New Chart: Shine Your Light on Us August 30, 2007

Here’s a new chart for the song Shine Your Light on Us - one of my favorites from the new RSB disc. This would be a great tune to use in worship.

This song was first performed when RSB first came to our church a little over a year ago. Robbie had written it a few days before the concert and just wanted to try it out on an audience. It seems like the arrangement was pretty sparse, but the song doesn’t really need too much.

There’s an appropriately simple guitar part in the middle that revolves around the open E string and fingered notes on the B string. To really nail the sound, you’ll need a couple of delays - one set for eighth notes and one set for dotted eighths. A lot of guys use two Boss DD-5 pedals connected to a tap controller (like the FS-5U) via a Y-cable.

Here’s the tab:

E-0--0--0--0--|0-0-0-0-|0--0--0--0-|
B-12-12-12-14-|9-9-7-5-|10-10-10-9-|

Hey man - glad to hear it. I’m trying to convince our worship pastor to do a couple of RSB tunes in the near future.

Let us know how it goes.

And here it is! Many thanks man!! Still haven’t decided whether I’m going to go full band or like the Acoustic version from the CD yet though. Both are amazing!!!

hi, for the two delays, which one comes first in the signal chain (dotted 8th or 1/8)?

I’ve gotta tell you, I’m not 100% sure. I think that the eighth comes first, but it’s hard to say. They could be routed to different amps, they could be in parallel, I don’t really know…
