Wow, I don’t play guitar. But the frequency of this song is so beautiful! Love this song! Very impressive gift you have! 👏🏼
Praise God! 🙌🏼
Thank you! It's a great song!
God bless you.. From Egypt 😇🙏🇪🇬🔥🙌
The sound ❤❤
Playing is great, but the matching guitars are amazing 👌🏽
Thanks Jake!
This is the first time I've tried to learn a song from a video like this, and I think I've finally got it! Great playing man, and amazing tone!
Thanks David!
Awesome tone bro!
Thanks Igor!
I love this song! Since I'm the only electric guitarist, I have to incorporate a little of all of the parts you guys are playing. And having a heavy metal background, in the chorus I just do power chords with a semi-high gain tone that really sounds awesome! You guys sound great!
Thanks Joseph! Those guys are actually just me! Haha! I loved playing metal before I ever was a worship guitarist so I love me some power chords as well!
Dude. We have very similar situations, and hitting that bottom power chord alone at the beginning of the chorus is one of my favorite parts to play
Man when the song went back into the chorus after the bridge, you were shredding. Love the guitar tone for both lead and rhythm. Sounded amazing!
Yeah that part is hugeeee! Thanks!
Props for the Ohm. Justin is a great builder and an even better friend and brother. Need to plan some hang time on my next trip back home to Michigan.
Very true words, he's a very generous man. I have the Blue as well and they both have been staples in my rig since I got them. Love them so much!
It’s funny how accurate your tones are to the original. Good job friend
Thanks man! I really appreciate that
That's the best looking Veritas I've seen so far.
Thanks. That really says something, there are some beautiful Veritas out there
Wow!
SUCH GOOD TONE! Great job man!!!!
Appreciate it Gavin!
Love your videos man !!
Thank you!!
Amazing cover bro 👌
Nice guitars as well veritas and gretsch is a sick combo
Thanks! They do play really well with each other
Just the video I was waiting to find! My favorite new worship song as of recent. Very well done, sir! Can't wait to check out more of your playthroughs.
Thanks Taylor. Hope you find some of them helpful!
@@JoeMcDaniel Already have! If you don't mind me asking, how are you playing the rhythm part (Gretsch) in the bridge? I've been playing acoustic for four years but am still really new to electric guitar. I hadn't seen the chord structures you used before.
@@taylorrace9021 For that part, I'm only playing the G and B strings. It alternates between these chords.
D D D D U U U D D
B - 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 8 8
G - 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
When he starts to sing, the strumming pattern stays the same, but the chords switch to this. You want to spend 2 measures playing each of these chords
B - 9 11 9 9
G - 8 8 8 8
Looks rough but I hope that helps, haha
Amazing ❤🤘
Thanks man!
Delightfully🎉
Thank you!
Wow awesome Joe ,, great guitars 🎸 too ,, I like your finger placements with both hands ,, and great sound too ,,
Thanks Charles!
Great man..
Thanks! 😄
That Gretsch. Oh baby
Gotta have a Gretsch
Really helpful video. Thanks.
You're welcome. Glad it helped you!
Guitars sound great. Nice work
I appreciate it! Thanks!
Great tone man!
Thanks bro! I appreciate it
Kudos! Really well done, man. Great playing and gorgeous tone! (also great taste in guitars and color schemes... all of mine are black/gold or white/gold too)
Thank you! My Veritas was actually inspired by the Gretsch, since I loved the black and gold scheme so much!
Thanks for the help!
Glad I could help!
2:33 and 4:48 anyone can relate to the goosebumps I get¿?
I love that part too!
Yes, got the goosebumps without even trying
Sick guitars brother!
Thanks man!
Great tone, brother!
Thank you!
Sounds fantastic! I was thinking about a new gretsch and now I may have order me a pro jet. :)
Thanks! If you're looking for that Gretsch sound, pro jets get it done pretty well
This Song is so powerful 💥 Ive done a drum Tutorial for worship drummers to this Song 🥁
So beautiful instruments, love them! Keep it up!
Thank you!
Bro... the tone.
Thanks man!
That tone !? How !?
Check out my gear rundown video to see what I used to get these tones. The other part is having a good ear!
This sounds amazing! I love this song! I want to learn how to play it on electric guitar and I think rewatching this video many times will help me learn. Thanks for this video!
By the way, what guitars are you using and how much were they? I think these are the best sounding electric guitars I have ever heard!
The top guitar is a Veritas Custom Guitars Portlander, I had it made for $2,750. Hard price to swallow but it is such an AMAZING instrument.
The bottom guitar is a Gretsch Electromatic G5435, I think these go for $600 new. Mine is Chinese made and has it's drawbacks although I love the way a Gretsch sounds. Hope this helps! Have fun learning!
