February 2018
Christmas is still wearing off for many of us
and I know that I’m trying to get a focus on the
New Year. I guess in most jobs, people plan for
the New Year as the old year is winding down,
but in worship so much has to be considered
during Christmas that I forget to plan ahead.
Maybe my New Year’s Resolution needs to be,
“Plan for 2019 while it’s still 2018!”
Speaking of resolutions… being resolute is
having a determination, being purposeful and
unwavering. Worship musicians, what if in 2018
we were all resolute to teach our churches the
new song “Testimony” from The Belonging Co?
This is such a powerful, purposeful, unwavering
statement of standing firm in Christ. It’s a
fantastic song to play with the Short-Cut capo.
The key of “G” with a full capo on fret 3 and the
Short-Cut capo on fret 5 (chords figure 1).
Playing with the open voicing of the Short-Cut
capo is perfect with a band or if you’re leading
with guitar alone. I start with fingerstyle in the
intro and verse 1 and then move to a dynamic
and full rhythm in the chorus and verse 2 while
leaving room to build up the bridge.
I’d love to hear some of what you’re doing
with the Short-Cut capo. Please post some
clips and tag me @cutcapo on Instagram and
Twitter.
