It takes serious discipline to hold back when you have this much talent but its like a fine tuned recipe when all the parts work together to glorify God !!!! 😃

@MrVbobby 11 месяцев назад

A good musician doesn't need to hold back in fact you just mentioned the problem. No one should have to be holding back that's not worship it's bondage. I guess its hard when you haven't played in a band. Everyone's goal is to sound good together. People have different ideas about the Holy Spirit but I have felt myself directed by the Spirit what I should play and it was the perfect amount. Who is going to count the notes and when is it one note over. It's like picking a color to paint a wall it is subjective. Thank you for you reply and God Bless You.

@Mus34679 3 месяца назад

@@MrVbobbyIt’s a really interesting point. I think it largely depends on the situation and the type of music. This setting reminds me of a Nashville studio session where everyone is seriously underplaying and listening and there is a mixer to bring through certain parts of different instruments and tone down or even cut out other parts that aren’t necessary. If you have that, than yes I would agree you don’t need to worry as much about overplaying. But if you’re in a Baptist church for instance playing a praise break, then in that case it might be a different story. But even then it’s still very possible to play too much. And yes, “too much” is subjective, absolutely. It’s all about using your best judgement and trying to blend as much as possible; picking your holes and spaces, and learning every time you make music. These guys seem to have lots of experience and sensitivity which to me makes them more reliable than amateur musicians who just started playing. Although you never know. Cheers.

When everyone "overplayed", the energy in the room quadrupled. That's the kind of energy we NEED in church. Yeah, maybe the drummer went off the deep end on the kick, and maybe the keys and guitar stepped on each other's toes a couple times, but that was still a big improvement. Just my opinion.. but it's an opinion I hold pretty strongly. Stop being timid! We have great instrumentalists in church; play out and praise Him!

@solkvist8668 3 года назад

@@jeremianderson4861 the irony is that exact type of overplaying is what makes gospel so powerful for people. It’s people playing their heart out, all of their skill, for god. I played in a band that was similar to this for the better part of a decade, and while it wasn’t a problem for a long while because I wasn’t good enough, it was very tiresome in time due to how restrictive it felt. I wasn’t allowed to enjoy my music that was for god, which in my opinion kind of defeats the purpose. It felt disingenuous to me. Not all bands can overplay, and for the average church the principle of avoiding overplaying is great because the skill level simply isn’t there, but for these guys it makes no sense at all as to why they would limit themselves to playing less fun music, because both gospel and contemporary Christian music are worship.

@jeremianderson4861 3 года назад

@@solkvist8668 I totally get you in that. I've personally been in several types of bands (concert, orchestra, jazz, woodwind choir and marching band) including a marching in which our Clarinet section alone is bigger than the church choir/band combined. With that being said, there is a difference between overplaying and improvising. Improvisation is unwritten music that is played that fits within the style that is being played while keeping balance of being an accompaniment. Overplaying is also unwritten but it is played without being mindful of keeping balance as an accompaniment.

Except for the fact that when they "overplayed", it felt like the music had a soul, and was truly worshipful. When played "proper", it sounds stifled and corporate, like it was taken straight off the production line of a soulless machine. There's absolutely something to be said for knowing your limits, and fitting together as a coherent group, and yeah, not playing complicated parts for the sake of showing off, but stopping your musicians from "playing skillfully, with a shout of joy" (Psalm 33:3), and forcing them to confine to simple, brutally accessible, and overused parts is why modern Christian pop is so lifeless and soulless. As people have pointed out, that was the time that the musicians looked alive, looked like they loved playing. The energy in room quadrupled.

The problem (or should I say good thing?) is that these musicians are so talented, skillful, good and disciplined that the "overplay" they demonstrated is not the real "overplay" we so often see or hear. They were still showing restraint during the overplay. That's the reason some of you say you like it.

@willputh 7 лет назад

Yep, that's the hard thing about using tasteful musicians as the example. Their overplaying was actually pretty great. I know what Don is talking about, the people who solo over every phrase and don't play to the song. If anything, in general, most musicians I've played with tend to just play ALL THE TIME with no dynamics in worship. It takes a while to develop taste and technique. I'm not going to go as far as saying to sit someone out of a band like he recommends, but it does take time to develop a band that worships and plays well together. It's definitely not easy.

