@@EdwardJWhiting that’s a good one! Thanks for the comment!

@@grantspencermusic yeah man, that’s tough. I definitely feel that more as a drummer than a guitarist. I’ve been playing drums for longer and feel more free to improvise and express myself and maybe even show off. 🤫 I’m just not at that level on guitar. But I will say is that can be room even in worship music to fully use your gifts. When I’m playing drums, I want to play things that serve so song and every once in a while, a little flash can serve the song. It just has to be done with extra intentionality. And it also helps if you play 90% of the song straight, nail the parts and take joy in nailing those written parts. And then when you do add something above and beyond the written parts it will feel like a welcome treat. You’re probably already doing all of this but I just wanted to share my approach. Nailing the tones and effects also givens you some “brownie points” (if you wanna call them that) with whoever leads you band. Props to you for sticking in there and making it work even though it’s not necessarily your wheelhouse. We have a player on our team that has been on a similar journey and now we egg him on to play sweeps every band play out at the end of the service, when it fits. Thanks for the kind words and for sharing your thoughts/experiences. 😊

@@KevinMaillet-z6l funny enough, I don’t really listen to U2. I just think there is an over simplification in the guitar community that if you used big delay and reverb sounds, you want to be the Edge. Honestly, just find the ambient guitar sounds more inspiring. Different strokes for different folks.

Because the tone is beautiful and works perfectly in most modern worship situations. Who would you like them to sound like? 🙂

@@silviomp thank you so much for the kind words! Greetings for the United States! It’s winter here, is it summer in Brazil?

@GettinBetterWithDave Yeah, it's Summer down here, but not as hot as it used to be, thank God.

@silviomp That’s nice! I’m in Arizona which gets pretty hot during the summer, so hopefully our next summer will be more like yours. 😊

@@Hicky33 haha hopefully that’s not step one! But even if that’s the route you take, there are more options for players just starting out now than there ever has been. Fortunately you don’t have to break the bank to test the waters with effects. Anywho, thanks for watching!

@Tennessee_Angling lol noted! I should have that video and sheet hopefully very soon

@@jerrypiatt1105 thank you for letting me know! Should have things put together very soon!

That’s a great call! Thanks for sharing

@@n2havnfun2 haha nah, lots of pedals can get there. Thanks for watching 😊

@@JohnMickevich-im6wj great question! These moves can and are used in other types of music but are especially seen in worship music because of the larger ensemble and the emphasis on dynamics. Also, it’s what I play every week so I feel more comfortable speaking into. Thanks for the comment!

@@vladimirivanov6353 you’re very welcome! Thanks for the comment!

@@crappy60 love that! That’s a great move!

haha thank you, Joshua! You're the man!

Perhaps if I had made it a top ten! lol

@@tombrackettjr.9308 bummer! If I were you, I’d try to have an open handed conversation about what needs to change for the electrics to be part of the mix. Try not to be upset or offended, I’m sure he’s just trying to do what’s best for your church. Take his input and do what’s you can to improve things, even working together with other electric players to set up your audio engineers for a win. I’ll pray that things go well with your team and that you all get to use your gifts to glorify God! Thanks for the comment! I should have that pdf here in the next few weeks.

You're very welcome! Thanks for the encouragement! God bless you!

That's awesome that you're playing at your church! Keep working at it, the more prepared and comfortable you are with the music, the more you can move your focus away from playing everything perfect and focus on God and the meaning of the songs you're playing/singing. It takes a while but you'll get there! Thanks for the comment!

That's cool man! what kind of music do you play?

@GettinBetterWithDave I grew up playing metal. I got saved and started playing worship.

haha I don't think anyone saying you had to. What amp do you play?

Because you play acoustic guitar......much better to use electrical guitar with FX pedal - good pedal.....So I have to jump to el. Guitar.

Working on that very soon! Thanks for the comment!

@@jesussavesrick “Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭33‬:‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬ . Yes I want to worship in spirt and in truth. But I would not be honoring the God that has given me everything I have if I don’t practice and prepare and bring my very best to him, it’s not about performance or perfection, it’s a sacrifice of praise and I want to given him my best. I want to help musicians have tools to be more effective in their roles on teams and bring their best to the feet of Jesus. David also said he would not offer a sacrifice that cost him nothing. “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭13‬:‭35‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Let’s get back to loving each other even if we worship in different ways. But thank you for watching my video.

Will do!

Hey there! I don't like the way the sans amp breaks up on high settings. I originally bought it for the same reason as you but I much prefer dirt and fuzz pedals INTO the sans. which is kind of sad but I really like the clean to edge of break up sounds. When I was still touring, I used it to dial in two different basses. For now, only need one channel but I've had this pedal for so long, I don't want to swap it for the single channel. Thanks for the question and for watching!

