Thanks, for the past few weeks I have taken it slow, I have only had the oppurtunity to lead on a few songs, one song I got to lead on was a song called Salt and Light, it was nice because instead of having to improvise the music the guitar was supposed to play was put in musical notation and I read the notes of the page, it seems like slowly as I play I am improving my ability to play what I am hearing pretty well on my sax, now I just need to begin bridging the gap between my ears and my fingers. Thanks for all your comments I have found that whenever I hear a song if I don't know anything about it(chords and key) I can usually find something which does accent what the singers are singing. Actually this week was the first week I brought my new SX Tele to church to play and the PW leader said "man what kind of guitar are you playing, that sounds so good." That was nice and now that I have a little twang to play around with I can't wait until I find a sound which I know well enough to try and lead with, she told me if I ever feel like playing lead I am more than welcome to do it, it isn't about how good it sounds to me but to Him, I still am playing chords for 95% of the songs we do but soon, hopefully by the end of the summer I will be a mean lean lead guitaring machine.
I can't wait to visit some other churches praise teams to see what kind of stuff they do, and I completely agree with jbmambo, we aren't putting on a concert we are leading a P+W service.
refin I would love to see the response to someone walking up and saying they were playing piano next week but sadly my church is having problems with anybody wanting to do anything (Hence the reason for the Wonderful Sound Techs Got to Love Them),there are people who know what to do but they don't seem to want to get involved, it seems the same people do everything, hopefully the new interum pastor can help stir up some renewal in our church.
Man am I long winded or what? Sorry about that.