@DonMoenTV 4 года назад

There's absolutely nothing wrong with a jam session. One of the blessings of playing any musical instrument is that you will eventually get to a level where you can go off script and express your own musical style. As worship leaders, though, it's all about leading people deeper into the presence of God. It's the job of the band to take the focus off of themselves and direct all the focus to God. Sometimes, less is more.

@codywalsh4167 4 года назад

@@DonMoenTV Don, have you seen Adam Neely's video regarding Christian contemporary music, and his approximation of such "overplaying" as akin to Bibically making a joyful noise? I saw joy in the performance of "what not to do", and as a former praise band director of 3 years AND someone who runs an analog "secular" studio, I find that this stifling of energy is precisely what makes many fear a relationship with our God. Any insecurity a member of the congregation feels in the presence of skillful performance should be addressed with encouragement of the crowd, not discouragement of the joyous musician. It's long past time to pray about this, friend. God bless.

@codyknapp3003 4 года назад

@DonMoenTV While I completely agree with serving the song as well as making sure the mindset that it is not all about the musician, I offer a different perspective: the notes that I play are my most pure form of praise and glorification to God. The other Cody up there put it perfectly referring to the "joyful noise," which as the leader of a worship team are the exact words I tell the rest of the band every Sunday between praying and starting the service. You write beautiful melodies (Arise is one of my favorites), and as long as that is still present and defined, I believe that embellishing with other musical elements is beneficial, as the excitement of the worship team is infectious and engaging to the congregation.

I think we would have to decide on what is our best praise and our best music as a team. More than that, I also feel that more than just music, offering our best praise also means being able to lead the congregation better as a team. Meaning, if we as a team can be more accommodating for the congregation to sing their praises to God, then we are offering our worship in that way as well. Our discipline to hold back our skills whenever necessary is can also be an act of praise. Just my 2 cents, God bless and have a good day :)

“It’s not about you, it’s about God.” Now there’s two ways that this can go. First Route, some people definitely want to hijack the worship if they aren’t disciplined enough in the band such as smacking down a whole bunch of guitar riffs where it just doesn’t need to be. Overplaying sometimes really ruins the intention of certain songs and in this case ‘Thank You Lord’ is a solemn quite chill song and I’m pretty sure in the ending of the studio song they do a key change 1 semitone up and make it sound quite nice and joyful. Route 2, now sometimes this ‘overplaying’ can be for the Lord. As a young musician you’d wanna give your heart out to the Lord through the way you have honed your practice and the amount of hours of practice you had to endure. It certainly doesn’t feel right for someone to just tell you to start playing really simple chords just for a song. Now what I believe is that as a amateurish musician myself, it shouldn’t be ‘overplaying’ but it should be practiced with the band on what certain parts of the song a guitar solo might be needed or a bass fill. Now imagine every solemn worship song or just solemn song had every band member overplaying throughout the ENTIRE song. You wouldn’t get a solemn song no more but a messy thick texture of instrumentation that just doesn’t need to be there and would sound disgusting. So in conclusion, I believe that some songs may need JUST a little overplaying. Not too much of it but just enough to get a whole church congregation to enjoy themselves being there worshiping the Lord. Especially when it comes to the youth and young adults. They almost every time want their church to be a concert when they first join which is not the purpose of the church. So yeah a little funky bass or a little show off from the pianist or guitarist would be fine in certain parts of a song

@Gunblastz Год назад

I've never understood the sentiment of not overplaying for the sake of keeping the focus on worshipping God. We've never compromised on harmony and complexion in music until the past 30 years, and suddenly we can't play worship music with a little flavour? I understand that not all musicians who want to serve the Lord are very skilled, so it makes sense to release worship songs that can be easily replicated by amateurs. Still, worship music should not be an excuse to neglect pushing artistic boundaries. Afterall, Bach gave all of his works to God while pushing musical boundaries. I don't know why we can't do the same.

