Guitar Chords For Worship Music

For guitarists who want to play worship music, memorizing chords are essential. Guitar chords for worship music are essential in any praise guitar music. Melodies are not frequently used in worship music, so chords become the foundation to every song. Having an understanding of basic music theory and chord structures is quite helpful in the realm of praise music, especially for guitarists. Let's review a brief lesson on the different keys and the chords that accompany them.



Each musical key has three major chords and three minor chords to its name. The major chords are based on the first, fourth, and fifth note of the scale. The minor chords are based on the second, third, and sixth note of each scale. Find below the majors and minors for the main musical keys used in guitar:



Major: Minor:

C: C, F, G Dm, Em, Am

G: G, C, D Am, Bm, Em

D: D, G, A Em, F#m, Bm

A:, A, D, E Bm, C#m, F#m

E: E, A, B F#m, G#m, C#m

B: B, E, F# C#m, D#m, G#m

F: F, Bb, C Gm, Am, Dm



If possible, guitarists should memorize these music fingering sets, as it is easier to determine the key of songs or transpose songs if you know each set. Time and use will fix the chords and sets in one's brain, making worship music much easier to work out.

If you need help in the guitar chord fingerings or shapes, you should refer to guitar chord charts. There are many online websites that offer free guitar charts for downloading. If you are lazy, you can also grab a guitar chart chords book in any music store. These chord charts allows you to visualize guitar chord shapes easier.



There are many cheating positions for some of the more challenging chords on the guitar, but if possible, guitarists should learn how to play the original positions. These challenging chords are usually referred to as bar chords and can be difficult for people with weak hands or little experience. However, these guitar chords make worship music richer and more beautiful, not to mention they open up a world of new worship music, chord progressions, and sounds.



Worship music is not overly difficult to master, and a guitarist who knows a few basic chords can get away with a lot. However, the more a person knows about chords and how to play them, the easier and better praise music becomes.
