The author of Worship Guitar Rebuilding cites the lack of fundamentals as the main cause of this phenomenon.
"You can't learn the fundamentals properly by learning guitar over the shoulder.
If you're lucky enough to have someone teach you the importance of fundamentals, it's great, but it's almost impossible to find someone like that in the church.
"It's an era where there are no guitar accompanists." The basics require systematic practice, but I couldn't learn them systematically anywhere, whether I went to an academy, took lessons, or searched online for courses.


The 200-page Worship Guitar Rebuilding emphasizes the fundamentals from the beginning.
This book may be a bit difficult for absolute beginners to follow, but most church accompanists play the guitar but are still at a beginner level where they have difficulty accompanying smoothly. Therefore, if you diligently practice the basics, you can immediately improve your skills.
So, the first part of the book is full of explanations and practice songs for the 14 basic chords and 6 rhythms that form the foundation of guitar skills.


In the process of understanding the following chords, we will explain the open chord fingering method that allows you to study and develop new chord forms that go beyond the basic chord, and introduce the use and fingering method of fractional chords that are frequently used recently, as well as the concept and fingering method of tension chords.
After learning the basics, you will naturally move on to using advanced code.
And this develops into a process of understanding musical composition, practicing the elements of a song, such as song form, build-up, syncopation, and sections, and finally, developing skills through actual ensemble practice songs as a process of understanding ensemble.


A total of 39 practice songs are included according to the level of difficulty for each course, and are designed to help you become familiar with worship accompaniment through systematic practice.
We have organized the worship songs that are frequently used in worship services among young people, as well as ensemble songs with high level of difficulty and level of song itself, such as 'Filled My Heart' and 'My Sorrow', so that you can learn them along with rhythm sheet music.


CEO Yoon Hyun-min said, "Now is a time when music has advanced a lot, so there is a need to modernize acoustic guitar playing, which is still stuck in the 90s music." He added, "Back then, you could get by with a clumsy performance, but now, there are many cases where playing itself is impossible without really mastering the fundamentals.
If the accompanist makes a lot of mistakes, it becomes a disruption to the worship service.
Therefore, the accompanist must play faithfully to the basics so as not to disturb the worship service," he explained.