@@JoeMcDaniel The Portlander seems to sound like single coil pickup, how does it compare to a tele sound ? Very articulate and clear. The gretsch seems more blurred but stil crispy.
Do you recommand using gretsch for rythm parts and Portlander/Tele/Strat for lead lines ?
Sick tone dude. LOVE your reverbs, is that from the kemper? Keep it up man!
Yeah that's Kemper reverbs. Thanks man I'll keep it up!
Can you link to the replacement covers for those black tops? That look sick.

Hey this is awesome. Are tab sheets or is printed sheet music available ?
Thanks! Sorry no tabs!
can give the link where you fot the gretsch electromatic? cos i cant find one that is black like yours.thanks man.great playing!
Thanks! I think they discontinued it a while ago, but here is a link

Watch Reverb.com or Guitar Center used. They pop up there on a pretty regular basis.
Does the gretsch have replaced pickups in it?
No, I only replaced the pickup covers, I thought they looked better
What chorus pedal or effect are you running? it sounds great!
Thanks! It's the Hyper Chorus effect from the Kemper
bro you need to tab these out!
I would like to start doing that in the future. Problem is, I loath making tabs, so I'd really have to bite the bullet, haha
Hi sorry I’m a beginner but I really like this song and this cover was the best I’ve seen yet, I was wondering if you could say what cords did you use for the strumming
Don't be sorry! It's so great and exciting you're starting to learn! I appreciate the kind words. Here's a chord chart I found that matches what I played in this video
pnwchords.com/egypt-cory-asbury-bethel-music/
@@JoeMcDaniel Sorry for the late response, but I wanted to say thank you for the response. Though I do have a question, when I head over to the link you sent I notice that the cords are just the basic Em G C D etc cords and I noticed that’s not what you played, how can I get the exact cords you played. Also for the tabs where could I find out what you played? Sorry Ik it’s a lot of questions, I just really love this song and I really love your version and would really love to learn how to play it exactly the way you do. I am soon getting myself a Gretsch guitar God willing so I can practice play and praise Him this song would definitely be one I’d play!
Does a separate third guitar play that high pitch lick that comes in and out of the bridge?
Yes, I had trouble trying to fit that one in with only 2 guitars so I ended up leaving it out
Nah all good. This run through actually showed me a different way of playing guitar chords which I didn’t know before. Thank you so much!
what would you recommend for someone who plays acoustic for 20 years, and want to get into the electric guitar?
$4 - $500 Squiers are great, seriously great bang for buck. They are an even better deal if you buy used
Que guitarra es la que está arriba?
Veritas Portlander
Hey Joe, I'm getting ready to do the same Bigsby swap from B50 to B70 on the exact same Gretsch G5435TG. How did the holes line up for you with the B70? Did you have to drill new holes on the bridge end or did the original holes for the B50 line up the same for the B70? Thanks for your help!
Awesome Brett!
Mine came up a little short, I remedied it by taking the end piece off (strap piece) and flipping it around. That gave me enough clearance to be able to screw the end piece into the body.
I did a bunch of research before I did it, and found conflicting info. Some people were doing the same and the holes were right on, others were not. I guess the holes aren't very consistent, although I find that hard to believe assuming that these are likely mass produced.
I recommend looking on bigsby's website. They have the dimensions of all their products on there, it could help you out. Another thing to note is that a B70 and a B7 are not the same dimensions for some reason. So if a B70 doesn't work out for you, maybe a B7 could.
Good luck!
@@JoeMcDaniel Thanks so much for the info. One more thing. The B7 has a big hole in the hinged bracket to accommodate the strap knob. The B70 doesn’t have that. What did you do with the strap knob? Did it line up with the small middle hole in the B70 hinge or did you have to redrill/reposition the strap knob? Does the knob even fit in that small middle B70 hole?
@@bretthutcheson5710 Yes, as far as the strap goes, the B70 comes with its own strap button and screw you use to install it. It lined up with the hole well
Hey I have the same Gretsch. Notice you have made some
Mods. What all did you do and how do they work. I’be been thinking about changing out the bridge for better tuning stability.
The mods I did were only just cosmetic. I changed the pickup covers, and replaced the Bigsby B50 with a B70. So, functionally, everything is the same. Which also means tuning is still crap. 😅
Joe McDaniel seriously....your tone sounds great though. For the money hard to beat that guitar.
Do you think you could do a cover of In Jesus Name by Darlene Zschech?
Sure, I'll give it a listen
Thanks!
This is awesome!
I noticed your Gretsch is heavily modded. When you replaced your Bigsby, was it a direct drop in? Or did you have to change where the screws go? Looking to do the same mods for a Korean made Gretsch!
