Chord Diagrams
Strumming Pattern
Brian thank you so much for posting this video. Very basic chords but I was struggling trying to figure it out. I am very new to playing the guitar and your website is has been teaching me how to play. I listen to Ryan Ashbury teach on Luke 15 while playing this song at a conference and just was moved by how God gives people this amazing gift to write music. So stoked you put this up and can’t wait to start learning this new song. Thank you so much
Thanks Tim! I was surprised by how easy this one was, too when I charted out the chords.
Fantastic job Brian! I just came across this song today to be honest and it was growing on me already but your cover of it is great. Adding it to my list.
Thanks Brad!
Hey Brian, I really liked the electric riff that you did with this song. I was wondering what effects you used with the helix? Also what chords you used as well?
Hey Chris – just a bit of delay and reverb for that. It’s a pretty simple riff without anything crazy effects-wise.
I’d love to see tutorial lessons for lead piano.
Not sure if this is the version of the Cory Asbury song you are referring to, but it is in F#, not F – which means your demonstration would line up in the same key, F# (Gb): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc6SSHuZvQE
Do you take a finger off of your G and D chords??????
Hey, Brian, Thanks for this tutorial! I am wondering how the Bm is used with the open E string on top? That’s confusing to me. An E in the chord, especially on the top seems to be a different animal altogether. You’ve got BDADE in that chord, don’t you want the F# on fret 2?.
Hey Brian, I have been taking your free beginner guitar course for the last week or so, and I can say with confidence that I have definitely grown faster than anticipated. Thank you so much for offering the beginner course for free.
I just noticed that when you are playing the chords you are using 1,2 & 3 instead of 1,2 & 4. Right now the Holy Spirit brought that to my attention and how easy it is to transition between chords. Is this something that you do often? And will it always work once we know what chords are being played for a song? I hope you see this because I would really love to apply this tactic to the rest of my practice and continuation of the beginner course.
All the best,
Christopher
