How to make the most of Worship Guitar Academy
We're unlike any other guitar site - here's our guide to get you started.
WGA (Worship Guitar Academy) is built around one idea: you can play any worship song at your current skill level.
Not after more lessons. Not once you've mastered a few more techniques. You can play worship rhythm guitar and we'll show you how.
Everything on this site exists to make that true for you.
How this site is organized
Learn is a reference library, not a curriculum. It's here for when you hit a gap — something you don't understand, a concept that keeps tripping you up, a skill you want to shore up. You don't work through it in order. You come back to it when something comes up.
Songs gets you playing a specific song as fast as possible. Each page surfaces what actually matters for that song — the key, capo position, and the chord shapes worth knowing — so you can make quick decisions and get to playing. If you have a setlist, start there.
Courses contains free and paid courses you can use to level up your playing and apply the frameworks that make WGA different from every other guitar site out there. I recommend starting with Learn Any Song to get started developing your ear when learning a brand new song. If you're new to strumming, the Foundational Strumming Patterns for Worship Guitarists will get you confidently playing songs using 3 easy to learn strum patterns.
Shop contains all of our famous chord cheat sheets.
Sign in using an email (use the same one every time to access your purchases) and a one-time code sent to your email. Once signed in, you'll be able to see all of your purchases and view them fully online or download as needed (you can download the cheat sheets).
Where to start
WGA is built to be the place you can visit when you need some help. Whether it's a quick reminder of how to play a chord, or the best way to transition from one chord to the next.
If you want to understand how the WGA approach works before diving into songs, start with Learn Any Song. It's the clearest statement of how this site thinks about learning.
If something specific is holding you back — chord changes, reading a chord chart, figuring out a key — browse the Learn tab.
You're good enough right now, but you're not done leveling up
Every other guitar resource is built around the assumption that you need to get better before you can contribute. At WGA, we take the opposite approach.
The skill level you have today is the one you start with. Our framework is designed to work with your current skill set — not around it, not despite it. You don't need to feel ready. You just need to start playing and we'll be here to help point you in the right direciton.