The big problem here is "If everybody did that it would be really messy." Learn from jazz and realize it can be done perfectly if you take turns. There's tons of jazz music with simple base melodies but they blossom into such great works, and each player makes it in their own way. Feeling God, worshipping God should be an individualized experience, and when each musician shares their own they'll connect to people in the audience and take turns giving people an amazing feeling. That to me is a much better idea than playing it safe and restricting everyone to the same constant level of enjoyment. Music shouldn't be a hum - it should be a zoop and a blam pizazz. The very tasteful and restrained improv some of these guys did is enough... just give us *something* other than what plays on the radio on repeat. The staleness of it all really pushes people away!

My wife and I started going to a church and the worship there was really good excellent vocals and very competent musicians. Being a piano player myself with many years experience I was soon playing with them. The team talked a lot about being careful not to be a show off and to be humble in your playing. The team being very talented was actually very young. My playing was a little more free that they're I play and allow the Holy Spirit to lead me as often as I can., So, I played my way and before long I was getting a lot of compliments from the congregation and then it was as if when they saw that I didn't cause a problem they began to venture out remember I said they were very talented. A couple of months latter the pastor came to me and the worship leader and he actually said. "Thank God He Sent Robby here because you have all come out of your shell and are sounding a lot more full and worshipful. Every situation is different but there is a lot of false humility our there and legalistic attitudes out there. Often in the New Testament especially they are warning about falling back into that legalsitic atmosphere. Personally l say let the Spirit of God lead the way and deal with specific problems as they arise. Overly strict rules for the team stifle creativity and talent.

Sometimes, a single chord held by the synth for a minute does much more than anything else. All the other musicians could add many notes into that single chord to make it sound more extravagant, but they would understand (as a band) the fine line between a "concert" and "worship". And, because God is the main focus, a musicians' skills is not the priority. Anyone with a willing heart is more important than anyone wielding the skills.

One of the musician (synth player) plays a minor 9 chord, which by itself is very beautiful chord, the problem is the singer was singing the minor 3 in the chord, which is only half step away from that, causing her to start to sing flat without knowing why. The pianist and I immediately identified the problem and helped that player correct course. The mutual and almost immediate understanding between me and that pianist player didn't come from familiarity. We met that morning. It came from our musicianship. Alot of people have the wrong impression that musicianship skill is ability to play lots of notes, exotic chords, etc. Not true.

Maybe it’s just me but when they all started to over play together, I was like, WOOOHOOO! Ow!

Does it not say in Davie 50:4 "Each man of Israel must slap bass, Epic!"

Psalms 33:3 totally says that though (more or less)

@MatthewAppleby42 4 года назад

@@kailalynch1223 yeah, I was making a bit of a joke but you're right, there is a more serious note. Worship is an act of celebration and although ego music is best avoided, worship music should be a way to show our delight at God's grace and if that means playing more than is written on the sheet music, follow the spirit!!

When they were all actually “overplaying” I actually felt something

I agree

Sigh. Another sheep just parroting whatever Adam Neely says. Do you realize that those musicians were literally trying to sound bad and you've just justified it in your head cuz you heard someone say it's actually good.

jbulletc I’m gonna listen to his video after this but I felt something too. I’m pretty sure if they played the music bland-like for any non-believer it would be harder for them to get closer to God

@jbulletc 4 года назад

@@adnwzhre You're confusing, "Bland" for "serving the song". This video offers much better advice whether it's for a band, gig, getting a job, or a church. Keep in mind that the drummer in the video link I'm giving you is literally trying to do the same over playing that these musicians are doing in Don's band. They were trying to be distracting and bad. That's why they're smiling and laughing. Not cuz they were finally having fun, like Adam was suggesting. Don't let Adam fool you into thinking overplaying doesnt exist. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9oQsKRyihEA.html

Right, my thing is they're accenting themselves to make it seem worse. You can "overplay" in your own space and it sounds perfectly fine, in fact it sounds more soulful and true.

Loved the session so much. This is a fact in every church worship. It's all about God but most young musicians over play during worship allowing the spirit of pride to be exhausted. It's a good lesson for young worship leaders and musicians. Greatly blessed by this session. Reminding us to glorify the living God in the place of worship. Bessed

That drum run was divine.

Even as they overplay, they still hit the right notes and come up with cool lines... Thank you for this material! Very helpful!!!

Thank you Don Moen! This is a great lesson! I can just imagine the vocalists screaming their loudest into the mics too! This is very typical in some Churches!
