What A Beautiful Name - Hillsong Worship - ADVANCED Acoustic Guitar Cover (Video)

This week's advanced acoustic guitar cover/lesson is What A Beautiful Name by Hillsong Worship!

Over on the Leading Worship Well YouTube channel, I recently started a new series called "ADVANCED Acoustic Worship Guitar Tutorials."

It's designed to help worship leaders just like YOU who frequently lead worship with JUST an acoustic guitar. For some of you, that means leading worship at small groups. For others of you, you're the only worship leader at your church and that's how you lead every single Sunday.

So, how is this different than the hundreds of other acoustic worship guitar tutorials on YouTube? This series is made specifically for the intermediate/advanced guitar player. I'm assuming coming into these tutorials that you have the fundamentals of guitar playing down.

That means that you know how to strum a guitar (we won't be talking strum patterns). You know how to read a chord chart (we won't be telling you to put your 2nd finger on the 3rd fret of the E string, your 1st finger on the 2nd fret of the A string...).

Because we don't have to cover the basics, these tutorials will be able to focus on more advanced guitar techniques - and you'll see that in the way the songs are arranged.

We'll be looking at incorporating lead lines into your playing, alternative chord voicings (remember all those New Chord Wednesday chords? - They'll be making some cameos!), and a ton of other advanced guitar techniques.

Each week I'll put out a cover video of a worship song that shows you what the arrangement sounds like. Then, the next day, the tutorial on how to play that song will come out.

So, if you're tired of playing G, C, D, Em over and over again while quietly mumbling under your breath about how all worship songs are boring and sound the same, check out this series!

In this week's video, I show you the song What A Beautiful Name by Hillsong Worship!
