How Great Is Our God

Minimum skill needed to play

You can play this song if you are comfortable with the chords and any basic strumming pattern. Chords are evenly spaced so transitions are predictable and have a lot of breathing room before the next chord change.

Chords and chord transitions

You can play the chords of the original key using C chord shapes with capo 1. Use the Chord Shape Finder below to pick what chord shapes you want to play. Here's how it works:

• First choose the key of the song.
• Then choose the capo fret until "Play shapes in" shows a key you are familiar with and the chords listed in "Chord Shapes" are ones you know or want to learn. This allows you to play the song using chords and chord shapes you know while the song is in a key you don't know.
• View chords and chord transition pairs for suggested voicings.

What to watch out for

Playing this song a little slow is fine, but don't play it too slow or it will feel like it drags on forever.

With the same four chords repeated over and over, be aware of how much you press with your fingertips. They can start to hurt if you choose chords with anchor fingers (fingers that stay in place from chord to chord).

How to play this song solo

Pick a speed at or around the original BPM of 76 (can be a bit slower), play a deliberate and smooth strumming pattern and stay consistent throughout.

Strum a little quieter on the verses, more confidently on the chorus, and build from soft to driving on the bridge into the last full chorus.
