Since I began leading worship almost 20 years ago I have had countless numbers of people approach me asking if I would teach them guitar and more precisely worship songs.
It seemed that everything asking me to teach them just wanted to learn so they could learn the songs that I was playing during church or at youth group.
At first I was a little hesitant because I’m not a traditional music teacher…I can barely read a lick of music!
So I sat down and thought how can I teach someone to play guitar in the most practical way so that they can start playing songs as soon as possible?
Eventually I realized that I had a knack for teaching because all of my students were picking up the guitar really quickly and within just a couple weeks were playing worship songs along with me!
After teaching privately for awhile, a light bulb went on in my head and I thought why not use the power of the internet to teach all of these people my system of learning guitar and worship songs.
The one thing that I spent a lot of time developing was the actual system that I was teaching people so that they were getting the most out of their time.
Most of my students do not aspire to be the best guitar player on the planet…they really just want to learn how to play proficiently enough to start playing worship songs. Some want to become more advanced guitar players so I made my course comprehensive enough to make everyone happy.
But I didn’t want anyone to have to sit in their room practicing boring scales for 5 hours a day.
Rather than having to put your head in a book and memorize music theory I wanted everyone I taught to be able to play a song within a day or two of picking up the guitar.
Almost every guitar player I know got started playing guitar so they could play songs and I’m sure you are the same way…so why do most guitar learning programs take all the fun out and just make you practice scales all day?
Scales are important but there are much better and more practical ways to build muscle memory so that playing songs comes like second nature.
Since I was teaching all of my students to play all the songs I was playing during worship at church I eventually decided to film my teaching sessions so that everyone could learn all these songs…and learn worship songs on your own time right from home!
So after a couple of years developing and filming my step-by-step guitar system and then teaching a bunch of popular worship songs I finally completed my completely online course…
Play Worship Guitar gives you absolute everything you will ever need to start learning guitar and to play popular worship songs by your favorite Christian artists…exactly how I play...
