  • Master the right strumming pattern for the song
  • Find easy ways to play complex chords
  • Get the right rhythm and pacing
  • Learn the one finger "cheat" worship guitar chords that the professionals use to make your playing sound smooth
  • Develop great finger picking
  • Plus hints, tops and techniques you can use in other songs

The Song Learner DVDs are presented by Andy Chamberlain, presenter of the Musicademy Worship Guitar Course DVDs.. Andy's accessible teaching approach breaks each section of the worship song into bite-sized chunks, helps you play it through a few times and then bolts it together with the rest of the song, step-by-step so that you get each sequence into muscle memory. The Song Learner Series is designed to help you play more songs using the technical principles taught on the Musicademy Worship Guitar Course DVDs.

See below for a complete song listing for each volume and the worship guitar techniques covered.

"A great insight into some of the guitar tricks that people use when leading worship"

Martin Smith, Delirious?


 
"What other DVD's and downloads claim to provide these actually deliver, and more."
Dwight Parker
Culpeper United Methodist Church
VA, USA

"It is so rewarding to find worship resources that go beyond the usual elementary transcriptions that bear little resemblance to what is actually played."
Arthur Ansell

Ferndown, UK

 

"The Musicademy Song Learners were great for learning how the recording artist actually played the song. Andy does a good job of verbally describing how to play the different parts, and the camera angles show it clearly as well. The free downloads of the chord sheets are helpful, but not necessary, to follow the lesson. And being able to download specific songs is very convenient."
Dan Nelson

Wyoming, USA

 

"Compared with other materials I have used, this product does an equally good job at teaching chords.  However, where these DVD's excel is taking the time to teach the strumming pattern and offering tips to make the accompaniment musical.  The teaching is paced well and the instruction is easy to follow.  I have applied this material already to Sunday morning worship."  

Pastor Nick Daugherty

Pastor of Worship and Short-term Mission

Grace EFC Iowa USA

"Holy Is the Lord - Though I've played this song a million times (or what seems like it!), I've always wanted to find a way to play it a little differently and add some more dynamics.  This video was great for doing just that!  The tips on playing the guitar to give it a percussive sound like a bass and snare were very helpful, and the demonstation of the walkdowns was a lot of fun.  I've found myself using these tips in other songs as well in leading worship at our church. " 

Kirk Grover,
Oregon USA

"Valuable lessons on strumming patterns, chord cheats and finger picking amongst other subjects via a variety of contemporary worship songs. Accompanied solely by his acoustic guitar, Chamberlain is a patient and considered tutor and his careful dissection of each song demystifies what on the surface may appear to be complicated chords and styles for the novice guitarist."

Lins Honeyman

crossrhythms.co.uk

"The Songlearner series has been very helpful in teaching me worship songs. As a homeschooler, it’s great to have something that I can do at home throughout the week, without having to go somewhere. It’s nice to be able to learn at my own pace, and to rewind or pause as much as I need to. It has also been helpful to download materials off the internet, to help in getting the strumming pattern and chord progressions down. One of the strengths is showing harder chords to work up to, but also easier versions of those chords if I need them. The musical tips are really nice too, like the palm muting in Beautiful One."

Katie Daugherty, teenage homeschooler

"How Deep the Father's Love For Us – I've never really had finger picking down.   This video is helping immensely as it shows some really neat techniques and patterns to use.  Andy walks through each section and doesn't blow over any details – everything here is easy to understand and well demonstrated. This video also does a wonderful job of showing how the song is broken up between 6/4 and 4/4 timing, and how to alternate between the two seamlessly."

Kirk Grover,
Oregon USA

"The Father's Song – Probably the video that packs in the most value into one lesson!  Goes over some great finger picking, an awesome walkdown that would be difficult to master without Andy's tips, and a bunch of great sounding and unique chords. Plus, Andy shows some different ways to finger common chords that work well during the quick chord changes and make the stretches on the walkdown easier."

Kirk Grover,
Oregon USA
