Post Song of the Week - Say So Reply with quote
This song is by Israel Houghton and has been very popular in churches in the area. I heard it for the first time a year or so ago.  The song has a lot of jazz type chords in it and if you have ever seen Israel play live he likes the open chord voicing of leaving the bottom strings open in his songs. I tabbed this song from watching some of his live videos and listening to the song.  When I play this song I don't use many effects.  I will use some slight reverb and play it clean.  You can add some dirt to the song to really add kick to the chorus.  The chords may not line up completely. I copy and pasted this from a my word document.

Chords Used:
E5:         x79900
EM7:      x79800
DM9:     x57600
C#m7#5:x47600
Asus:      x02200
C#m7:    9x9900
Bm7:      7x7700
A5:         577600
D6:         x57700
F#m7:    2x2200

I do exactly the same, except on the verses i add some slight delay to add that kind of U2 effect.

I use a dotted eighth time signature and set the delay volume  about half of the guitar's volume. i also let set the repeat on 2 or 3. I use a Line 6 Echo park.
