Fernando, the beauty of using numbers is that no matter what key you are playing in, you will know the progression. Very nice tutorial and such a beautiful song. my wife and I will be learning this for our own music ministry.
I wish to have this gift of music. but I'm so glad I see these videos.. it makes me to appreciate more this talent.. and be aware of the huge wisdom the musicians need to create songs. THANK YOU. blessings from Colombia. Worship the Lord with Bethel Music.. is singing the Lord in a great Spiritual level.
Thank you for posting these instructional videos on you YT channel. I will ask my 14 year old nephew who just started playing guitar to try learning a few worship songs, vs. Rock, starting with these from Bethel Music.
Hi guys, this is the first time I've heard the song "No longer slaves" and I was blown away by the lyrics, it's so powerfull plus this wonderful tutorial by Bobby. Thanks man. I'm living in the Netherlands. God bless you.
The best RUclips video of this amazing song to listen to (and appreciate the band worshiping) is "No Longer Slaves (LIVE) - Jonathan and Melissa Helser | We Will Not Be Shaken" And do yourself a favor especially watch from 4:45-5:25 to witness Melissa Helser full mic "solo" portion!
Eugene, I'm not sure about this guitar, but I know those in bethel music often use high tuned 1st + 2nd strings, like somehow fully 2 octaves above standard, and that provides the crystalline, heavenly timbre of the notes. That may be why.
I don't really understand myself, but I seem to recall hearing it mentioned in another of the tutorials I've watched, and if you google it perhaps you can find an explanation as to which of strings they use or how it all works. I'm just sharing what I recall hearing once upon a time. Sorry if that's not very helpful. I myself play good ol' D'addario light gauge strings, and find them pretty satisfactory for the sound they produce on my Ovation, but the Bethel Music folks have been going after worship with abandon for decades now, and I'm sure they have quite a few nifty tricks or techniques up their sleeves which we, as financially restricted every day joes (or jacks, or cos, as it were = ) will likely not soon be able to figure out. But keep playing bud, and if your heart is genuine, I suppose it probably matters little to the Father whether our physical hearing perceives our worship as exquisite, for the sacrifice of our praise, a joyful noise, is a sweet-smelling savour unto the Lord, and that is, by all accounts, a much more significant opinion than any of our earthly ones. Shrug.
I love your video, it was instructive and straight to the point. Can you please spell out each chords with graphics next time to make it clear and obvious for beginners. It seems u rushed that part. And also the strumming pattern. Yes, D D D D, but it wasn't actually that way all through. Tailor ur video towards intermediate and learner's to attract more audience. Thanks!
Fernando Salazar if you learn the numbers you could play it anywhere on the guitar. Look up circle of fifths. I pray that God will bless you with understanding.
The song is in the key of D, so 1 is D 2 is Em 3 is F#m 4 is G 5 is A 6 is BM and 7 would be like C#dim or some obscure chord. That pattern applies to whatever key your in, Maj, min, min, Maj, Maj, min, dim. So he gave the pattern rather than the specific chords so you could play it in whatever key you want. Does that help?
For some reason I thought I was commenting on the song "ever be", perhaps because I watched the tutorials in sequence. Either way, you are right. He's playing in G, but with the capo on fret 3 it does become Bb. So your 1-7 for this key would be 1 Bb (played like a G chord), 2 Cm (played like an Am), 3 Dm (played like a Bm), 4 Eb (played like a C) 5, F (played like a D) 6 Gm (like an Em), 7 Adim (played like F#dim). To figure out what 1-7 are for other keys, just count up from whatever key you are in by whole and half steps, like so: W-W-H-W-W-W-H. Once you do so and find what notes are in that scale, you simply attribute each note as Major, Minor, or Diminished by the following rule: 1M 2m 3m 4M 5M 6m 7dim. And there's your 1-7 no matter what key you're in. sorry for the earlier confusion. my mistake
