Glad you enjoyed it! What other topics would you like to see covered?

@worshipartistry great question. Perhaps worship lifestyle. Something to the effect of the standards of being a worship leader and serving on a worship team. Is there accountability for the lifestyle outside of ministry? If you have already covered it, then please direct me because I'm definitely interested in that topic.

Thank you. We've got close to 700 at Worshipartistry.com now :)

It really is a great story and it looks a lot nice on camera than my beat up Les Paul studio :)

Thanks so much! Shoot, we hate that. It is up and working now! Thanks for letting us know.

Imagine our surprise at you being surprised.

@@worshipartistry And I'm not being a hater, it's just that Benjamin Hastings has the same hairstyle and kinda dresses like a chick.

It can but we should say that, explain what that means and give examples. The most complicated part can still be tasteful if it fits.

So many great points. How do you decide what the standard is for your band?

While we offer transposable tabs we don't do them on multiple types of instruments. If you've only got a 4 string you take any notes that are played on the low B string and play them 2 frets up on the A string. Does that make sense?

Agreed!

YES!!! I think in order to strangle ego we’ve overcorrected and we can miss out on using the talent and heart that God gave us to glorify Him. Can God be glorified by simple music? Of course. Can God be glorified when someone expresses music in such a way that the beauty and creativity reflects our Creator? Absolutely!

It's been a pleasure to work out those parts with you :) What do you think would help your music vocabulary become more interesting?

Who in this context do you see as offended?

@@worshipartistry Both men in this video are pontificating on how to say "play simple" and how some people will perceive that a certain type of way and interpret something that simply direct and forthright as something that is negative or critical, etc. I inherited the most overly sensitive, and unqualified (both Biblically and musically) worship team in history, and I deal with tears every week because they are there for the wrong reasons. They are there because their friends tell them how great they do at Karaoke, and therefore, they must be able to "sing" (instead of worship). Not one of them understands the real reason why we worship - BECAUSE HE'S WORTHY! My pastor won't let me remove them, even the ones that are completely tone deaf. That's not hyperbole. There are several people that cannot tell what notes to sing AT ALL, and if I ASK them to not sing, I get tears. Lord, help us.

Love the passion. It's alway hard to inherit a team, especially one that struggles musically. We've got a website for that :) I think if you listen to the tone of the conversation, we're speaking from our many years of worship leading experience. Just because people shouldn't be offended doesn't mean they won't be. I've put people in tears as well but I learned it's much more effective when working with volunteers to coach, equip and encourage to a higher standard. Have you had any success in improving your team?

That's a great description. I wonder what would happen if instead of telling the drummer to simplify instead we said "stay in control".

Just turn off your delay and lower your reverb and start fro there!

@SamGrimes93 Brother, if you spend the rest of your life playing NOTHING BUT WORSHIP to our Lord & Savior, then you will have spent the rest of your life pleasing the heart of God.

Pulling out your guitar lead seems a LITTLE aggressive ;) . How did you take it and was that a good way to help you in that moment?

@@worshipartistry it was a great way for me to learn how not to over play. i had a lot of respect for the man as he had lots of experience. Years later i did it to a bass player who was hitting wrong notes and not noticing it. That didn't go so well. still, pretty funny. I was also a sound engineer, because I could hear mistakes well, I'd regularly turn someone down or out of the mix of the front of house.

Wish I could have seen the bass player's face! So awesome that you are involved in the sound team as well. We need more musicians in the booth.

Our lead lessons are designed for a single electric guitarist but adding singing into the mix is challenging. As a worship leader who leads on electric myself, I lean on whatever I'm comfortable with. So for example, I might play the lead lines in intros and instrumentals, then drop out for the verses and one strum chords in the chorus. Remember, there's nothing a song ever truly NEEDS. You are better off adapting it to your ability than trying to do too much at once. What is your typical approach?

@worshipartistry my typical approach was trying to fill in the verses with diamonds to fill space. And to downstream courses. And also try to play the most recognized lead lines and sing. It's just to much

Wonder why it's harder to hear it the second way...

@worshipartistry definitely comes with maturity. I'm a 20+ year Bass player that has only started playing electric in the last year. Being in my mid-thirties I know I have a lot to learn on electric and not afraid to check my ego for the sake of the team's needs.

That's awesome. I know a ton of guitar players who attempt bass but not many that go the other way. Are there skills from your bass playing that help you bring a unique perspective to your guitar playing?

@worshipartistry That's a good question. I would like to give a resounding yes, and it has helped with feeling the beat/following the drums, but it also has hindered me some. Because I've focused the last 20+ years listening primarily to Bass lines/frequency ranges, it has left me feeling completely exposed when I do play electric in front of the congregation! Lol, like I'm up here without pants on! One other positive is I already have really good hand strength, and picked up finger style guitar fairly quick. One final negative is I never used a pick much with Bass, and my picking has a lot of room ro grow, and my fretting hand has really required specific exercises to to increase accuracy as you can get away with a lot more on Bass.

Thank you. We had fun! What kind of instrumentals do you like to play?

@@worshipartistry I play lead guitar at Parkridge Church in Florida. Love your lessons, I’ve learned most or all the songs/parts here for many years now.

Thanks!

It's a good reminder for all of us!

Well thank you kindly, good sir!

Thanks so much!

Thanks!

Glad you like them! We've got over 600 more at WorshipArtistry.com. Check them out!

Glad you enjoyed it. What other songs would you like to see versions of?

Better than statin drugs 😊

EQ is a powerful drug, indeed.

“You must become like a child…”

Thanks! There’s something about the minor tone that adds weight to those beautiful words

Im sorry. There seems to be some confusion. I’m not embarrassed or trying to hide the fact I have a nice guitar. I love that Martin and still play it daily 10 years later. When I say low profile I’m referring to how visible the capo is on the guitar neck. I prefer capos that are “invisible” and was simply trying to show the pros and cons of each brand of capo I had at the time. Nobody sponsored this video. I hope it was helpful.

I hadn’t thought about it but now you’ve got me searching UA-cam is that how you have yours wired?

I use it every week. Works great

Thank you so much. I never want worship to seem inaccessible because it absolutely isn’t.

Ah…the wah. I had a crybaby on there for years but it broke and I never replaced it. An elevated back row would be nice. It does get a little crowded. Is there a difference in putting the compressor after the wash rather than before?

@@worshipartistry it may be before, can't remember. compressor only for very clean guitar. as you add drive from pre-amp, i find the valves have all the compression i need.

Sounds beautiful. P90 is the only pickup sound I don’t have in any guitar. What are your other setups?

@@worshipartistry the only big name guitar is a PRS se single cut, but with JB bridge and jazz from seymour. the rest are strats with one being a sunburst jap fender body, profile custom neck, JB bridge and floyd rose. i have another tele made by mate with P90 buckers in it from Kinman. P90's and strat tones are probably my favourite tones to suit most stuff i play.

The tone of the thinline is noticeably different than the solid body. Jealous of that paisley style. What do you like about it?

You're so welcome. How did you like the video format?

@worshipartistry it was great I like how you included a real drumset and had the slow version on the end

haha! No Scam, just forgot the knobs too
