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.

The song can be played following this order. Repeat the Chorus and Bridge toward the end of the song to your liking, up to two times each.

Chords and chord transitions

First choose the key you will be playing the song in. Then try selecting different Capo options until the "Play shapes in" shows a key you are familiar with and Chord Shapes below are ones you know. This allows you to play the song using chords you know while the song is in a key you don't know.

Simply click or tap on any Chord shape buttons to see common ways to play each chord in the song. Chord transitions are also shown to show optimized chord shapes.

You can play the chords of the original key using C chord shapes with capo 1.

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.
