Absolutely! Try dialing in your amp a little dirtier and using your volume control on your guitar! Turn it down when you want to clean it up, boost it when you want drive. Hit your OD pedal to send it to the next level for lead tones!
It’s all in Helix Native. I don’t remember the exact chain from this video, but I usually do Kinky Comp(SP comp)>Heir Apparent(KoT)>Pillars (TS)>transistor Tape>AC30 Fawn>Dynamic Hall or Plate
Definitely not! They help just because worship music employs less grindy pickups. Single coils are great, even some rippin’ EMGs can pdub if used right! Clean is the name of the game for your base tone
I am struggling with tone. I have an AC 30 emulator pedal, a fender emulator and a boss katana 50. Every guitar I try with any combination of those, unless it's a high gain and drive sound, any bridge pickup just sounds nasally and shrill to me.. part of it is personal preference I guess, but I hear you guys online and it sounds good on the bridge pickup like at the very end of your video. I dial in tones at home for the bridge but at church I always end up switching to the neck pickup. Am I just nervous about really standing out? And yeah, I'm pushing mids up but I think I need a 10 band eq to get to what I like.
I get that! My favorite thing to do is dial the amp in for the bridge pickup. Turn down the treb, *maybe* tuck the mids depending on the amp and the guitar, and don’t be afraid to let some low end through. Make sure the amp is on the edge of breakup too (which is typically MORE gain than people feel like they should have, especially when listening in isolation). Then use a pedal like a tubescreamer that dumps low end whenever you need to use your bridge pickup. Let me know if you’ve tried any of this before!
@@churchmusicco Thanks! Last Sunday I think it actually worked out pretty well because I adjusted for the bridge specifically. The only drive pedal I have at the moment is a blue driver clone, but a TS is on the list. Side note for entertainment: I was using a NUX multieffects for some reverb and delay. We had just started practice when it decided it was going to set itself to factory default and started going through the presets without me even being anywhere near it! It stopped on a high gain autowah preset and everyone just turned and looked at me like "what the heck are you doing??" Lol. It got ripped out of the signal chain real fast!
I play guitar (& keys) in church too, albeit without all these bells and whistles. Tell me, when did talking like a dufus become a prerequisite to being a good worship musician ? You're not alone, bro', but why not just talk normally ?
Bruh, I learned a lot from this short video. More like this, please!
Thanks! Will do!
This short genuinely taught me more about tone than a million other videos, thank you!
Great to hear!
God bless you for stopping by this comment, and may your entire family prosper in all areas
Thank you, and to you!
Amen@@churchmusicco
Thanks man ! I am literally sitting and setting up my pedal board for next worship session songs ! 🙌
Perfect! I’ll keep tips like this coming 👍🏻
More like this please
Definitely!
ima pull up to a innocent churcb w a bc rich warlock and a giant marshall amp and play stryper (christian metal band)
Rock that Silhouette!! Thats my every Sunday electric too, totally slept on, incredible guitars!
Those pickups are 👌🏻👌🏻
This helps so much. Tyvm
I’m glad!
Great tone
Thank you!
Cool
Thanks!
Are you using an actual amp or sim? Sounds great ❤
It was Helix Native in this video! I love having the Helix tones in my DAW 💪🏻
wow this is gold... thank you!! btw do you think its possible to do worship with just one overdrive pedal??
Absolutely! Try dialing in your amp a little dirtier and using your volume control on your guitar! Turn it down when you want to clean it up, boost it when you want drive. Hit your OD pedal to send it to the next level for lead tones!
Love the tones! Anyway you could share the exact chain?

Hello! What is the song at 0:32?
Raise a Hallelujah
Sounds like "ik zie het kruis, van mijn verlosser"
@@CJ-22 thats what I was thinking
reminds me of flyleaf
flyleaf was christian so
Love flyleaf!
Ya boi
🤘🏻
I like my AC15 more than the AC30. Sounds much clearer to me.
Dude I was just playing my AC15 thinking that. I love a 30 still, but the 15 has a bite in the mids that the 30 doesn’t have
@@churchmusicco Yeah, exactly! 😄
Yo what guitar is this it sounds amazing
A Harmony Silhouette with Bigsby, it’s my favorite! I think it’s a perfect midrange option for worship guitarists
Are low output pickups a must?
Definitely not! They help just because worship music employs less grindy pickups. Single coils are great, even some rippin’ EMGs can pdub if used right! Clean is the name of the game for your base tone
Are these the same settings as With Arms Wide Open by Creed?

@@churchmusicco Thank you for taking the time to reply. I'll definitely give your suggestions a go.
How does your thumb bend backward when picking
Haha did it? What’s the time stamp?
@@churchmusicco0:27
Is the last stage drive for solos?
Definitely! Add more gain and/or delay to flavor!
@@churchmusicco thank you! I’m fairly new to the way pedals work
I’m glad you love to help! God bless !
What guitar is that?
jazzmaster
It’s a Harmony Silhouette!

Tell me, when did talking like a dufus become a prerequisite to being a good worship musician ?
You're not alone, bro', but why not just talk normally ?
I like the way I talk :)
So basically try to be the edge from U2. 😂
Right! 😂 I like to think worship music has taken a lot from shoegaze too
Or don’t go to church? Play music you actually like
Playing church music is awesome 💪🏻
@@churchmusicco hard disagree, but you do you.
@@georgedickson1410I’ll do it 👍🏻 thanks for the engagement brother. You’re doing the Lord’s work!
This is why worship music sucks
Nah music is all subjective
