I sent some guys a link to some youtube clips the other day where Paul Baloche was teaching some basic stuff on playing guitar in worship. Got some replies basically saying “Thanks for the link, and I’d never thought of looking on Youtube for this stuff”.
So, want to learn guitar? Check it out on YouTube. Maybe it’s just because us Christians are such lovely helpful people as well, but you’ll also find a lot of people have posted their own little instructional clips on how to play specific worship songs. Some of it’s a bit hit and miss, but most of it definitely help anyone who’s beginner to intermediate, and there’s some stuff on there that will help or inspire the most advanced of players (like all the people who’ve posted their own screaming electric guitar versions of Pachelbel’s canon!).
Here’s a few good places to start:
Paul Baloche – tips on playing and leading in worship, along with some specific tips on his songs: http://uk.youtube.com/user/balochemusic and http://www.youtube.com/user/leadworshipdotcom
Worshiptogether’s New song cafe – a lot of songwriters stepping through their songs: http://www.youtube.com/user/NewSongCafe
