- For those who play electric guitar at CHURCH or in WORSHIP contexts, here are some basic tips on what to play (and what not to play) during ministry/prayer times or quiet moments in worship.
Thank you so much for helping change a prevalent culture of guitar rock stars in worship teams these days so they play more suitable stuff and not distract!!!
Moe Bass Thanks! Appreciate the encouraging feedback!
'It's about serving the moment' Preach! We need more of this.
Thanks!
Execellent tutorial, great idea's. I've been playing for years in churches and always looking for new things to play in the situations you are speaking about. God bless you bro. Will from Scotland.
William Brown Thanks so much! God bless you too and your worship ministry over there!
Beautiful...so spiritually inviting. Perfect to usher in the presence of God.
Sounds great. I play through an AC30CC2 with a Jackson Audio Prism>Pigtronix Philosopher’s tone>Boss TS9>dunlop DVP3 XL> Boss DD-7>Boss RV-6.
I Also play a mexican strat.
Nice. Sounds like you've got a good setup
Watching from Trinidad great lesson i have learn a lot thanks God richest blessing
Thanks so much for the encouragement! Blessings!
Awesome brother, can feel the anointing
Samuel Naidu Thanks so much!
if ministering is giveing glory to God then as long as the guitar is playing along the same glorifiyng moment to the Lord then Amen....thank you sir Peter...
I do a combination of swells with stacked delays and picking triads. Last night we had about a half hour of prophetic ministry time where we played in C but not based on a song and I switched to picking but staying within the confines of C triads and arpeggios because the piano progressions called for a melody which swells couldn't really achieve and stayed on a clean tone with lots of delay. Just don't go all rock star mode and let the spirit lead
Nick Koehler Yeah I actually do a similar thing when there's an extended ministry time
I would also recommend continuing with whatever riff or melody is prominent in the chorus or bridge, if the pastor starts talking after a song; you still want to ride the volume pedal to control the volume and dynamics, so as not to overpower. Swells are good to have in the toolbox, but sometimes they are overwhelming; it just depends on what the message is about.
Anthony Maloney Yeah that works too
Wonderful tutorial indeed. God richly bless you brother
I'm just learning guitar. I am wanting to join my church worship band. There are already others playing electric, acoustic, bass guitar, keyboard, violin and drums. I hope this video will help me in the future. NICE GUITAR! I have the same guitar but mine is a lefty.
Eddie Nice! All the best! I hope the video is helpful for you.
Excellent
Thanks man! You don't know how much you've helped me in ny ministry, since my mentors had no time to teach me various songs for worship the first guy I search up on RUclips is you
Some Normie Thanks so much for the encouraging feedback! I sincerely appreciate it! I'm so happy to know that my tutorials have been helpful for you
It all depends on where the church is at that very moment. If the church is an moment of deepness and complete take over then you can play these sounds. Otherwise if you church is in a moment of motivation and excitementment ready to dance for God then doing the Jazz chords fine to play.
thank u sir!!
God bless..
Thank you. I love your approach and videos, they have helped me a lot when looking for how to approach certain songs and parts. Thank you for your heart.
Thanks so much for the encouragement! Blessings!
Awesome! Met you in New Hope church Tokio... great Worship!
felix arnold Thanks! Awesome! When did you visit New Hope Tokyo?
Peter Malins I was there I think in April/May with the ywam team south africa and we went there two or three times
felix arnold Nice!! Hope you enjoyed it! And do you play guitar at your church?
Yes it was great! Yes I play and played in my church. I am just starting to learn to improvise during worship songs...I played a lot of blues with all the pentatonic scales. But when I use these it sounds not that good always to much blues ;) Do you have some tips for me? Thanks!
felix arnold That's great! For improvising to worship songs, most of the time I use the Major Scale, not the blues/minor pentatonic scale
Awesome video! Thank you so much for sharing this!!👍👍👍
Good stuff! I’ve always wanted to know what to play in those times because I kinda get stuck when things get quieter thanks man
Dillon Buckles Thanks! So glad it helped!
please show us your pedal rig and how to achieve this sound. it is so amazing.. great for consecration and worship! God bless you more sir!
