Tone is stupendous!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@SamWittek]

Thanks man!! 🙌🏻

[@connorhiers6163]

Amazing parts! Playing this tomorrow at church and can't wait, thank you Sam!

[@SamWittek]

Awesome!! Hope it goes well! 🙌🏻

[@AndiBrewster]

very blessed 🙏🙏🔥🔥
One day, could you bring another musician friend? I'm curious, like keyboard players, what kind of portions they would do if guitar players played like this in a team. Are they just playing pads, or is there something else.

[@SamWittek]

Hmm this is a great idea! I will definitely take that into consideration, that could be really valuable education around where each instrument fits into a mix. Thanks for suggesting this!

[@Alex-Pelchat]

Fabulous Sam! Your parts complement the song so well. 🔥

[@SamWittek]

Thanks Alex! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@andrewprater5308]

Sam that pitch shifting sounded outstanding! loved it brother :)

[@SamWittek]

Thanks Andrew! Yess that pitch effect is too much fun 😂

[@joemiller9856]

Nice job Sam! 👏🎸

[@SamWittek]

Thanks Joe! 🙏🏻

[@ShredderCheddar]

Love this version! I'm in a season of wanting to incorporate more hymns reimagined into contemporary pieces. Is this an original for City church Music? Would the chord sheets be available to download or purchase for my teams? If not that's okay, thanks!

[@SamWittek]

Thanks man! Yep it's an original arrangement, I'd be happy to send you the chord charts! Feel free to shoot me an email [e-mail]

[@Celticsaint777]

What amp modeler are you using?

[@SamWittek]

Using two ToneX pedals in stereo for this one. An AC30 and Benson Chimera captures from Tonefactor

[@iamjoshuaschmidt]

So you’re just casually not going to mention that you wrote and recorded all the parts for this arrangement? Haha

[@SamWittek]

Hahah trueee maybe I should add that to the description 😂
