If you listen to contemporary church music you will probably notice that there are certain chord progressions that are used quite often. In this lesson we will be taking a look at two of those progressions. The first progression is a 14541 progression in the key of G major. I will show you two different ways to play this progression so that you have some options when choosing which chord voicings to use. The second progression is a 1564 progression in the key of E major. This is probably the most common progression in this style of modern church music. I have supplied you with the TAB, notation and chord diagrams for each progression.
Let’s take a look at the 14541 chord progression. We are in the key of G major so the 1 chord is a G major, the 4 chord is a C major and the 5 chord is a D major. If you are not familiar with the open chord shapes take some time to learn the chords by going through the chord diagrams that I have given you. The 14541 progression would end up being G major, C major, D major, C major and back to G major. The strumming pattern that I used for this progression is pretty typical of the contemporary praise style. Check out the TAB for the strumming details.
Now instead of playing regular open chords for this 14541 progression I went ahead and gave you some less common chord shapes for the G, C and D chords that you can use to play the progression. These chords use mostly just the top four strings for a completely different and lighter sound. Again, if you are not familiar with the shapes just check out the chord diagrams or TAB.

The next progression that we are going to learn is a 1564 progression in the key of E major. In the key of E major the 1 chord is E major, the 5 chord is a B major, the 6 chord is a C# minor and the 4 chord is an A major. The 1564 progression in the key of E major would be E major, B major, C# minor and A major. Check out the chord diagrams and the TAB if you do not know the shapes for the chords that we are using.
Play around with these progressions and start to try to memorize what they sound like and how the chords flow. If you work on this you will start to recognize these progressions in some of the church music that you are learning or just listening to.

Rise: G Major — Praise & Worship Guitarist
Amazing love is a song you can play with 3 easy guitar chords: G, C, and D. This is a simplified version, of course, but it still sounds
This is a great worship song (I personally love this song!), and a great one to play as a part of any worship team, in front of your church, or just learn by yourself to sing along to whenever you'd like.
None of the chords mentioned here involve any bars or capos. You'll be able to play this relatively easily in standard tuning (E A D G B E).
Guitar Chords Praise And Worship
If you don't remember how this song goes and need a refresher, here's the first verse and chorus to jog your memory.
Difficulty: There's some quicker chord switching in this song in both the verses and the chorus, a little more so in the chorus. Other than that, it's easy to play once you learn the chords.
Who You Say I Am is another easy song you can learn to play on guitar without too much struggle. The chords are fundamental, core chords that you'll have to learn at one point or another (or should already know if you've been playing for a period of time!)
Christian Gospel Worship Song Lyrics With Chords
Note: All of the songs from this point onward will be played with 4 chords. Even though I could've simplified a few of them even more into just 3 chords, they just wouldn't have sounded the same. I decided to do all I could to keep the essence of the music.
You'll notice that the remainder of the songs listed here sound a bit richer than the first song we simplified down to only 3 chords (Amazing Love). Even though Amazing Love still sounds good, adding an E Minor (Em) into the chord progression would
While playing the verses you alternate the last chord between G and C, but all the root chords played here remain the same.
Praise And Worship Piano Book Vol. 1 Piano Vocal Guitar
Difficulty: Contains intermediate-paced chord switching (once every 2 seconds or so during the song). It's relatively easy to play once you can switch chords quickly with some practice.
10, 000 Reasons by Matt Redman is a song most of us easily recognize. It's unique in that it actually starts with the chorus and then goes on into the verse.
As I mentioned in the previous description (Who You Say I Am), every song from this point on is going to have 4 chords instead of 3 (giving them a richer sound, and having them all sounding even more like the original!)

Once again, these aren't tricky chords. After practicing for a few hours (this is, realistically, how long it should take if you're new to this - perhaps a bit longer), you'll be able to have these chords down pretty well.
When I was learning my first chord progression on guitar, it took me roughly a week (practicing an hour or so a day), until I could play the chords without looking at the frets, purely by muscle memory.
You can get to a good point with a few hours of practice, but it'll take a little longer to develop the muscle memory for each chord.
Worship The Lord Today Guitar Easy Piano
Difficulty: Easy to play. You'll be switching chords once every line in this song, at a bit of slower pace compared to the last few. The only part that may be a bit more difficult is that there isn't a repeating chord progression; it changes slightly throughout the song.
This is another excellent song from Hillsong Worship. Broken Vessels is relatively easy to learn, as it contains the same four chords we've been seeing over and over again in the last few songs.
If you stop and look at the most common chords all of these worship songs contain, you'll notice that Em, G, D, and C appear
Elevation Worship
Learn these four chords, and you're already 75% of the way there to play just about every worship song we list! Pretty cool, isn't it?
This song is a little bit more difficult in that it doesn't have a rotating chord progression. When I say rotating, I mean playing the same four chords over and over again in the same order each time.
Difficulty: Even though this song contains five chords (instead of the usual 3 or 4 up until now), the chord progression is fairly simple. This makes it easy to play once you've mastered the chords and can comfortably transition between them.
How Great Is Our God By Chris Tomlin Chris Tomlin
And we finally come across our first 5-chord song! Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds. And if you've been following along with some of the earlier songs I mentioned, you should already have G, C, Em, and D down.
The one new chord we've been seeing here is A Minor (Am), but luckily, it's also a reasonably straightforward chord to grasp.
Is mostly played with those four chords. The only place that a D chord comes up is in the bridge of the song (and it's only played once).
Why Worship Songs Use A Capo
This song is a slower, quieter worship song that would work great when mixed into a worship set either before or after a prayer (or if a softer song is desired).
The lyrics are easy to remember once you've heard the song all the way through at least one time (but with the chorus, you can even pick that up on your first time singing this song due to it repeating).
Difficulty: Involves some quicker chord switching in the chorus. A little more difficult than most of the songs we've mentioned earlier, but still very doable with some quality practice. Transposed -5 into an easier key (G).
Wake: G Major (original Key) — Praise & Worship Guitarist
Cornerstone by Hillsong is a great worship song -- I personally love singing it! This is a more upbeat song that would fit in great as the last worship song when closing out your set (if you'll be playing this with your worship band).
Using only four chords (the same ones we've already used numerous times in previous worship songs above), this song should be easy to pick up no matter what your level of play is.
The chord progression is as follows: G, Em, C, D. Once you learn these chords and get them down to where you can quickly transition between them, you'll make quick work of picking
