Hey friends! Here’s a guitar lesson showing you how to play the Maren Morris song “My Church” from her 2016 album Hero. While big picture this might appear to be a straightforward song using only G-C-D, there’s actually a bit of nuance I’ll explain when it comes to things. For both the chord voicings and the strumming, I’ll show you two different ways to approach things, which lets you tailor your approach to suit your skill level & preference.

Capo 2nd fret to play with Maren’s version
Capo 2nd fret + standard tuning to play along with Maren Morris’ album version. I’ve also seen her play it capo 3rd fret while tuned down 1/2 step. You can also use no capo and be just fine, if you don’t care about playing along with her recording.
