Why Worship Guitar Lessons?

I think that worship guitar lessons are a great way to go when learning to play guitar. That’s basically how I learned to play, and I’ve been doing music and leading worship for a living for the better part of my adult life. Now, I didn’t have a teacher or instructor, which would have made things go much faster, and I would have learned more correctly, but basically worship guitar lessons is the way I learned.

Instead of learning boring scales and music theory, I put the learning to the test immediately after learning. First I would pick out one of my favorite praise and worship guitar songs and then learn the chords—and only those chords—from the song. Now, I was on my own as far as strumming patterns went, which is where an instructor would have been very helpful. But I managed to band out a few strumming patterns, and immediately start playing songs that I was familiar with from church.

Again, worship guitar lessons implies there is someone actually teaching, which I heartily recommend. If you can find a good online program, that seems like the best way to go. A) it’s much cheaper than a live person, B) you can pause and rewind the lesson as many times as you need to, and C) you can do your lesson anytime day or night, on your schedule.

Online worship guitar lessons are great too because it’s nice to be able to go at your own speed and practice at a pace that feels comfortable to you. Well, Godspeed with your learning!
