The simplest tonal variation can be achieved by simply changing the position of the pick-up switches or the tone knobs in an electric guitar. ![]() Alternatively, this video also illustrates some possible tonal (utilizing available gadgets/amplifiers) and strumming variations that can be used in any simple song even if you are the only instrumentalist in a small praise/worship session. If there are no piano/keyboard players, one can substitute the initial piano part using an acoustic guitar with the electric/bass guitarists joining later and raising the momentum in the following stanzas. ![]() I start the first stanza with a simple piano patch with a mild strings background (using a guitar synthesizer) and progressively increase the momentum of the sound and rhythm pattern utilizing increasing intensity of distortion and strumming. In the video illustration, I have attempted to start the song with a reasonably mild sound patch and build the momentum as we proceed through the stanzas of the song. While playing such songs as a team involving multiple instrumentalists during worship sessions (say a team involving an acoustic guitarist, an electric guitarist and a keyboard player), it may be good to introduce variations in sounds/rhythm patterns for the various stanzas of the song. ![]() Songs like Enna en aanandham do not have a separate chorus (just the stanzas). The second video is more about the variations that can be introduced using electric guitars/keyboards for such songs.
