worship Guitar (Guitar Review)-Praise and Worship or Rock

     Are you ready for an honest opinion. A great review on which guitar you need for whatever genre of music you are pursuing. Well here it is. Although we will mainly focus on two genres, and since this is a Christian based blog, those two will be Christian Rock and Praise & Worship.
     First off and foremost if you want to be a Praise and worship leader who plays guitar I suggest you invest in a good acoustic guitar. I also recommend that it is an acoustic electric, so you can plug straight into a PA system and not have to worry about putting a pickup in that may damage your guitar, or putting a microphone in front of it to project the sound.
    My top recommendation for an acoustic electric guitar, as far as price and quality goes has to be a Breedlove. You can purchase an all natural wood Breedlove acoustic electric guitar for as little as $579.00. For the quality of a Breedlove you can't beat the price.
     For all you Christian Rockers out there, you have a few options as there are a few mini genres in Rock for which different electric guitars would apply. Let me also say this, it is easier and more feasible to play a guitar that is recommended for hard guitar shredding like a Jackson in a praise and worship setting than it is to play one recommended for praise and worship like an
 Epiphone Hollowbody in a hardcore rock setting, if you know what I mean. As for myself chose a different route since I play in a Christian rock band and also play electric guitar on my Church's music praise team. A great guitar I recommend for a situation like mine is an
Epiphone Nighthawk. The Nighthawk is a very versatile guitar that can be used in various genre settings, and again the quality is great for the price.     
     So in essence I've almost given my review in my explanation. However, I want to give you my preferences along with the electric guitars that I recommend for whatever type of music you are doing. Recommendations for genres go as fallows:

Regular Rock:

• Epiphone Nighthawk
• Gibson LesPaul
• Paul Reed Smith
• Fender Stratocaster

 Hardcore:

• Paul Reed Smith
• Ibanez
• Jackson
• Schecter

Contemporary Praise & Worship:

• Gibson Holowbody
• Epiphone Holowbody
• Fender Telecaster
• Gretch

Amazing Grace (My chains are gone)

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything, I hope this will make up for it. Here is Chris Tomlin's version of Amazing Grace. Enjoy!!!!!


C                              F             C                       Am                 G
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
  C             C          F            C                Am               G   C
I once was lost but now I’m found, was blind but now I see
C                       C              F          C                            Am     G
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fears relieved
              C       C          F         C            Am     G       C
How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed
CHORUS
C                     F                             C
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free
                      F                                C
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
                  F                        Am
And like a flood His mercy reigns
                  F     G           C
Unending love, amazing grace
C                    C            F           C                          Am     G
The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures
      C          C              F          C       Am      G      C
He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures
(Chorus)
C                      C         F               C                        Am       G
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, the sun forbear to shine
       C              C             F         C            Am   G    C
But God, who called me here below will be forever mine
        Am    G     C
Will be forever mine
        Am     G    C
You are forever mine
