    How to play shout

    So my music director at my church asked me to learn some shout music. I really have no idea how to play it though. I understand the basic major drive but other than I got nothing. Does anyone have any experience or advice?

    Help with crackling

    So my Ibanez btb745 mid pot randomly made a pop sound while setting the eq. Every time I rotated past the mid way point it would make the same sound, so I took everything apart. There were no loose wires or dirty pots or busted pots. After reassembling it the sound disappeared. I am worried...

    How do I make learning 11 songs a week less painful?

    I'm in church band. Band leader gives a set of songs to practice. After rehearsal, they decide which four songs out of the 11 they want to play on Sunday and the key they want to play in. This is really annoying sometimes as some songs are really weird to transpose,and those songs tend to take a...

    The PJB is enough for a quiet stage and the DI box to the sanctuary board. Our organist is out, so I have space to fill. Show us your candlelight rig tonight.

    Is this busy/over-playing? [video]

    I don't typically post things like this but I'm genuinely curious... Yesterday, I played bass at my church. I'm thankful for playing at church because it's been the only consistent gig most of us have had during the shutdowns (even if what we mostly play is some variation of I IV vi V... lol)...

    Tips to play in a band with an Old Pipe Organ

    I accepted a new project in a semi established gothic metal band. They have a drummer, one guitarist, two vocals and an old giant pipe organ, the ones that old churches have... I never played in a band with such instrument. As a bassist, looking for some tips to stand out.

    Reevaluating my amp needs

    I know there have been a ton of threads about going amp less, but what about pruning? I have a Zoom B1on, a Phil Jones Double Four, and a Bergantino CN 112 and Forte. I am mainly playing acoustic guitar and some bass for my church, which does not allow me to use my amps. I might play a bit of...

    RENTON, WA—According to multiple people attending LifeVictory Community Church this past Sunday, a boring, mellow, repetitive worship song was immediately improved by bassist Kyle "Soul Train" Mulholland's funky slap bass line.

    Filled in at a church gig

    This weekend, I filled in as a bassist for a two-day church anniversary gig as a favor to a fellow band member. (We got paid.) I guess I wanted to recount my adventure here and see if I could get some advice from fellow TB members. It was a pretty messy gig. Fun, kind of, but messy. This was a...

    Worship songs?

    So I see from reading the forums that many of you play in worship bands. I used to be a guitar player in a church band, but that was so long ago that Delirious? was all the rage. We recently decided that our house is too small for the family now and we are looking to move house and because we...

    I'm really lost on this one. Been playing bass for 2.5 years now, alone, and want to play in a church band to start out playing with other people.

    Back at it.

    Haven't been on here in a while. Was playing drums again exclusively for a while. Soon I will be joining the worship band at my church (again), and the leader has asked me to alternate between drums and bass. I'm excited for this opportunity, but fear my beginner Ibanez GSR200 won't be enough...

    If you were to try out for a band, what do you need to know and what would you expect?

    So in the next year or so I want to try out for our local church band. If you put some tabs in front of me, I could play along, but when you try out for a band, are tabs really a thing, or do they use more classic sheet style music? I've never played with anyone else before (Outside of being a...

    Old Church Bass?

    Hi! I picked this up in a thrift shop yesterday. The owner said he found it in a really really old church that was closing down- he found a hidden room where he saw this, and the church official told him he didnt know what it was and that he could have it. I am so intrigued by it. I originally...

    Plugging bass into Church PA system.

    I'm needed to add light bass parts to an acoustic guitar Praise band playing in church. The church is huge, has a large powerful PA that they plug into. Would it be realistic for me to plug in my bass into the mixer console, to provide a gentle thump? I assume I should maybe roll off the low...

    Does church music pay?

    I've been invited to play bass for a service on Sunday - it sounds like just a few songs. I'm not a congregant or even a churchgoer, so this is a first for me. Do these gigs typically pay? Do they pay well? Is a backline sometimes / usually in place? Thanks for the info.

    I play bass guitar in my church and my church discourages use of bass only amp+cabinet (or for that matter any instrument) in order not to disturb other musicians.

    Greetings from another guitar-player at church...
