As a country player with a degree in jazz guitar from an HBCU, this was the video I needed. Thank you 🙏 I’ve always loved classic gospel guitar but didn’t don’t have a background in that musical or church tradition. I’m definitely implementing the info here into my country and jazz playing. 🙏 thank you!

Man that intonation! ♥️

The best Gospel guitar tutorial I've seen yet. Thanks DL

Thank you for naming and matching the grooves to the progression. It bugs me that other teachers don't explain it lol I think of everything through numbers and degrees of the key. Not notes. Very helpful!

Thank God for you

This is such a good guitar lesson. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent!!!

I’m just getting started on guitar. I feel like this is everything I needed. And my guy is a great teacher!!

Wonderful! I have learned so much watching this! Bless you my brother

Brooo, thank you soo much!!! I've been playing metal and rock for years and now I have a church gig and I hear all these guys doing all this tasteful stuff with tirads. I've been searching and searching for info and this is the BEST video out there hands down! I love that you leave space for us to play along with you and catch the vibe! SUBSCRIBED!

Great lesson! I've been playing for quite a while and it's always refreshing to see someone who presents a simple approach to helps other broaden their skills. Very nice!! Looking forward to checking out your other clips and following you for new material.

Thanks for keeping it basic and simple. A man who died I remember him playing some of these chords

Thank you my brother! This lesson cleared up a lot of my problems with the number system. I have been playing music by ear for so long, I have to refresh my chords and progressions. Very clear lesson. Excellent!

So far the best and most explanatory gospel guitar tutorial I have come across on RU-vid.... U did justice bro... Thumbs up🙌

what a gorgeous tone ! thanks for your post.. love it

I come back to this video whenever I want to brush up on my extensions. You're a godsend brother 🙏

You are a life saver. Just got a church gig and I wanted to make sure I got things down right before I showed up thank you

Impactful simple tutorial. Thank you so much. Learning from Namibia

BEAUTIFUL VID man thanks! For a beginner like me, it’s alwayss easier to show the specific chord chart on the screen. Thanks!🙏🏾🙏🏾

You are a great teacher! I'm mostly a blues,blues rock guitarist but looking to get out of my rut and your lessons are helping me! Thanks 👍👍

I have found my teacher 🙌🏾🇿🇦. Thank you

Great channel! Old guy, here! I just started learning praise/gospel guitar thanks to RU-vid tutorials like yours, although I’ve (kinda) played guitar for years. Your style and tone in particular are what I’ve been looking for. (I’d like to hear you tear it up in a performance setting). Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’m sure I’m not the only person who’s loving it. Great looking guitar, btw. I hope RU-vid-based music instructors are getting support (maybe even endorsements) from some of the instrument and gear companies out there. If not, then you should, because you’re selling the hell out of that Gretsch.

Great video...made me realise as Englishman in London just how much I've been influenced by gospel music. There's a lot of jazz in there. Been teaching myself some gospel piano stuff and this vid pulls it together...gotta love that Pastor TL Burnett! Many thx.

Great video lesson Sir! You are an excellent teacher! Thank you for sharing your expertise and breaking things down.

Your rhythm is amazing😭

You are a blessing my brother.

This stuff is gold, thanks man! Bless you brother! 🙏

DUDE! You are simply fantastic! What a fascinating, educational...and entertaining, video! Many thanks and carry on. Peace be unto you, my brother of the six strings.

Five seconds in and I like him already

This is a great tutorial. Ive been a bassist for over 10 years now and ive been learning guitar for about a year now. Its stuff like that BbMaj Eb lick thing that ive been dying for. Guitarists have all this cool vocabulary ways to sound rhythmic over chords that im in a rush to learn haha. Right on bro

This…changes…everything! Thank you so much for this brother!

Stumbled upon your channel and realising that omg how much you help me learning and playing guitar

life changing! great

Bunch of gems here

Hello teacher!!! I'm from Brazil and I found your channel and I'm following your classes aulas Congratulations

Thank you I really appreciate the knowledge given!! God Bless

I’m 12 minutes in and I’ve learned so much already… I’ve been playing guitar for almost 10 years now and I think this is the most insightful lesson I’ve ever heard. God bless you brother, thank you for this!

Bruh you are dope, and you teaching style makes it easier to comprehend.

Love that guitar. Just bought a 99 Gretsch Roundup. I’m hooked on Gretsch now.

