Lead your community in worship with rhythm guitar

It’s no surprise there is such a large disconnect from the home church and mega church when it comes to worship. It seems like everyone is trying to copy the big churches. While their version of worship is fun and full, it doesn’t work for smaller groups.

Trying to force it isn’t the answer.

Adding pads and backing tracks isn’t the answer.

The answer is you, the rhythm guitarist who has a passion for worship.

We’re here to show you how using your current skills can be just as effective for leading worship.

Adapt worship songs to your style and skills, not the other way around

You don’t have to be an expert guitar player to lead worship.

You certainly don’t have to be able to play the top 10 worship songs from last month either.

You can lead your community in heartfelt worship with a guitar, a new perspective and some inspiration.

Grab your guitar, we’ve got the perspective, are you ready?

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long do the courses take?

    Each of the 3 levels vary in length as they approach playing songs differently. Each course builds on the next, but you can start at whichever you feel applies best to your current skill level.

    Ambitious students may complete a course in a few weeks, or it may take you a few months. It’s really up to you.

  • Will my hands hurt?

    For absolute beginners and those who have taken a few months off from playing, you will probably experience some discomfort, which is completely normal. What’s happening is your fingertips are developing callouses and your hand and forearm muscles are getting a workout!

    Stretch and take breaks often and you’ll be just fine.

  • What's included in each course?

    Each level includes the base lessons along with additional practice lessons to help solidify what you are learning.

  • What equipment do I need?

    You should have access to an acoustic or electric guitar, a tuner, a pick, and a quiet location you can consistently use to follow along and practice the lessons.

  • Do i need to be on a worship team first?

    While we believe leading on a worship team of any size is a great way to serve, there is certainly no requirement to be a member of a worship team to take any of these courses.
