Where to learn to play guitar
It is very helpful to be able to play the guitar as a church planter.
Whether you end up leading worship at some point or not, it is nice
to be able to pick up a guitar and lead a song now and then at the
end of a message or at a meeting.
If you have some innate musical skills and rhythm
invest the relatively minimal time that is needed to learn to be
proficient with guitar worship.
• Pick up a chord chart. This is a simple way to learn to
play. Most worship songs are written with guitar chords. If you
learn about 20 of the most common chords you can play the majority
of songs.
• Take lessons at a guitar shop.
• Ask someone who leads worship already to give you tips on
getting better. Again, this is what I have done over the years.
Most of what I have learned past the acquisition of chords I have
gotten from other guitar players.
