God You Reign by Lincoln Brewster

Ordering here:

Lincoln Brewster is one of the great Christian guitarist! He expanded his sound to included a wider variety of styles from the past. "God You Reign" is one of the bluesy worship songs on his new CD with an Eric Clapton (slow hand) type guitar solo at the end. I haven't had time to learn the song yet, but after my first listen the Chords for the verse: D Em and it repeats... Chorus: G Bm A G D. A good melodic worship/ sing along song similar to his earlier song Surrender. Lincoln uses a similar riff on two songs on this CD. This is only a rough draft:

God You Reign Riff The Power of Your Name Riff
D Em7 D Em7 Intro - REPEATS 1x 2x
e|-------------------|| ||--------------------9-||

A|-------------------|| ||----------------------||

God You Reign is an atypical Lincoln Brewster song loaded with talent. Today is the Day CD is not the typical Brewster CD because it has a greater variety of styles. Lincoln's solos are a blend of Clapton, Santana, and one solo sounds very similar to Stevie R. Vaughn style. There's a hint of a Becker Brother's horn riff on another song. I great Cd even if you're not a guitarist.
