So you want to learn worship guitar, but
you don’t know where to start? Like any form of music, worship music can seem a bit confusing for a beginner; there
are so many songs, how will you know which are easy and which are more advanced?
Today, we’ll discuss some of the easiest worship guitar songs to learn to get you started on the right
track.
Before we begin, it is important that you take a look at your skills. To learn these beginner worship songs on
guitar, you will need a basic understanding of chords.
You only need to know the most basic of chords (of course!) but you will need the knowledge just the same. If
you don’t yet know your basic chords, or have trouble memorizing them, take some time to learn them. Set aside a
block of time devoted to learning the basic chords by name and by sound.
The first beginner worship song to learn is Amazing Love. This song only consists of three chords, A, D, and E.
This means the song will be easy to remember as well as learn.
Here is the order of the chords for Amazing Love.
