Along with praising God through the gospel lyrics, gospel links up with rhythm, melody, harmony and tempo. When the guitar and other instruments are added to gospel, the human psyche is more stimulated than with only singing alone. The mental, emotional and physical effects can bring on a natural euphoric feeling strong enough for a longer lasting spiritual uplift. With gospel music believed to only have been around close to a century, there are some that do not truly recognize gospel as an appropriate religious music and this is especially true when adding guitars and other instruments.

This question alone has a forever continuing debate between various religious sects differentiating between what should and should not be allowed music wise in the churches. The ones who argue against guitar picking gospel music are usually against most all types of music because of a belief in music being the work of the Devil, due to the movement and emotions music physically causes in us.

In its 100 years or so, gospel has hit its popularity heights and falls, but never to disappear completely. Gospel has touched so many areas of music through out its short history.
