Our worship leader had to step down for some personal reasons , so now we have a new worship leader who filled in occasionally and has overseen the audio visual ministry. Since he has filled in occasionally, we are familiar with him and he should be a great fit . Things change though. Our previous worship leader sometimes was too laid back sometimes and mostly let people figure out how they wanted to play our songs. There are some advantages of that style , but also some disadvantages as well. Most of the time it would work out , but sometimes it would be bad .
Our new worship leader is more structured and likes to stick as closer to the original ,which is good because it gives us a base line . He is a great worship leader and singer. He’s not so much a guitar player therefore relies on the capo too much instead of playing using the chords the song was written in. Not a big deal until you misplace the capo . That happened both sundays on a song. Last Sunday it was off by 3 steps. It was to the point that the rest of us quit playing . He was aware of it afterwards and apologized. I recommended to put a sticky note on his iPad.
We have been using the OnSong app . Our previous WL would send the songs out and I’d build a set list. I could change keys and add stickies at my leisure . This was helpful when we played in B flat and he wanted to capo. I would keep my iPad in B flat and play those chords when necessary. We now have Planning Center which is great because it ties YouTube links ,song list and chord charts all in 1. I still can’t see where you can change keys at random. Anyways , should be interesting…..