Codaniel Johnson It's all good. You are breaking it down that anyone can understand. That makes your OP legit because it allows for a learning experience. I was just confused for second haha.
If Bobby is reading these comments (or perhaps anyone else can help), can you please explain the 5-chord (D capo'd up to a F) you are using? It looks like you're playing a C-chord up two frets but you must be muting a couple strings. Also, are you muting the low A string on your 1-chord (G capo'd up to Bb) rather than playing in the traditional 2nd fret? Thanks for the great lesson!
You are right regarding the 5-chord. It's a C up two frets, adding the last finger on the first string (the high E string) For the C it adds a High G on the first string, on the D it adds a high A. I'm not so sure about the G. He seems to be playing it sometimes with or without the index on the A string (the 5th string). I'm writing all these in the key of G.
+Eugene G I think age may have a hand into the sound of the guitar. Lyle guitars were made in the 1960's and 1970's (per Wikipedia). This guitar has had plenty of time to open up!
Apart from what guitar it is, they are also using an external pencil condenser mic to pick up the percussive sounds coming from the pick hitting the strings. That's my dream setup; a nice guitar, nice amp, and a mic to get those tasty pick sounds :)
Bobby...Just a heads up....When "You Split the Sea" comes in you're saying to play 6414 twice... But... you are playing 6514 and I believe you are actually playing it correctly but you may have misspoke. Cheers man. Love your music!
+Jesus Christ is Lord He uses a different D shape than is the usual D also. It's the same as C just slide up 2 frets. : ) All the numbers confuse me too, I have to stop and think! I hate the 3 chord, Bm, but it does sound cool in the song.
+phillip galindo you could probably just google Nashville System and find I. basically the major scale for C is C,Dm,Em,F,G,Am, and Bdim... Roman Numerals would be I, ii, iii, Vl, V, Etc. or 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8/1
+iAndi269 look up the Nashville number system. It will help you out a ton, especially if you want to change keys. L.A.B is not correct...he is capoed and playing chords as if in the Key of G so 1 is G, 2 is A, 3 is Bmin, 4 is C, 5 is D, 6 is Emin, 7 is F
Too much capo-nonsense in Christian music! It is WAY overused and mostly unnecessary! You should sing to the key of the written song to accentuate original dynamics, not set the key of the song to the vocal. The only case for that would be if your vocal range is extremely limited, which appears to be the case in Christian music these days. Also, whatever happened to guitar solos? God doesn't just want vocals! He speaks in the bible about playing instruments in worship to Him. Let's get off all the monotonous lyrics for once, and let the instruments sing to our Lord!!!
Well, the capo allows people like me - who want to serve by playing guitar and aren’t bad at actually playing, but haven’t yet mastered all the chord shapes in every key. I have very tiny hands that can’t reach very far for some of those complicated chords! Some chord progressions are difficult to transition between, as well. Additionally, the capo allows two acoustic guitars to play simultaneously with more dynamics because the capo’d one can be in the same key as the non-capo’d but have a completely different tone. I know many amazing and veteran musicians who utilize the capo all the time. Don’t be so quick to dismiss it. It’s a tool that has been around for a very long time.
I'm a bass player and when playing guitar, by capoing on fret 3 , I can play in Bb (the recorded Key) and use the G positioning for easier play. At our church, we let the lead guitars have some space while the bass, the drummer and keys give them a steady ride to come back to when he's is done with his phrase. When we have multiple guitars playing the melody, they capo to different octaves to give a rich full sound. Hope that helps you the understand why the capo is your friend.

