12 MUST-HAVE Chords for Modern Worship Guitar [Electric and Acoustic]
GET WEEKLY TRIAD VIDEOS HERE: https://mailchi.mp/dontgiveup/oiowo2xp2p
Break away from traditional cowboy chords and learn chord voicings that actually sound like modern worship music AND are easier to play! For Acoustic and Electric Guitar
Note: The term “Modern Worship Music” refers to the musical characteristics most commonly found in the songs of the CCLI Top 50.
I believe modern worship music is the easiest music in the world to play… if someone shows you how. Week after week, so many musicians struggle to add value to their band. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Don’t Give Up is a channel dedicated to simplifying modern worship music so you can confidently and consistently help your church worship through song. Enjoy! – CJ Robby

Good lesson and thanks for doing it! You need a new hat though! Boston? ????
There's no way I would ever use a capo
Every rhythm worship guitarist (and all others) should implement this! Enough of the cowboy chords ????. Loved this, leveled up my rhythm playing significantly. Amazing quality content!
this is the best video ive seen for guitar. Thank you
Maravilloso ❤
Is this for non musically inclined worship leaders?
This makes playing eguitar at a worship band so much simpler. Please bring more contents!
Great classes. Thanks. Learned soon much.????
You are playing a C2 NOT a Cadd9. Those are different voicings. For the Cadd9 you have to be playing the root and the 9 . You are not. The bass note C doesn’t count in this context
In my church we play all sorts of chords. Polychords, tri-tone substitutions, dimished chords, #5 #9 chords, and some songs not the majority we even modulate keys. So yeah….
We mostly use 5-7 chords when playing from the old hymn book
This video is a huge time saver! I’m an advanced acoustic guitarist but I’ve never had to use the Nashville number system until now. I was thinking how long it would take to learn all the chord numbers for all the keys, but it only took this video!
any suggestions for people with small hands? should I just stick to the easy G-C-D-Em chords? I can't do bars or stretch fingers past 2 frets. I'm learning acoustic guitar (left-handed)
This is one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen. You are perfectly summing up the ultimate collection of chord versions. These have taken me years to discover and implement. Wish I had this before
What would be a home position for Bb, and Eb?
I saw this ages ago, had to quit playing because of toxic ministry, but God is God, he is in control. Need to watch it again. Thank you so much!
At 21:55 trying this on 7 string is almost impossible. This video is super informative! Thank you!
thanks so much this is perfect
My method is to learn the complete chords up the fingerboard and then play the notes that fit the song. Knowing the entire chord is also very handy should you get into fingerpicking.
Great lesson. However, I can't make the E5 due to a very short and misshapen pinky finger. Barre chords aren't an issue, nor are regular cowboy chords. However, any sort of stretch and my pinky finger curves, thus obscuring the notes below it.
Fantastic video. Thank you so much for it. I am the sole electric guitarist at my church, (and a novice, at that), so this has been incredibly helpful in aiding me to move on from barre chords. You've earned my sub!
Hello are the alternative voicings movable shapes or are they are only restricted to the key of C,G,E?
I have been playing for some time and would really appreciate a video on movable chords voicings across the neck for worship music
But i really appreciate the way you explain.
Simple and precise ????
Keep it up
Whats the guitar?
Another superb video, CJ, thank you. I've been playing guitar for 40 years but only really moved to electric ten years ago. Your tips on economy of movement and voicings that sound great but also easy are just priceless!
Great help brother! ❤️ Glory to God! ????
Great Reverend Guitar 🙂
Great video, this is going to be helpful for me to add some acoustic guitar skills.
Odd you haven't encountered the key of D much, so many of our songs are in that key.
Also we use the ii and iii chords a lot, they should be treated as important IMO.
Thanks for the good work!
Thank you, sir, this video is very helpful to someone how is trying to learn guitar, your theory and teaching still is awesome
Thank you for this. 62 yrs old….picked up the guitar after 30 years. You have given me an expressway to musical creativity. Thanks! Will Donate to your channel. How?
this is so nice ! thanks! can you make a video for beginner set up pedal ?????
I have watched this video 3xs and i finally understand the anchor positioning!!! wow love it.
And i was really angry at your key of E voicings. but now i love it
