I have added a new video showing the chords arrangement for the song "Ennai Marava Yesu Naadha". Nowadays even complex layering of various tones can be achieved utilizing more recently available compact amp modelling systems and guitar synthesizers. Additional effects such as delay, chorus, phaser and reverbs can be added based on available options on guitar amplifiers or through effects/multi-effects foot pedals.
Typically, increasing the gain/drive on any common guitar amplifiers will facilitate crunchy distorted tones. 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.
