Great service today. Our College kids came back this week!!! They doubled the size of the congregation. A couple weeks ago our WL asked everyone to make a list of 3-5 songs that really speak to where we are in our hearts right now. Not just songs we like, but songs that move us in our worship...

2nd local store didn't have much of string selection either. They did have D'Addario Chrome Flats but in light gauge. They convinced me at the store to give them a try. I've already restrung and love the tone. Very warm and boomy. I was concerned that the lights would not have the bottom end...

Thanks for the advice. I had to laugh a little about the lack of respect bass players get from the small, local music stores...I had decided to try the chromes and popped in the music store down the street at lunch time. They had maybe 8 sets of bass strings in the entire store...some...

Need advice on strings please. I'm asking in this thread because I think as PW players we tend to look for a little different sound than others. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have recently transitioned from guitar to bass after a 15 year break from bass so advice is very welcomed. I'm...

My advice is to get them comfortable with carrying the bottom end and not worry as much about playing everything note for note. Focusing on the root and learning a few fills first and the working on walking up and down. The Charlie Hall version of How Great Thou Art...Fairly simple progression...

The heart behind the postings above is truly a blessing to anyone who reads this thread. When I first joined this group a couple months ago, I was struggling with the way things were being handled with my worship team. I took advice from others here and have grown as a musician and in my faith...

Loaded fine for me. Strange.

I noticed, if I don't log onto the thread for a couple days, the notifications stop coming. I chose to get them immediately. You may want to check the frequency of notifications. Have a great show...Would love to check it out but 3000+ miles is a little far to go.

Prayers go out to you and your wife.

Pepsiblue, I hate to hear what you are having to deal with. The church should be a place of peace and bonding as the body. I am praying for you and your church.

Great service today. We had 7 songs prepared. We had a free flowing service with most of the time dedicated to congregation members speaking their heart about their relationship with Christ. It was a beautiful service and unlike anything I have been involved with in a worship service. Timing...

I was not familiar with Elevation Worship. I checked out some videos on youtube after seeinganother Nick's posts and absolutely love their style. Very passionate music. The song structures of beggining with just piano and building is awesome. Very nice stuff from them!!! I am going to turn my...

Lifehouse has a lot of songs that could work. You and Me is a song I do in my secular acoustic guitar set. Hanging by a Moment is another I have done that has gone over well. The Broken Road - Rascal Flats

Ranat, I feel your struggles and pray that this will come together for you and your worship team. Based on your postings here, speculation and my experience in working with many people of varying personality types, I offer this input. There are many different styles of leadership. In your case...

I had not thought about copyrights. I bet that's it. I think we have a limited license that allows us to post original music to our Planning Center for rehearsal and to play the songs for services but no reproduction for distribution . Makes sense.
