I’m just a beginner at guitar playing. And you know, there are so many talented people in the world who are using the talent that God gave for themselves. And I’m thankful that you do this for Jesus! And it gives me hope that some day I’m gonna play these songs for Jesus! Be blessed!

You make the easiest and straight forward tutorials, God bless you ❤️🥹

Thanks for this tutorial very helpful... just wanted to add this comment...

This lesson finger pattern (change 6 to 5 for root 5):
Root on 6
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 &
6 3 6 2 6 3 6 3 6 2 6 3

Or think just repeat this twice:
1 & 2 & 3 &
6 3 6 2 6 3

Another option I saw for this song was (change 6 to 5 for root 5):
Root on 6
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 &
6 3 4 2 4 3 6 3 4 2 4 3

Or think just repeat this twice:
1 & 2 & 3 &
6 3 4 2 4 3

When playing above seems best focus a lot on the root and the and of 2 with other notes softer.

Praise on!

We have to be FAITHFUL.

Hi thank you so much for this video and your other lesson on this song. We go to The Father's House in Vacaville California. They sing it often. Now I can play it and sing it thanks to you. I have a Taylor 526CE one of 100 made. It's awesome. Love your black top also.

I dont even have a guitar... Had to sell it years ago, but this was so much fun to watch!!! Can't wait to have another guitar and return to learn this. I absolutely love this song and the way you break down all the parts! God bless you!
