- WORSHIP BAND TIP
Here’s a tip you can take into your next worship rehearsal:
In a full band setting, you should think of the acoustic player as a shaker or percussion instrument rather than a guitar. There is a lot going on with keyboards and electric guitars, and oftentimes the congregation and sound engineer won’t be hearing actual notes from the acoustic guitar.
So how can the acoustic player be effective?
Focus on rhythm. Lock in with the drummer and listen specifically for what the high hats are doing. Think like a shaker!
What are your biggest challenges musically in your worship band?

Don’t forget to lock in with the Lord. Lots of guys doing worship music these days think of worship on Sunday as just another gig. Be careful out there.
Wow so true
Thank you brother🥰
But don’t forget the worship music is for God
I don’t know what else you’d be thinking. It is literally fundamental to who you are and is irrelevant in this context. You wanna reminder of your identity, go listen to a sermon. This is for musicianship.
@@skuxxfam why do I need a reminder to my identity just because I said this worship music is for God I’m so sorry for putting a not hateful comment down
What’s the point of your message then?
@@skuxxfam what’s the point of you saying you want a reminder of your identity I wasn’t even saying the first comment as something hateful but just saying some people may forget why they are playing worship music in the first place they may be mindlessly playing it but we should realize it’s for God not us
Exactly my point. If you’re mindlessly playing, then maybe you shouldn’t be on the worship team. Your identity as a Christian should be cemented first so that way whatever you play naturally comes out of a place of worship.
We all need to lock in
I'm reflecting on when there's been a guitarist at my church, and you're totally right! (I'm Catholic, and in my experience, guitar is less prominent than it is in other Christian churches) The role seemed to be more of a percussionist. She did a great job of adding depth and rhythm without stealing spotlight or diverting attention from the words of the song (or the tone of the mass).
Great advice!
Great point with a great smile!
Exactly how I go about it 🔥
This was very helpful. Thank you
Thank you bro🫶🏾🔥✝️
I’ve actually noticed this 2 weeks ago at a worship camp
It depends.. if the guitar is leading the song, then the drummer is gonna follow the guitarist and adjust the rhythm and tempo accordingly.
i guess its dual? percussion but with notes attached .... because you can hear when the chords change as the beat goes.. but yeah rhythm guitar is percussive... good point!
The only problem is that we don’t have a drummed. It’s just me and my 2 friends. And I play the piano. My other friend is learning how to play electric guitar. So I was thinking to learn to play acoustic. Especially for when we’ll go to people’s homes from our church that can’t come for some reason. Or if we go camping somewhere. I can bring a small keyboard, but the guitar seems a little more in tune with the nature aspect. Also a lot more easy to carry.
This broke my soul.
FR. I feel attacked. Time to switch back to electric
Super helpful
Great point!
What!! 😮 I’m not learning the acoustic to become a shaker. Jk… That is a great way to look at it
To clarify- you’re not actually playing muted all the time, you just mean that the percussive/hit side of your playing is what is most evident to the audience?
P.s in reply to some of these other comments- I see you trying to hone your craft and use it to worship the Lord as a good thing, a great thing. Sure, there’s always room for a reminder to keep God at the center of your craft, but I don’t think you working on your craft is sinful at all! Especially when you’re doing so to praise the Lord, keep it up!
Quite insightful, Audio too low 😢,
THIS GUY IS A SINNER AND NEEDS TO REPENT AND OBEY ACTS 2 38 ❤
Triggered! I'm not a sha...wait...I'm a shaker...
This is not true, this man is likely a drummer, he couldn't even play a single chord here. Its the drummer that shld listen and play in line with the guitar.
and most important of all, please please dont strum too hard