Thanks man! Mine did not line up exactly, although I was able to take off the hinge part near the strap button and install it backwards to make it fit.
I did a bunch of research before I tried doing this. I found that people were having different results. Some had theirs line up but others didn't, so I just bought a B70 model and just tried it.
My advice would be to make sure you measure. The holes don't seem to be very consistent, and also it depends on what model you want. For some reason, a B7 and a B70 model have different dimensions, so one might fit better. Bigsby has blueprints with measurements of all the models on their website that should be helpful. Good luck! Haha
Hey Joe I want to do the same B50 to B70 swap on the exact same Gretsch as yours in this video plus about three others. I hear you on the tailpiece hinge flip to make the length match, but how did the two screw holes on the B70 match up to the ones made for the original B50? Also, were the pickup covers waxed onto the Filter’Trons or was that an easy swap? Any help here would greatly appreciated.
You could do a video on your conversions and it would prolly be huge! LOL
@@bretthutcheson5710 The screw holes on the top of the body matched up perfectly fine, the only thing you might have to worry about is the tail piece fitting or not.
As for the pickup covers, they are easy to swap, they are held on with some solder on each side, so if you have a soldering iron, you can heat up the solder and they come right off. IIRC they were wax potted but that didn't make it any harder to remove them.
Also, it seems that Blacktop Filtertrons are not the same dimensions as regular filtertrons. They are close though. The covers I bought were regular filtertron covers but they don't come down all the way down on the pickup, although I was still able to install them. I'm here if you have any more questions!
Thanks for the info, Joe. That helps a lot. Where did you get your B70? I want to try to avoid any variations so I can get the same thing you did.
@@bretthutcheson5710 No problem! I got mine used on Reverb. One day actually, I'd like to buy a B7 and see if one of those would fit better
What interface and software are you using to record?
My interface is a Solid State Logic SSL2 and I record into Ableton Live
Nice thanks for the response! Great work.
Is it 1/4 or 1/8 delay on lead guitar (veritas one)? Btw great playthrough man!
Thanks! It's set to 1/8 notes
@@JoeMcDaniel thanks man!
Which david hilsop patch is it? i have a kemper btw
The DH30 1 Clean
That’s what I thought! I was playing around and thought it sounded familiar 😎 Love the video man
@@jordanwilson1345 Haha I know what you mean. These profiles are so recognizable somehow
Awesome. What’s the amp?
Thanks! It's a Vox AC30 6TB
Joe McDaniel thank you
I need this Kemper performance for that lead sound...
I could find a way to get it over to you, but I'd probably have to switch the profile to an openly free one. On top of that, I was using overdrive, delay and octave effects from my board, so it'd be missing things
@@JoeMcDaniel Which profile is it? I may have it.
@@ianshoulders It's from David Hislop's AC30 pack
is this played in A#? My team wants us to play this in C tomorrow
This is actually played in Ab
@@JoeMcDaniel That's right thanks. Killed it in C what a great song
anybody know what key the song is in?
It's in Ab 👍
@@JoeMcDaniel thanks 😄
@@JoeMcDaniel thanks 😄
Listening to the soloed EG1 track and it sounds like they've doubled the lead @2:34 in the final mix. They are octave intervals but sound like 2 separate leads, not traditional octave slides. Don't get tripped up trying to imitate the exact sound unless you have multiple guitarists to play the leads separately.
@Gene Kelley As a full time worship leader and music director, my job is to guide our musicians in their technical pursuits. While unsolicited, it was not a criticism but a suggestion to any worship guitarists watching who were trying to reconcile the difference of this version with the tracks that are commonly used. I was trying to save players some undue stress in trying to figure it out. I was saying the exact same thing you were. Basically, "He's playing it this way (which is great and will suffice), but if you're following the track it will sound different." If I'm not mistaken it IS filmed in a tutorial fashion, not a "this is my version" format. Hence my advice...
I really just want to know the drive and reverb!!!!!!
Check the description, I always list my gear there! As for the reverb, that's from the Kemper
@@JoeMcDaniel which specific reverb from kemper? i have the kemper to and would to know, which reverb you used
@@schlo9358 It was the Ionosphere reverb
@@JoeMcDaniel thanks
key?
Key of Ab
feels a litle too fast, great cover and great soud tho
Thanks!
I love Christian music but there is too much effect on these guitarists, not just here but it seems as a whole. It sounds too much like pad. I'd live to hear some raw guitars. Disclaimer, from the 80s so.... guitars drove the car back then
Yes it's getting too ambient these days.I love the old fashioned Christian rock even though I'm quite young!
Sorry bro, had to thumbs down. The official bethel video clearly shows different picking patterns than what you're doing. You've got a cool simplified version going on, but it's not the same. Cheers.
