Hello to all!
How many know that when you are visiting a church and the pastor knows you are musician that you've basically been signed up? LOL!
Such was the case last evening. I wanted to ask for some insight one three things. First of all:
My shout sounds really thin. Granted i felt like the drummer wasn't getting with it last nite but just in generali feel like it lacks some meat. Any suggestions on beefing it up?
second:
Anyone care to share some simple theory for chording you do while the service is lulling or while people are praying etc.? I often revert to 1 - 4 -5 or do really simple hymns but i want to take it up a notch.
Finally:
How do you feel out a preacher's pattern when you are playing with him. I want to be a help not a hindrance to the service and sometimes it can be hard to judge when to hit and when not to. If anyone can help with one or all of these that would rock. I appreciate all of you. THanks for reading!
Blessings!
