My advice to other guitarists has always been to learn to be a chameleon. Be whatever the song needs you to be and make sure what you do blends in and is seamless. For faster songs, play aggressive (I'm not saying play metal or hard rock necessarily) and help drive the song with your rhythm section. For slow songs, make ambient tones your friends. Delays, reverbs, swells, drones, whatever can help fill holes in the sound is what you need to use. Learn how to play simplistic lead lines with your rhythm (Reckless Love has the easiest lead line to play while strumming out the chords) and do that in transitional periods like between chorus and verse. And the biggest piece of advice is to keep your foundation simple. You don't have to be a shred master or do anything complex. Less is often so much more during worship. Plus if you keep your foundational elements simple, it allows for you to build on more complex elements when the time is right and that makes for dynamic playing.

Really helpful thank s ❤❤

Basically: Diads, triads, open chords, ambience Also, I feel what would help the most is seeing how you create your sounds and what sounds you use for ambience and all that extra stuff that really makes the music sound good

I've been looking for a video like this. thank you so much!! Just started learning guitar a year ago and had no one to guide me or help me find my voice on it within the church. After watching your video i'm inspired to learn your techniques/advice and i aim to sound as good as you. Thank you again and you have most definitely earned my subscription.

Jem so glad I discovered your channel man. Great video! Truly appreciate your heart and what you are doing. Blessings brother!

I love that you touched on inversions and chord shapes. This is something I’ve learned over time that would’ve helped me a lot as a beginner. If you continue this series, I think focusing on comfort positions you often play scales around and how you move between triad shapes would be helpful for people. Cheers!

Jam you are an absolute GEM! you're a gift to the Church and my team is better because of what you bring bro :) THANK YOU.

Bless You Brother.. keep the series going and thank you for sharing. looking forward for more content.

Awesome playing man. Could you do a video about the triads and diads you are using? I tend to always go back to the same triads and it gets boring

Dude! I love this. I’m going to share this to my teams.

Solid Video my man,Thanks for sharing.God Bless

dang man this is an awesome articulation of a really powerful idea!! thank you for making this!!

You are an inspiration for us church player’s!!

Such a good video, we need the next episode!

Great video! I do this a lot where I'm the only electric player. Actually recently for my church I was the only electric guitar player and one of the songs that we did was Champion by Bethel, and for most of the song I played chords, but when it came to the bridge part I played that lead line

I'm worship guitar player, thanks a lot! Very useful! God bless you, Jem!

I wish I could play like this that I can play for God... 😭😭

Thank you for sharing your knowledge bro! God bless you more 😇

I've been looking for some such tutorials and videos like this for such a long time, glad I found your channel...this will really help especially for those who are willing to learn more...Hoping and waiting for the next episodes...this is such a great help for us, I'll surely apply all what I've learned from this video...May God bless you!❤

Great playing, thanks for sharing.

thanks man ! this opens up a different avenue for me to add a bit of spice in my playing in Church. God bless you always brother

Very helpful man!! Love your videos!

Way to go! Keep it up!!!

Bro! Great job as always. You really adopt Nigel's style which is my inspiration also when I was just started learning a guitar.

Wow great video Jem!! ❤

Awesome playing! God bless.

love your sound👏👏👏

Hi, Jem, Thank you for sharing, really useful

awesome video! would love to see more lesson type vids

Great points brought up without going specifically into technique.

Thanks for making this, it was really helpful for me.

Homie I just started playing guitar at Church. I was a guitarist for a local Spanish rock n roll band. But in minute 4:00 when you start saying of who influences us. Damnnn I'm like you right. I have a long way to go before I become a "worship" guitarist. Who I listened to coming up as a guitarist really matters. My influences. Etc. It has been a crazy trip "trying to forget all that and become a new guitarist....but after these couple of minutes I realized I cannot.....I am shaped of who I grew up with what made me get more into guitar. I'ma just have to learn how to incorporate it and become my own person as a church guitar player. Thanks dude keep doing this 🙏

I'm not a guitar player, my kids are...sounds awesome. I've shared it with them and I'm certain they will love it!!!

