New Strumming Pattern and Some Music Theory

New Strumming Pattern and Alternative Chords I've got a new strumming pattern for you this week.  It goes along with 2 songs I've already given you. These songs are: How He Loves Who You Say I Am Here's a link a soft printable copy of this sheet Generally, most worship songs have beats that can be counted in and/or divided by 4 beats (4/4 time signature). The first strumming pattern we discussed goes with those kinds of songs. For review it looks like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 A A A A A A Accents (hard strums) are on counts 1, 4, and 7. There are however, a number of songs where the beats can be divided by 3 (in 6/8 time signature). The songs above are like this, and I would say that this strumming pattern is something of a natural pattern for playing the guitar. It looks like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 A A A A Accents (hard strums) are on counts 1 a

First Post & Get Together

Hi Everyone, Welcome to the Worship Guitar Small Group Blog! I thought that since we'll playing songs and learning about guitar and a bit of music theory and things, it might be handy to have everything available for you on the web - so here we are! Here's links to chord charts for the songs we went over (or we'll be practicing in the future) My Redeemer Lives - Key of E How He Loves - Key of E How Great is Our God - Key of G Open the Eyes of My Heart - Key of E Lord, I Need You - Key of E Guitar Basics ( link to this info below in a document) Common musical scales have 8 notes.  Most popular songs, including worship songs are written using 4 chords that are built off of certain note numbers in these scales.  Those note numbers are: 1, 4, 5, 6. Put together in a little graphic with two common scales as examples, it looks like this: Note # 1 2 (minor) 3 4 5 6 (minor) 7 1 or 8 G scale G A B C D Em F# G E

Strumming (take II)

Strumming Reviewing what we’ve talked about regarding strumming so far (which really hasn’t been much), it looked like this: Simple strumming for most songs also goes to a count of eight down-strokes/strums. Accents (hard strums) are on counts 1, 4, and 7, like this: G                                                                                                                                   D/F# Name            a - bove               all names                                         You are 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 A A A A A A Em                                                                                                                                D Worthy                   of all                praise         and my Let’s break that down further, as remembering to accent strums on 1,4, and 7 while you’re ALSO t