Pierre Carlo Castillo Thanks! It's actually just 2 delay pedals (Boss DD7 & MXR Carbon Copy) and a reverb pedal (Neunaber Seraphim)
+Peter Malins thanks bro.. is this effect possible to achieve in just zoom guitar effects pedal or that sort of gadget? these pedals are quite expensive. I'm just a beginner and would like to achieve this sort of atmosphere into worship. God bless bro!
Pierre Carlo Castillo What specific Zoom pedal do you have?
The Zoom MS-70CDR can probably get some similar sounds
+Peter Malins hello bro. its zoom gfx-1. I'm planning to buy a reverb pedal that is affordable like listen aural, by God's grace. 👍☝🙏
Hi Pierre, I'm not sure about the Zoom gfx, but it will probably only do simple delay and basic reverb. You could try the Zoom MS-70CDR pedal, which has many types of delay, reverb & chorus.
Another good reverb pedal that isn't too expensive is the Boss RV-5
Thanks brother it’s Amazing video
Thank you for this tips i will tray that
God bless you
Agree. Simple play is the best.
it really give me idea brother. thanks a lot. God bless you more brother
Thanks! Bless you too!
Awesome video! Thanks so much! This really helps! God bless you brother!
Michael Quinones My pleasure! Thanks for the feedback!
Very teaching vedio,,
Very helpful to us beginners! God bless
Delay and reverb only?
Please what kind of reverb are you using? Sounds great bro thank you so much
Thanks! I think I was using a Neunaber reverb pedal at that time.
Stairway to Heaven
Like with the backing track that tells when to go to chorus and etc
wow awesomee! thanks for this tutorial 🥰🥰🥰
Great video! I do agree with you that it's better not to play anything :)
Taejin Kim Thanks!
What if the other guitarist play this and it up to play the melody. Can you show what kind of melody or scale we can use to create a peaceful/praying time.
I just use the major scale. You could also play the melody of the song.
God bless and thanks
Bryon Lynn Thanks!
this is really a helpful.one God bless.
Hi I'm planning to buy my first electric guitar and I dont know what type of guitar I would choose should I get the tele dual hh or the strat for a worship?
I Was looking for this!!!!!
Thanks!
You're welcome! I hope it was helpful
How to play triads? Anybody please answer
great tips! thanks!
Thanks for your tutorial, Sir. I learn much :)
Im a new player and beginner. And I still wonder how to create the sound like just you show at this tutorial. I just have Yamaha Pacificia & Zoom G3X.
Is it possible to creat the sound like just you do ? Many thanks. God Bless youu :)
Dion Giovanni Thanks! You just need delay & reverb. So turn your delay mix & repeats up quite high and then also add a lot of reverb if you have it
Well, I'll try. Thank youu, Sir :)
Dion Giovanni This video might help you:

Can I ask your eq for the amp?
music..style...ambient...and..worship...interesting...
Hey I've led worship for a few years with acoustic but am wanting to pick up electric. What direction could you point me to to start learning shapes and nice finger pick chords (thinking Hillsong)? I only know the basic chords and bar chords up the fret in key of E. I want to take it to the next level thanks!
marshal brown that's great! Electric is fun. I would suggest learning about "TRIADS". Just type in "guitar triads" to RUclips and there should be lots of lessons on it.
And just learn the original electric guitar parts to the songs - there are lots of tutorials on RUclips these days showing you exactly how to play the electric guitar parts to contemporary worship songs
marshal brown use some compressor and a booster to make your sound more powerful but good to the ear. Dont use metal or heavy distorted pedals. overdrive will do. grab some ideas from Nigel hendroffs gears and how he uses it.
Peter Malins I bought a Fender Deluxe Roadhouse Stratocaster and love it. I'm now looking for a great amp for cleans then will add pedals. What amps would you suggest for great cleans? thank you
marshal brown Awesome! Congrats!
In terms of amps, it obviously depends on your budget - but if you're looking for a smaller tube amp, I'd go for a Fender Blues Junior, a Fender Bass breaker (20w version), a Vox AC15 or even AC10.
