Christian Musician Summit 2024

Looking to reach beyond simple Major and minor chords? As a rhythm guitar player, sometimes it’s nice to break out of standard formulas. Chordal embellishment can add beauty to your accompaniments for worship, whether you’re strumming or fingerpicking. Come explore some chords you may have never played, which could add color to the chords you know, and enhance your toolkit as you enjoy your guitar in a new way.

If you’ve got more than one rhythm guitar player on your team; if you want to more intentionally leverage your capo to gain full access to any key; if you want to expand your playing beyond open position with chords, scales, and more, this workshop will empower you on all fronts.

A deep look at every aspect of creating great guitar tones

If you’ve ever been one of two guitarists playing on the worship platform and felt like there was a sonic ceiling, this class is for you.  Instead of awkwardly stepping on each other’s notes or playing the exact same chords, learn some ways to contrast and complement the other guitarist’s offerings using countermelodies, register, capo positions and rhythmic artistry in this new class.  Co-taught by Dave Cleveland and David Harsh.

What are you doing to enhance your musical offerings beyond your guitar playing? In this class, we’ll talk about the delicate art of strumming and speaking simultaneously, 10 ways to transition smoothly between songs in worship, and six ways to communicate effectively with your band from your guitar (without saying a word).
