Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me • Cajon Playthrough

Another amazing song from CityAlight! This modern hymn celebrates a foundational biblical truth- that all glory belongs to Christ who lives in us! It's in 4/4, but has some rhythms that I've found more common in 3/4 songs, so it might take a bit of work, but it's worth it! -- My goal with these videos is to provide a somewhat simplified version of the percussive elements for the song, while retaining much of the feel and rhythms normally beat out on a drum kit. I don’t want to use a ton of flashy playing, or even show the full extent of what I might play if I were to sit in on cajon for a Sunday morning set with this song. I’ve been known to add hihats, tambourines, shakers, toms and a whole bunch of stuff to an “acoustic set” kit. While those can all be appropriate and a lot of fun, I don’t feel like that’s the most helpful for someone who’s sitting on a cajon for the first time or is still getting a feel for playing with a band. For these videos, I’ll stick to a cajon and an occasional shaker. If you have any questions about playing cajon, how I approached this song, or any song requests, let me know! Glory to God, always. P.S. - Best lighting I’ve had yet, but still a work in progress that will hopefully continue to improve with each video shoot. A special thanks to my friend Dan, who manned the camera and puts up with my shenanigans, bloopers and rants!