My home amp, which I use to record these videos, is actually a Peavey Classic 30, which is a good tube amp too.
On Sundays for church, I actually use a Fender Blues Junior (due to space and noise constraints), and it sounds great.
And obviously they'll be much cheaper if you buy them used - but again it depends on your budget.
Just try them at the guitar store and see which one you like.
Happy shopping! :-)
marshal brown BTW I had a quick listen to a few songs on your RUclips channel - very nice! Nice playing singing and songwriting! Keep it up!
How to play simple guitar in prayer time
good tip, thanks...
Henco Swart Thanks!
Are you saying that I shouldn't play "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" in church? ;)
I would simply rip a face melting solo when the speaker has something anointed to say. Nothing Iike old school church! haha
lovely. thanks man.. the problem I face is that our keyboard keeps playing on scales. kinda ruins the moment
Mike Shinoron I see... But at least some volume swells underneath creates a nice ambient sound
Peter Malins Yeah thanks. Can you teach us or give some tips on how to create a worship or praise guitar solo. I mean most of the tutorials in youtube are on rythmic basis.
Mike Shinoron Good point. I think I did 1 or 2 videos a while ago on creating a melodic solo in worship - but let me see if I can do some more
Peter Malins oh. okey ty. ill watch it now
Can you teach those type from the 5:46 beginnig.
Hey brother im now about to join my churhces worship team to play electric guitar but i only know simple chords but i want to know scales and stuff more down to the low frets any suggestions
Julio Saravia Favs That's great! I recommend learning the major scale
Hello and God bless you! I'm a beginner guitarist and I was wondering if it's possible to do it on a ZOOM G3n. Think you can help?
Alvaro Abraham I'm not sure about the Zoom, but can you combine DELAY and REVERB at the same time?
Peter Malins I believe so.
Nice work!! Really helpful. Cheers!!
tractorbooty15 Thanks!
How do u play guitar with the stem on? Like what does it sound like?
Jerry Jacob Sorry what do you mean by "the stem"?
Thanks bro~ good stuff
Dennis chow Thanks!
It's not the blues festival 😂
ill try these
Bryan Francisco All the best with it!
What is your pedal chain here?
2 delays: Boss DD7 & MXR Carbon Copy
Reverb: Neunaber Seraphim
Plus some light transparent drive from the Greer Amps Lightspeed
Amp: Peavey Classic 30 tube amp
how can i configure that effect in a pedalboard rp500 digitech
Omar Perez Well I'm not familiar with the Digitech rp500, but you need to combine delay and reverb. An analog type delay is best (turn the repeats up) and a hall reverb (turn the mix & decay levels up).
rp500 is great. go to their website and download patches. you can easily configure your rp500 too thru your computer via usb.
I hate to admit it but I'm guilty of the solo thing...I'm really working to unlearn this. lol...😁
👍👍👍
What pedals are those? That sounds amazing
Michael Buchanan 2 delays - Boss DD7 and MXR Carbon copy; and Neunaber Seraphim reverb
Peter Malins wow I didn't know there was a pedal made that was named after the seraphim! That's cool! Thank you for your response.
why do so many guitar players in church insist on playing just fender Stratocaster. I mean I play an Ibanez rg
Haha.
Hey Garrick, Actually I play a Stratocaster simply because it was the first proper electric guitar I bought about 16 years ago - and at that time I thought Strats were cool. But I also have a Gibson Les Paul now.
But the reason a lot of worship guitarists play Fender Stratocasters or Telecasters is mainly because the low output single-coil pickups sound a lot clearer that humbuckers - and that is generally better for most worship songs.
Guitars with high output humbuckers are great for hard rock and metal, but not necessarily the best for worship music.
I've noticed that too... I'm using a PRS SE24, but I'm also playing lead. Our rhythm guitarist plays on a Gretsch. It's a nice pairing.
yeah why? like almost every churches ive been to. fender! but in our church i play my own ibanez rg.
It must be bluesky reverb.
"It's not a blues festival." lol
Haha ;-)
