Just saw him for the first time this weekend at a small show. Someone mentioned I should check out his wife. I'm blown away. It's beautiful to see 2 people so naturally and unpretentiously sharing their gift.
WOW! I've been involved in worship music since the 70s and all I can say is I'm an instant fan and I've never even heard of you guys until today. This is the way worship music should be... man expressing the purity of God through the purity of his art!
ninoboy213...I think you may be talking about when he moves between the third fret on the second string to the second fret on the second string. Effectively, he goes from a D2 to an A\D - if that's the part to which you refer
i had to watch his fingers over and over, and i love this song but sir michael could take a guitar teaching class or two, :) but patience and a willingness to look at his left and right hand go very far!
That g chord hes talking about is 6th string (low d) 5th fret w/ring finger,mute the 5th string w/that finger,4thstring (high d) open,3rd string 4th fret, then 2nd string 3rd fret. The pinky add on is on the 3rd string 6th fret. The bridge w/the girl harmony is D, Dmaj7/C# ,Bminor, then back to D. The instrumental fill where hes sliding all over the place I just do a 2note octave thing. D-F#-D-C#-F#-C#-B-C#-G-F# That fills in the parts he didnt cover so we can all bless others with the en
One last thing-the D augmented chord he plays before the g in the second go around for the chorus is just like a regular D chord except 3rd string (G) instead of fretting 2nd fret you fret the 3rd fret
@sampide haha yeah I do, it's awesome that you and sasabsabrina play it too! I play it at church occasionally, whenever the songs we play for worship warrant the tinkly gorgeousness of a glockenspiel. It's great to know there are other people out there who play glockenspiel for worship! :D
Hey guys love the song and the How To here but I was wondering if you could go through it and help out a brother who's trying to learn it on the bass? My college praise band wants to play it and i'm trying to learn it....any help?? thanks guys
@ninoboy213 We all have bad days - I'm just givin' you a hard time. But on the real, Gungor's song rocks, it's a good one to learn, and if you watch his fingers, you'll be able to figure it out quicker than asking keyboard theory-warriors on CZcams. Plus you'll be playing it in less time, and enjoying it more. That's all. :-)
@ninoboy213 Nah - You're not being a jerk. It's all good. And asking for help is a great start. But for real, it's straight forward. I remember learning my first song by ear/watching intently at a Third Day concert, and Mac Powell plays right-handed, so I had to mentally switch everything when I was screwing around at home trying to figure it out (Oh yeah...I watched the concert, THEN went home and tried on guitar). Welcome to learning "Em-C-G-D" by ear/sight with no chart.
"Those who are courageous can jump up that octave if they'd like." hahah so funny really great tutorial gonna do my best to be able to play this like a song rather than just hitting the notes correct super slow lol
@ninoboy213 Step 1) Close mouth/stop typing Step 2) Open eyes + Watch intently Step 3) Use pause/rewind with reckless abandon Step 4) Use ears to listen Result: You'll probably be 10x better at playing by ear, PLUS you'll have the confidence and skill of having figured it out instead of asking for it on proverbial silver platter. Not that I'm trying to be a prick - It's all good to ask, but you should try it out first. Drop-D is pretty straight forward, even if you're newbie.
@Ysumguy new to guitar? :) just look it up on youtube, it's just a different way to tune your guitar, and it's really easy to do. i could explain, but theres tons of videos that will make more sense
It's just a regular A chord..he's just using his one finger to bar it. if you don't know what an A chord is, it's just the 2nd fret of your D, G, and B strings pressed down
@desiredfx yes but when the girls sing you make me new you are making me new it doesn't sound like he's playing the D chord the whole time but I cant see his fingers :/
@racer1495 I have to disagree. It stays a little truer to the sound. Idk though what chord would you think might make the sound a little more bearable?
for the most part what you say is true but not always, Hillsong and David Crowder band has some few tricks they use for some of their songs but that guy some freaky long fingers so it makes sense haha also some other bands tune their guitars different as well, it just depends what accommodates you.
Can someone please explain this to me better? The part where the girls sing is weird and I cant figure out what he's doing. He says its a D but there is something else he's doing
I don't think that's what he meant. I think he was just voicing his opinion on how it sounded to his own ear. You didn't really need to attack him like that.
@krutter9900 Calm down buddy. I never said he couldn't do it, I just said I didn't like it. Last time I checked, I'm allowed to have an opinion. And the fact that it's a worship song has NOTHING to do with it. I was just talking about how it sounds.
@juse1101 1) I asked 2 months ago. 2) I understand your not trying to be a prick but it still ticks me off. 3) sorry I'm being a jerk but it's not a good day
yeah, how dare he put an augmented chord in a song about God, how dare he do anything that is different in a worship song. because worship songs MUST sound all the same, predictable and easy.
Sticking with God and adheres to his commandments is the only way to survive on this land..💯
Amen
11 years later this is still better than the main worship stream
Just saw him for the first time this weekend at a small show. Someone mentioned I should check out his wife. I'm blown away. It's beautiful to see 2 people so naturally and unpretentiously sharing their gift.
I've played this at church a few times; playing it again tomorrow. Just a fantastic song. The lyrics are spot on.
WOW! I've been involved in worship music since the 70s and all I can say is I'm an instant fan and I've never even heard of you guys until today. This is the way worship music should be... man expressing the purity of God through the purity of his art!
you guys are genius! created in the image and likeness of God..all glory to the one who makes all things beautiful!
best song on the album, Dry Bones is pretty wicked sweet too.
Thank you I love this song so much! I am new to guitar is this is my top 4 songs to learn first - it inspires me so much thank you for the tutorial!
Beautiful song you guys! I love the message and the harmony is wonderful. :)
It does work well Mike. Thanks for sharing everything with us.
God Bless.
Wonderful! it's absolutely beautiful! Thank You, Shalom!
Thanks for sharing... Loved you concert in Langley BC Canada... Please come back.

