Worship Band Rehearsal 

Cowbell sound and audience compatible cues

He got me there!! Hahahaha

I don't like the click track. It's distracting. When you're worshipping, you should be worshipping with your heart. It doesn't matter if the congregation is on spot or in tune. As long as they are ingaged. That's what is important for worship leaders, to lead worship. Not orchestra a choir. Honestly watching Ashton she looks board and like she doesn't even want to be there. I get it's practice, but stop working so hard for perfection you loose the reason we lead a worship team. I believe this was one of the points of disengagement your pastor was trying to get across in you "5 things your pastor wants you to stop doing.

@@allenhoekstrajr It's.... a.... joke...

Goodness of God is a ok song but its too simple in terms if chords. A lot of modern music lacks creativity. They all are 2 or 3 chords songs

@@christianbennett6970 thts basically all ccm songs ;; but you can be creative with the songs. You just need a different approach not just individually but as a whole band.

nice

Ha!

Isn't that the same as raising the key 1 step??!?

@@Charles.Wright Raising "Way Maker" 1 step from the original key of E would put the song in F#. Looks like Jake drops it 4 steps to C.

RomoDrummer he literally asked for our opinion on the mix and I actually commented the same thing.

The lead guitar was part of the backing tracks 👍😄

You've def never played with in ears and clicks before. It does not distract from the actual worship... if it does, it means either you're not used to it or you're just spiritually lacking. And it shouldn't take more than 1-2 weeks of getting used to it. And most church don't even let the spirit lead, like you're suggesting. They just sing the songs from order to end like how they always practiced and prepared and end the worship. So in that case, the click being there makes no different. You're thinking of those spont moment in worship where the "spirit leads"... btw they also use clicks during that. Oh the click is just a metronome, it doesn't actually lead anything- it just keeps u on time. Then there's the "cue" that tells you when you go into the verse and chorus etc. Honestly, it's not rlly necessary but it does rlly help. My band doesn't use click or cues but I sure do wish we do a lot of times. Singers forget where we're going so many times and I have to personally say it out loud. Like when you're in the moment and focused, you tend to forget stuff. tldr; it doesn't distract. It doesn't mean holy spirit is not leading. Clicks aren't necessary either, but they're nice to have.

I was SO relieved to know that was a joke😅

Forreal!!! Lol

Jake irl is pretty much subtitle jake with more pewdiepie references. It's kinda funny.

And where can I find an Ashton?

Depends on the mentality of the band / team. I'm trying to change this in my church atm. I have changed from saying Practice (which is what the individuals should be doing themselves) and call it rehursle. We play as if people are in the room, playing the small musical parts/ ministry things too. I believe those two words practice/ rehursle mean very different things.

I'm with you on that one bro haha😂👍

Get an optical gate, it only turns the mic on when a face is in front of it.

If anything, I would say that this video shows exactly what you want it to - *what these musicians did before Sunday morning makes all the difference*. They all know the music, cold. (Ok, maybe Jake had to dictate a few chords here and there) They show up on time, run through the set, make a few tweaks here and there (mostly before "Miracles"). I don't know how you would make a specific 30 minutes of your day/week more "Christ-centered" than the other times. That's where private, quiet, intentional time reading, listening, and talking to God comes into play.

😂👍

Not sure the bassist learnt in the week - that first run of song 1, I wouldn't have been able to carry on without running through the chords

It could use more cowbell :)

I agree that's what I had to do for my team. I was kinda forced into it because we just didn't have the people. I learn to play at least the main lines for songs and then switch to rhythm in other sections.

VincentG991 that’s exactly how I do it!

thanks

@@lukeramlet275 Are you still playing for the church?

You are hearing waves real tune.

Thank you, I'm actually 17 but honestly I think Jake thinks I'm 12.

@@lukeramlet275 Haha, based on his passive-aggresiveness, I couldn't totally trust his word. But nonetheless, there's a lot of guys that are way older than you that don't have your sense of dynamics.

@@jessekahl2079 thanks, practice makes perfect.

Lol

pretty sure it's our bassist messing with his input

@@Churchfront - Haha. Yeah, just kinda ironic :)

😂

Herman David I think there is only one Ashton. ....... but if you pay him more than Jake................... bahahaaaaaa. 🤣

Our worship minister uses backings for pads, strings, synthesizer sequence, percussion and to double background vocals.

Chris Means yeah in some of his vlogs, he shows the back of the auditorium and it shows that he uses a confidence monitor