I am learning how to play it!!! It has become my anthem! It is stunning! Let’s praise the Name of our Elohim Yahweh!

Amazing
Excellent instruction! Thank you
Perfect

Woow 😳
That Dm chord on chosen.............😊
Im a beginner and i cant understand the "3 chord" and "chords 6514" some like that😭, but thank youuu
Ok i get it now THANK YOU SOO MUCHHHH🤍🤍🤍🤍
Chords with numbers instead of their names is kind of confusing :S
Fernando Salazar naw, numbers are so much easier!
Fernando Salazar You should learn numbers, it's easier once you understand it. Try it.
Fernando Salazar if you learn the numbers you could play it anywhere on the guitar. Look up circle of fifths. I pray that God will bless you with understanding.
many thanks!
By the time I've worked out what chord goes with what number, the song's finished. 😒
The song is in the key of D, so 1 is D 2 is Em 3 is F#m 4 is G 5 is A 6 is BM and 7 would be like C#dim or some obscure chord.

Hi, I don't understand the fingering. Can you do it so we could see the correct fingering on the strings. Thank you.
At 3:05 it's supposed to be "6514 twice" not "6414"
que tipo de cuerdas usa ? suena muy claro y muy bien
What guitar is that? and why does it sound so amazing?
+Eugene G That is a Lyle guitar not sure about the series though.
+Eugene G I think age may have a hand into the sound of the guitar. Lyle guitars were made in the 1960's and 1970's (per Wikipedia). This guitar has had plenty of time to open up!

NijaBoiTellEm I heard only solid guitars open up (yep, it's the top wood), what exactly opens up and how?
Eugene G Lyle f-500
So are you using the Nashville number system to figure out the chords?
This is awesome, is there any music sheet for this to add piano too? For a band?
Apart from k & k, what else is being used in the signal? Is it a blend of both mic?
He doesn't explain what chords u play....:-(
just play 1 3 5 3 2
Have you figured it out yet, it’s been 5 years😂😂hope you have, God bless! ✌🏽
Awesome! What guitar is this??
@Bobby can you pls tell me what Lyle Series are you playing is it a C600 or F-500 pls let know thnx God Bless
Bobby...Just a heads up....When "You Split the Sea" comes in you're saying to play 6414 twice... But... you are playing 6514 and I believe you are actually playing it correctly but you may have misspoke.
Cheers man. Love your music!
what tuning is he using here? its not standard tuning is it? if it is I'm just lost at this point
Can some one give me the tutorial seas of Crimson full by bethel. Tutorial by bethel 😁
Can u explain which chords u r playing if u explain the chords we can understand
what is the model and make of that guitar?
quais os acordes usados ?
what exactly are all the chords
+Spencer Palomares go to bethelmusic.com - they have charts for everything available
But what are the chords' names?!
1= G
3=bmin
4=C
5=D
6=Emin
Hope that kinda makes sense haha
I only found them out by googling the key of G chords :)
Ty Luke Tunstall :)
+Jesus Christ is Lord He uses a different D shape than is the usual D also. It's the same as C just slide up 2 frets. : )
All the numbers confuse me too, I have to stop and think! I hate the 3 chord, Bm, but it does sound cool in the song.
hey Bobby... what are the exact BPMs on the click?
+Kenneth Wilson this song is set at 74bpm
what kind of guitar you use it???
Ya, I have no clue what he's talking about. 1, 4, 5 ect. Can anyone help?
+phillip galindo He's talking about Nashville Number system ex. Key of see 1,4,5 would be C, F,G those are the chords numbered
Does that help?
Yes it does thanks, do you know where I can find a list of these?
+phillip galindo you could probably just google Nashville System and find I. basically the major scale for C is C,Dm,Em,F,G,Am, and Bdim... Roman Numerals would be I, ii, iii, Vl, V, Etc. or 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8/1
+phillip galindo he is capoed and playing chords as if in the Key of G so 1 is G, 2 is A, 3 is Bmin, 4 is C, 5 is D, 6 is Emin, 7 is F
+Godfrey Tobias G not C. The one chord would start at G
I'm a beginner on guitar, I honestly have no idea what 6514 means haha. Help please? Thank you very much, God bless!
1 is C
2 is D
3 is E
4 is F
5 is G
6 is A
7 is B
I'm guessing since 1 4,5 is
C F,G
I'm a beginner too so I may be wrong.
Oh and God Bless. :)
OHHHHH that makes so much more sense! thank you very much, God bless you!!
+iAndi269
No problem. God Bless.
+iAndi269 look up the Nashville number system. It will help you out a ton, especially if you want to change keys. L.A.B is not correct...he is capoed and playing chords as if in the Key of G so 1 is G, 2 is A, 3 is Bmin, 4 is C, 5 is D, 6 is Emin, 7 is F
good video :-)
What guitar is he playing?
Jack Simkin looks like .Lyle C600 or F500