This is so awesome, thank you so much for this song. Not to mention that you teach how to play it!

Thank you! Is he also doing an alternate D shape? Especially in the “melodic riff” turnaround in the verses?
I love the song,
it's very nice.
Wow...I love it!

Amazing..just as most of Michael Gungor's songs are!
@Ysumguy Tune your low E string down one whole step to D, it should resonate with your 4th or D string in standard tuning.
@ninoboy213

Beautiful song. Lisa is lovely on the glockenspiel.

perfect.
Anybody know where I can find printed tabs? I don't mean just the little chord letters above the lyrics, I want actual fingering tabs
Thanks!
I completely agree with you there. It really annoys me when worship bands play the same thing over and over and all in the same style.
It's just a regular A chord..he's just using his one finger to bar it. if you don't know what an A chord is, it's just the 2nd fret of your D, G, and B strings pressed down
@desiredfx yes but when the girls sing you make me new you are making me new it doesn't sound like he's playing the D chord the whole time but I cant see his fingers :/
@racer1495 I have to disagree. It stays a little truer to the sound. Idk though what chord would you think might make the sound a little more bearable?
Can someone please tab this? Or send me a link to the tab? The tab I found isn't what he's playing.
@sdbcjuan isnt that a metalaphone?
for the most part what you say is true but not always, Hillsong and David Crowder band has some few tricks they use for some of their songs but that guy some freaky long fingers so it makes sense haha also some other bands tune their guitars different as well, it just depends what accommodates you.
I'm trying to find out what nylon acoustic/electric guitar he uses. (Like in this video). So far with no success. :/
Does anyone know how he played that A at 5:14?
Can someone please explain this to me better? The part where the girls sing is weird and I cant figure out what he's doing. He says its a D but there is something else he's doing
ah, where can i buy a xylophone?? no luck
i would appreciate some deeper explanation on the chord fingerings.
@krutter9900 are you serious? this song is so easy to follow...
@ninoboy213 are you in drop D tunning
how do you do a drop d??
Haha 'Drop D' is wonderful tuning but it ain't for everyone...
@itssuperjoey timholleyos18 hasnt sent me tabs yet =(
Awesome chords. Not the same ol' stuff!
mmmmmmmm Olson guitar. James Taylor, Brian Doerksen, Michael Gungor.
@noreaction1 - Olson guitar
I don't think that's what he meant. I think he was just voicing his opinion on how it sounded to his own ear. You didn't really need to attack him like that.
*correction I'm trying to find out what nylon acoustic/electric guitar he uses. (almost Like in this video). So far with no success. :/
@timholleyos18 could you send me tabs?
@krutter9900 Calm down buddy. I never said he couldn't do it, I just said I didn't like it. Last time I checked, I'm allowed to have an opinion. And the fact that it's a worship song has NOTHING to do with it. I was just talking about how it sounds.
Message me for tab..won't let me post
Strumming?
A lot of times we just call them 'bells' though...
Jeez, trying to mimic his chord shapes.
They get weird for me from 3:40 and on.
i really don't like the sound of that chord in the chorus right before he does the octave jump in his voice. it just sounds bad /:
I like the top comment
@musicgirl125 Might have better luck looking for a glockenspiel
the devil disliked this vid.. lol jk ;P
vg
@juse1101
1) I asked 2 months ago.
2) I understand your not trying to be a prick but it still ticks me off.
3) sorry I'm being a jerk but it's not a good day
if only he didnn't side with Rob Bell :(
yeah, how dare he put an augmented chord in a song about God, how dare he do anything that is different in a worship song. because worship songs MUST sound all the same, predictable and easy.
