in and contribute positively.

So I put together the lessons I wish I had when I was learning—the concepts I found mattered most through years of playing, making mistakes and figuring out what actually works in the worship guitar genre.

How I approach tone

In this section, which not only offers its own resources but also serves as a central "Tone Hub" to guide you through other key areas of the site, I’ll walk you through how I approach tone from a 30,000-foot view. Then, we’ll take a deeper dive into several important topics mentioned in the How I Approach Tone video—covering the Mono vs. Stereo conversation, Balanced vs. Bright tones, the Bookend Method for your drive section and the various Swirly and Wobbly effects I find to be the most useful for us.

Playing through the mess of effects

Playing with so much delay and reverb can be a huge hurdle, especially when using in-ear monitors. You have to push through, and this video demonstrates why.

Practicing picking patterns/arpeggios

Repetitive picking patterns and arpeggios are useful in so many situations. Add delay and reverb, and they can create a wonderful foundation for Christ-exalting lyrics.

Tips for playing with TONS of reverb

I love reverb. These tips will help you love it, too.

The magic of major sixths and minor sixths

These are the best chord shapes to fall back on for huge sounds.

Tips for dialing in delay

There are a few parameters you need to know well to get the most from your delay pedal.

Picking dynamics

Hard, soft, straight, angled—how you pick matters more than you think.

Left-hand vibrato

This is the one most people spend the least time on, but getting it right makes all the difference.

Dialing in the perfect reverb tone

Long tails, short tails, bright, dark—this video helps you dial in the perfect reverb tone for your style.

An approach to overdrive pedals

There's no accident in the way we order pedals and select them. This video explores methodology and order for overdrives.

Pickup selector switch

Is there a right or wrong? Find out in this detailed breakdown.

Chord inversions made easy

Easily the most effective way to improve your playing in this genre—mastering chord inversions.

Tips for transposing

Transposing is an inevitable part of playing on a worship team. Get good at it with these tips.

The basics of delay tap divisions

Delay is a huge part of worship guitar playing. Learn the basics to improve your ability to dial in the right delay.

Stop playing all the strings

Simplifying chord shapes can actually improve your tone and help you stand out in the mix.

Muting technique

Hone your muting technique to "stop playing all the strings" and improve your clarity.

Chord shapes for swells

Ambient playing is fun, especially when you know the best chord shapes for swells.

Building swell tones...and fun things to add to swells

This video explores the basics of creating swell tones and fun extras to take your sound to the next level.

Seeing the Root, Third, and Fifth of each chord

This helps you better understand the neck and immediately improves your ability to improvise.

Applying the Root, Third, and Fifth concept

Learn how to apply the concept of Root, Third, and Fifth in real-time playing.

What Members Are Saying

One of, if not THE best place for worship guitarists. Troy does an AMAZING job at breaking down this guitar genre. He explains it all. I have learned an immeasurable amount of knowledge since signing up. My favorite is how he explains the scripture from which these songs were created from! One cannot go wrong with GFHG!

Ben S. — The River Church

I've learned more in 12 months from your boot camp than I have from any other site or source. HIGHLY recommend checking these out, people!

My Prayer for You

My prayer is that these resources help you become more confident as a player serving the Lord, so you can focus less on playing guitar and more on worshipping our risen Savior.

I pray that God gets the glory and that people who don’t know Jesus would meet Him through your worship. For those who already know Him, may they be encouraged and filled with joy as they worship with you and your team.