Thank you so much, dude. I've been slowly trying to learn jazz guitar and this was very helpful. Can thg wait to try out these fancy new chords

This is what I needed! I really appreciate "The Turn Around". I appreciate you teaching it with clarity without going too fast. Thank you for also calling out the chords while showing us good finger placement for them as well. Thank you for taking your time teaching this. Definitely will take my time learning this one.

such a lovely groove you got

I can give you a godly kiss my brother... you opened up some things that OTHER musicians and guitarist could not explain properly.... I saved this video a long time ago but I was not ready for it until now... no one explained triads like you did... I knew what they are but didnt know how to form them on the guitar... they are rather simple if you understand root, 1st inversion and 2nd inversions and movable chords... and chord scales + knowing your notes.... this video was extremely helpful with helping me get the sound that I was missing. I was playing a minor ONE when it should have been a major ONE.... mine didn't sound BAD with other musicians but I know my chords never sounded like THEIRS and you helped me realized why... it was simple... I was not adding the major 3rd to the ONE. I was playing everything as a minor or a dominant 7, which is a b7 and b3 but the sound I was missing was the major 3... and the triad 3-5-1 gave that to me thanks to you.... either guitar musicians are selfish and dont want to help others, either they dont know what the chord names are or they simply dont know how to teach.... even with calling a Bb a B I still could follow along with this and you are on point and gracious to show others how to play.... I appreciate you... Im hoping and praying your channel is monitored and God is blessing you according to your giving spirit. I know Theory but Im learning how to apply the theory into application. I am currently writing a book about music theory, I would love to feature you in my book. if you are interested please inbox me on my channel... God Bless you. you gained a subscriber as well as a new like.

Wow!! great lesson and great feeling, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, this will be very useful to increase my vocabulary

Thank you. Your Gretsch guitar is beautiful. Your timing is impeccable. Your right hand is like a metronome you are a great player. Thank you for this wonderful lesson I will be studying it.

Thanks for the tutorial! You are saving my LIFE lol I just got back into playing lead guitar for my church and I’m definitely struggling with a lot of the really “churchy” grooves and sounds. I’m moving along slowly but surely, and this video helps tremendously🙌🏽

Beautifully played and sweet guitar.

Very pretty and pleasing melodic playing on such a lovely sounding guitar. As a guitarist for book trailers about comics who seeks inspiration, your instruction here is nice since you clearly explain how to use specific chords and model them at various speeds as you emotively play. Cheers!

Every good lesson.

Great video ! Thank you for putting this together! Really helped me.

God Bless you in Jesus Name, thank you brother for your lessons and playing with us!

This is a very nice lesson. Could be for a beginner, but probably not. This is one of those lessons that's informative for someone who can already play a little. Much kudos to this guy and his teaching style.

Thanks. You are a blessing.

Very nicely done!

Agree! best lesson I have ever gotten!! Thanks brother!

I’ve been playing guitar for decades been around blues guys who did this but never explained it wow 😯

Beautiful lesson boss. Tnx. A great inspiration to beginners like me

❤ luv what you can do my brother you are a great teacher

Thank you so much for this! I'm trying out for my local church and this helps tremendously

Man the right lesson on the right time, thank you so much for this! Liked and suscribed!

very nice DL, thank you!

my church is starting to play more like black church gospel and we love it. but your tutorials help me alot to transition my play style! thank you sir!!!

Outstanding content in this lesson! Thank you!

Awesome 😎

This was so helpful! Thank you!

Love the color of that axe!!! That’s sharp! Great tone as well 😁. Thanks for the lesson, you make jazzy music fun 😁👍🏼👍🏼

Love this very good instructor

Man I cant wait to rock my church with this

This caught me off guard. Very good lesson. Was looking for something like this. Great job!

Gunna get my praise on. Thank you brother

From the intro I knew this was gonna be great!

I see I have a lot to learn from you! thank you so much

Master class, Amazing.

Great strumming and nice tone

Thanks for this. Very helpful.

Superb teaching thank you so much

You betta play🔥🔥

Very helpful video ..........and this can be used in a lot of other genres as well.

Yo when you started tuning that had me TRIPPIN 😂. The faces you made. I know that feeling all too well and I only started playing a week ago

Nice video. I’ve watched it twice already, but I probably need to repeat another couple more times. I’m planning check out your other videos!

GREAT LESSON👌🏽👌🏽

Guitar is beautiful

The single most important video for church guitarists right here. You can sub these chords in at any time vs playing basic major or minors. Learn the number system and understanding this becomes soo much easier. Your picking and accenting then becomes your style. Cheers bro!

They never played sings like that in our church... we only had an organ. I gotta convert.... fantastic lesson

bro i love your channel.
