he bass guitar is the groove section of the worship team. I wouldn’t go as far as to say, “It’s all about that bass,” but a well-played bass guitar will get the congregation grooving better than any other instrument on the stage.
The acoustic guitar is the quintessential worship music instrument—perfect for stages, prayer closets, and campfires around the world! It is hard to imagine the typical worship team existing without an acoustic guitar, and rightly so.
A good song is like a good pie. Each slice represents a different piece of the song’s instrumentation.
Worshipers, worship leaders, musicians, it is time to remove the obstructive crutch!

Being a Worship Leader, or a member of the Worship Team, typically means that you will be on stage, in plain view of the congregation, as you exercise the privilege of leading them into an awareness of the presence of God. Whether you like it or not, they are looking at your outward appearance.

One of the most common questions that I am asked by musicians is, “How do I get better?” This question is typically coupled with a statement like, “I’ve plateaued…” or, “I don’t know how to grow from here…” My advice to people who ask this question is always the same. I’ll admit that it is a bit counter-intuitive, but it works.

The American rock band REO Speedwagon released an album in the late 1970s called You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can’t Tuna Fish. I don’t know why, but that is really funny to me. When it comes to making great music that is compelling and engaging, one of the most important and foundational tools is the tuner. If even one band member is playing out of tune, it is a real problem for everyone.