Aw, thanks so much! Thank you for the kind words. and great additions! Blessings!

Hey Bro! It's been too long!

@@e7thstar I’m so glad you’re having fun playing guitar! Thanks for watching

@@SierraHighCountry it’s a great pedal! I bet you get great sounds pairing it with the HX. Thanks for the comment

@@guitarjoe7394 I’m gonna be honest, I’m not sure what meant by that lol. I just play guitar here. 😂

😁 I wonder how many times I can use that one! haha Probably just once right? Thanks for watching!

You are a legend for that! Way to use all five positions. I need to get a 3 P/U guitar again and when I do, I'll make the bridge hot as well.

Good point! It differently depends on your band size. Our normal line up is drums, bass, keys, 2 electric and an acoustic. So there's a lot of coverage. but even in a smaller band doubling a melody if just for a moment can be a cool move, I'd just use it sparingly. What does your band look like? Thanks for the comment!

Good reminders! I believe it actually goes back further than that. A lot of the hymns were written to the melodies of drinking songs of the time. Crazy! But the goal is the same, help people focus on God even if they aren't musically inclined. Thanks for your incite!

Absolutely man! We all have stuff going on, it can be hard to find the time. But how we use our music time, and how we practice can make a huge difference. taking an extra 10 minutes a week to try and add something to your vocabulary can put you in a place were you feel more free and expressive on stage and you can take those cues from the Spirit. Thanks for the comment! I'm stoked that you're part of this community!

@@WesIncredible that's the main problem with church worship, in my opinion. You have very few whom have actually grown up playing music and want to play for the Lord. The majority are just people with little to no experience that decide they'd like to be part of music worship. Do they have talent or any actual musical skill? Usually not. Do they or will they ever practice? Probably not. Do we let just anyone with little to no preaching/theological experience go up on stage and deliver the word? Absolutely not. ...so why do we conform to do the minimum when it comes to worship? 🤷🏽‍♂️ is it because as Christians we want to be nice and involve the congregation? Again, 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@BlakeCraft thanks for watching and thanks for the comment! I’m stoked that you got value out of it.

For sure! That's a great way to not get turned down by your audio engineer. 😁 It's great if you have am A1 that you can talk about what you can do from stage to make the mix stronger. I'm lucky to be able to do that every week with our production director.

@GettinBetterWithDave or worse, turned down and not turned back up later. 😉

Very soon! Thanks for watching!

That's so well put "simple but not easy to play well" I love that. It's awesome that you play heavy music as well. We have a few guys that are in a metal band but play with us on Sundays. For context, our church sits in the middle of those extremes, funny enough. We have 2 staff worship leaders and 1 staff MD (myself). On a weekend we normally have between 1 and 3 of us staffers on stage and everyone else is volunteer. And those volunteers range from folks that have only been playing a couple years to people that have been playing their whole life and could be contracting at any other church. All of them our loved and supported by our team and are very bought in to this community. In reference to this video, over the years, I've seen it go both ways. newer players that don't put the time in to getting it right and instead get bored playing their own stuff and seasoned players that play other types music outside the church and look down at the simplistic approach. For me, the sweet spot is finding joy and nailing simple parts and adding your own flavor but in a way that serves the song and doesn't come off flashy.

I'm so glad you found this channel! And thank you for your input, I wasn't 100% sure what this channel would look like when I made the account, I just knew I wanted to help people. I will take into consideration a name change and see what's out available. Thanks for watching and thanks for the constructive comment. 😊

You are so welcome! I'm glad you well get some use out of these moves! God Bless!

@@karenmcspadden7240 I will have some time very soon to work that out. So keep an eye out for it. 👍🏻

@@karenmcspadden7240 thanks for letting me know you would use it! 😊

@@killedbycoconuts for sure! Thanks for watching and commenting 😊

Let’s be honest, nobody cares about your opinion.

@@rockychieng88 easy fellas. There’s a lot of different kinds of players out there. I’m definitely a fan of ambient guitar sounds that you just don’t get plugging straight into an amp. Room for all kinds of players, the important thing is that we keep growing and making music.

But for what it’s worth.. Hendrix David Gilmour and the Edge all used effects, I’m cool being on that side of the fence 😂

@@gordontubbs oh, for sure! Yeah, that’s a guitar thing. I know 3 shapes, now let’s move the all over the place. Thanks for the comment!

@@SportsGuitarDude Legend! That’s awesome! Thanks for watching

@@son0fsocal aw thanks very much! I’m so glad you found it helpful! Have a great weekend!

@@Izthewright awesome! I’ll have some time to work on that very soon! Thanks for letting me know! 😊

@@GaveMeGrace1 you’re very welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting. ☺️
