I decided to exchange the fretless for my Smith Black Tiger for this Sunday, because of how uncoordinated Thursday rehearsal was. Things are going to be hard enough to tighten up without the possibility of me going “pitchy” every now and then. Im also drilling on the grooves on the provided recordings. Im hoping that if I can lay down a rock solid, confident foundation, things might come together.
We are playing one of my favorite songs from a while back. It’s got a nice groove that gets you moving.
And, I confess that I embellish on it a bit…
That’s a great one, we used to play it all the time!Is that Israel Houghton You Are Good?
I love playing that one!
I really miss being involved with Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas services. I used to be involved with all of them. Then my wife started taking on the responsibility of the family get-togethers on those occasions. And she needs my assistance. Hopefully, the now young adult sons and daughters will take on the responsibility in the future and I can get back in the saddle.Who is serving on easter (morning) this year? We are having a baptism service, that is three of them and I will be busy al morning playing my part. Will share the livestream
And since this is a guitar forum: as an added bonus my newly acquired cu22 will join the festivities![]()
I used to play a lot at Unity of Boulder.
Using an overdrive pedal for anything was inappropriate.
Do you guys who play in more traditional settings ever use distortion and overdrive?
Wow...6 bands??? Is there player overlap? Lol, we only have 40-50 on a great day in church. Our's is small, seating a max of about 200. Right now we lack a drummer, so the keyboard player programs a rhythm section as close as he can. Thus, we have keys, two guitar players and one bass player. Anywhere from 3-5 worship band singers. It works, but we sure miss our drummer.Congratulations. Very cool amp and guitar!!
We have 6 full bands and that means I olay only once in a blue moon. Would prefer to serve more often if I'm honest.
There are a few songs I've used the overdrives on; first to come to mind is Revelation Song-- Man do we crank that oneI used to play a lot at Unity of Boulder.

Yep! I kick in a Strymon Riverside near the end when the dynamics increase. I dial in a lush ethereal reverb shimmer on the HX Effects for that one. And, welcome!There are a few I've used the overdrives on; first to come to mind is Revelation Song-- Man do we crank that one![]()
