Chords for My Worth Is Not in What I Own (At the Cross) Advanced Guitar Tutorial with DADGAD tuning

[F] _ [Dm] _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _
_ _ [F] _ _ [C] My worth is [F] not in [C] what I own.
Hi, [N] my name is Zach White and I play guitar for Keith and Kristen Getty.
Today I'm going to show you an alternate guitar part for their song,
My Worth Is Not In What I Own.
The first video I ever made for the guitar instruction on their page
was actually for this song.
Before, or a little bit after, I can't remember,
of the Greengrass Sessions album.
A few years later, we were doing the Facing a Task Unfinished album
and Fnan, the other guitarist, came up with this arrangement.
We've had a number of people request instruction on this arrangement
and to show how we play it.
It's a nice sound.
I really love what he put together.
Now I'll say that this is a little bit more advanced of a technique,
so if you consider yourself a beginner
or you just want to get the bare bones of how the song works,
I would recommend that original video.
For those of you out for the challenge,
this song requires some knowledge of fingerstyle techniques
and alternate tunings.
If you're familiar with Dadgad tuning,
this is the exact same, [C] just down one more whole step in the key of C.
So it's C, G, C, F, G, C. _ _
_ [Abm] There are a lot of different ways you could explain Dadgad.
I, myself, am very visual, and I like to think that I'm in standard tuning
even as I play Dadgad, and just transpose in my head.
Some people like to talk about frets and numbers.
That's probably going to be the most accurate,
although somewhat confusing.
I hope you can follow along.
At the end of the day, if you're in the right tuning
and you put your finger in the same place I am, you'll be okay.
If I refer to strings from top to bottom, or 1 to 6,
I'm referring to the highest pitch as the top, or string 1,
and the lowest pitch as string 6, or the bottom.
_ I'll play the intro so you're familiar with the sound,
and then I'll go back and [D] explain it.
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ [F] _ _
[Dbm] So we start with an open chord and a slide.
Take your ring finger and slide up to [C] fret 4 here, on the 4th string,
and then an open chime.
Throughout [G] this song, these [Ab] top two strings,
pretty much only chime.
You rarely ever fret them.
So if you get a little confused by the visual of what I'm actually playing,
these two strings are almost always open.
So we slide up to the 4th fret, ring finger on the [G] 4th string,
[C] _ _ _ and then I place my 1st [G] finger on the 2nd fret, 3rd string.
[C] _ _ _
_ [F] _ Then I slide up to 2nd finger, 4th [Ab] string, on the 5th fret,
and then the 1st finger, 3rd string, [Gb] 4th fret.
_ [F] _ _
Chime again, and then back to the [D] opening.
[C] _ _ _
_ [Abm] Right here we're going to [Ab] do a pull-off,
and we're going to pull off from our ring finger to our index finger
to an open string, and that's on frets 4, 2, and open on the 4th string.
When you play the open string, you're going to have to push down
with your index finger and really pull off to let that string ring.
[C] _ _ _
_ You [Ab] could play it again with your right hand,
but I like the sound, actually, of it rolling off the [C] finger. _
_ _ _ _ Then we're going [F] to move over right there.
That's strings 5, 4, and 3,
_ with string 5 being fretted on number 2 right there.
_ _ _ [C] _ Then back to the opening.
[Abm] So hear it all together [D] one more [C] time? _ _
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [A] _ You continue to play that underneath the voice.
Here's how that sounds.
[C] _ _ _
[F] _ _ [D] _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[D] _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ Keep [C] _
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F]
going.
[G] _ When you come to the words, costly wounds of love,
you land on the [Am] 6th minor chord.
_ Looks like [E] that.
Then you come back to the riff.
[D] At [C] the cross.
[F] _ [C] _ _ Now _ [A] _ [Cm] _
[G] we come to the chorus.
I tend to strum through this section.
You can play the [Am] chorus a variety of different ways.
[G] I will say, though, that leaving [A] the top 2 strings to chime
[G] actually works very well in creating that very open, [Abm] vibrant, ambient sound.
Then when you hit the end of the chorus, you're back to the riff once again.
Here's how it sounds.
[D] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Db] The walk-up that we talked about in the original video
in the bass line is still there.
My [Fm] soul is _ satisfied [G] in him [Em] alone.
_ We also changed the chords in the solo section
just to change things up and to give a little bit more
a new basis for Maggie to create a solo.
The chords I tend to [Gm] play when we hit the solo section look like this. _ _
_ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[F] Then _ [C] _ _ you're back into the last verse.
Play that same [Db] riff as the outro, and that's it.
I hope this was helpful and possibly fun for some of you.
[N] I really love this arrangement that Fanon put together.
It's really gorgeous.
Getting to play in an alternate tuning is something we don't get to
take advantage of very often as worship leaders.
Always feel free to check out GettyMusic.com for other hymns
and possible resources that your church may need.
Thank you for watching.