My Brother in Christ, this was the best version of that Song i`ve ever heard in years! Absolutely amazing and Creative in the Meaning of Creation praises the CREATOR of all Things! In that Bridge part you did not "just showing of" but you gave an hint, of how great and wonderful and creative the inventor of all Music might be... GOD BLESS YOU, and i hope my bad english did not destroy my message of love and encourage for You too much. Keep on the good work for the church and be blessed beyond all understanding from crazy Germany!

i love your videos bro,,, keep growing bro❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful Playing keep on rocking 🔥🔥

What needed to be said to church musicians. Thanks!

This is good stuff!!

Great video !

Mabuhay ka brother! Awesome video, thanks

Jemmuel this was a much needed video. There a lots of "how to" videos out there now showing how to play each note and chord shape. Unfortunately when you are the only guitar player you do have to play a combination of some of the rhythm parts and lead parts. Love your use of triads!

Thank you so much for that!

a true musician, thanks brother

Very cool. I am the only electric guitar in an otherwise full band. I work with incredible musicians and an amazing leader and feel so blessed to be in this situation. Our church uses one of popular subscription services to help musicians learn parts and this is fantastic for bass, drums and acoustic guitars, for example, but often there are 5 or 6 electric guitar parts per song! I use a LOT of the techniques you’ve shown to make sure the most important parts are recognizable to the congregation, but fill the needed space (where and when needed) - and my leader gives me lots of creative latitude that I try not to abuse 😂! This is such a valuable video for so many worship guitarists - we can’t all be in Elevation with 4 guitarists on stage at once!

Bro. you are super talented. Thank you very much for sharing. a bit more advanced that where I am at but so so good to watch.

I hope there’s more episodes like this brother.

Hey Jemmuel! Nice guitar tones and subject approach. A friendly advice here is to pay attention and care with the metronome, where you played ahead of for almost the entire track. By the way, thanks for sharing your amazing content.

This is a nice video. I used to play for a big church but we decided to branch out and start our own little church. we're 2 years in, made progress with the size of congregation but only my brother whos on drums and I on guitar or keyboard who plays. so i find it hard to play any creative riffs while also doing the rythm.

Magaling...this video is very informative. The dyads and triads seems simple but it can be very creative. That make the part hard. I like this video! it is a difficult Guitar made easy.

This is a very helpful video, thank you sir♥️👍🙏🙏🙏🎸🎶

Ep 2 much needed

great job bro！ you got my sub

Yeah Mann!! You rock!!

wow! thanks bro i learned alot!

Thx man this helps a lot 💪

Absolutely amazing.

I've been using that technique in church but I didn't know it's called diads and triads. I learned it myself while learning scales

❤thanks sir i was really motivated by ur playing

Cool shirt 440 you are in tune 👍 Like the way you call out the triad by numbers 351 vs F shape... Haven't figured out the best to think of my shapes...

That tone is dope

Wow nice technique in worship rig

Grabe galing ,godbless you my brother ,thank jesus for your talent❤

I’m joining the choir: PLEASE DO EPISODE 2!

very nice, very good

Guacamole! That was inspiring.

Thank you very much for this video. I'm originally a bass player and started playing guitar at my church. I play better finger style than I do with a pick. I came to the conclusion that I don't have to sound exactly like the original versions and can make it my own. Thanks for stressing this point. Also, I'm a big on using the capo. So much truth to using different voicing on the guitar. Stay blessed!!!

Jeff beck did not use a pick in his latter years

It spun my head a bit when you name dropped Hendroff and Chislett as people we look up to. Because I went to Hillsong in the 90's and those 2 guys were my guitar hero's. And literal guitar teachers. Small world.

Very inspiring

That was awesome

Nice!

excellent !

Fantastic video! Happy KZread algorithm got me to you

I wish I’d found you on my early days, I’ll learn quicker now.

This is great.. I play on church to, somethimes guitar somethimes keyboard.. You are good bro..

Superb

Love this! looking forward to the technique lessons on maj/min triads, maj/min scales, maj/min pentatonics. There are other videos out there explaining them, but I want to learn them from Jem - especially in the context of intermediate level weekend warrior volunteer electric lead guitarists playing worship music :)
