Your acoustic guitar is an incredibly powerful tool. Its melodic and percussive nature allows you to create lots of energy and dynamic if utilized properly. Unfortunately, many worship leaders are under-utilizing this versatile instrument because they have never been taught a handful of simple techniques that can take your acoustic guitar playing to the next level. Whether you lead alone (just you and your acoustic guitar), or you have a worship band, using the six techniques outlined in this episode will help you grow as an acoustic player and better utilize this incredible instrument for God’s glory.

The first half of this episode is a playthrough of a popular worship song (5:00 – 14:43), demonstrating the techniques in action. The second half is an overview and explanation of each technique in detail (14:45 – End). Feel free to skip to whichever part you'll find most helpful. And don't forget to listen at "normal speed" on your podcast app!
