- Have you ever wondered how professional musicians use their delay pedals to create super vibey textures and signature sounds for rhythm and lead guitar parts?
At Worship Online, we get a lot of emails asking how to create delay settings. In this video, Jordan Holt (guitarist for Kari Jobe) shows how he approaches dialing in delay and creating unique sounds for both studio recordings and live performances. Watch now!

Step 1: Acquire awesome gear
Step 2: Spend hour dialing in sound
Step 3: Fine tune during rehearsal
Step 4: Sound engineer mixes you so low that no one can hear you.
Step 5: ........
Ryan Whitley sounds like your engineers need some training 😂 but unfortunately true for so many churches.

Y’all nailed it! Several young/inexperienced musicians feel this when they join a band - ESPECIALLY their church worship band. Oh yeah, especially the worship band.
I hope this video & comment thread attracts those very musicians because this is something that everyone struggles with. It’s important for young musicians to recognize these seemingly small frustrations can ultimately kill the mood of playing. I would compare it to getting a stomach bug on your wedding night. That too would Kill the mood for uh, “makin music”.... You know what I’m sayin here.
My rant is for new young aspiring musicians or those who just want to be a part of their church band. This is for those who’ve wrestled with unexpected disappointment that nobody warns you about.
I feel lead to share how I’ve these issues.
When I began playing in my church over 20 years ago I thought I was prepared. I owned professional amps and guitars and of course “I know all the chords.” I always played by ear which I thought was a plus. Thus will be simple. How could I possibly get this wrong?
Im not a seasoned pro but have played along side a few over the years. I got better technically and mentally when I paid attention to what they all had in common. Below are a few of the things I noticed first:
Arrived at rehearsals on time, set up, tuned and ready at start time.
Organized.
Stopped complaining.
Knowledgable how a PA functions.
Respectful towards sound guy.
Arrived at rehearsal prepared.
Practiced set list BEFORE rehearsals.
Practice enough they didn’t rely on charts .
Never noodle between songs in rehearsal.
Quiet when others are tuning (even when using an electronic tuner).
Smiled when playing.
Made eye contact when playing.
Don’t over play. Rarely if any.
Let the joy of being in a band soak in.
Forget the distractions and play!
Again, Let the joy of playing soak in.
Despite knowing your limitations the band thinks you’re good enough.
Let that soak in too.
Also The Sound Guy. The sound guy has the HUGE responsibility of managing the sound if several people playing and singing. AND managing how people are going to hear it in a pleasing way. Think running sound is easy? Sit with a sound guy on a few live gigs - from start to finish. Get behind a console, manage 36 or more channels of audio while multiple people competing for your attention.
This is my experience and what helped me get past the petty frustrations of being in a live band. If you can’t relate to this or any of its parts, this nonsensical rambling comment isn’t for you. No matter how expensive your guitar is, chances are that the PA system cost more than that cool guitar strapped around your neck. The sound guy wants you to be satisfied with your sound but has the responsibility of managing the whole band through the FOH (front of house). When you have sufficiently practiced and are prepared for rehearsal or the gig you’ll find that the sound guy will have confidence pushing you up in the mix. In short, lay off the sound guy.
Rant over.
love this!
thanks so much!
Great videos but IMO could be improved slightly by taking the music to talk ratio up a little bit. I'm getting 1 part music to 10 parts talk. At least 50:50 would be nice. Just a request if it may be requested.
Noted! Thanks for the tip!
Awesome thank you!
Jesus digs delay. That's why he didn't come out for 3 days.
Well said 😂
