Earlier this month, I was in Chattanooga for the New City Fellowship Music Conference. (check out my dad's thoughts on it here.) I had the privileged of leading the Guitar for Worship clinic. It was a great time hanging with guitar players as well as music folk who needed to learn more about how to work with guitar players. [insert guitar player jokes here.] I knew that the subject was way to huge to cover in one hour, so I tried to give people a lot of stuff to take home and work on. Here’s one section of the handout that I created to give all you rock players a few of the basic chords that get used a lot in Contemporary Gospel. Print it out. Bring it to practice. Use one or two shapes that you don't know yet every time you play in church.
