I can't imagine why anyone…"

My friend has the 314 and it sounds great too, but in my opinion not as responsive as the GC7
I would def. go with Taylor over Martin, I just think the sound is more…"

Junjie replied to Jennifer Kerr's discussion 'Lead from your strength? or Push yourself to learn something new?'"Suddenly you reminded me of how I started off using the guitar for worship. At that time I was a keyboardist, a darn good one, but I WANTED to lead worship with guitar. Why? Because I saw this worship leader do it and it was so totally awesome!
So…"
Jennifer Kerr replied to Jennifer Kerr's discussion 'Lead from your strength? or Push yourself to learn something new?'"yeah, I love it.... I play while I lead all the time at our two smaller venues..but at the big one, it's a more stressful/ high production place, and it makes me nervous....."
"Good for you, Jennifer! I think you'll find having the guitar around at different times will really expand what you do. God bless!"
Jennifer Kerr replied to Jennifer Kerr's discussion 'Lead from your strength? or Push yourself to learn something new?'"I find it much easier to make these decisions about other people..it's harder to be objective when it comes to myself..
But after talking it through with musicians that are much more talented than me, I'm taking my guitar on stage at the…"
Pete Brower replied to Jennifer Kerr's discussion 'Lead from your strength? or Push yourself to learn something new?'"Good point Rick. I've picked up a really good guitar player and a solid and growing bass player this way. Neither could play at all before but felt called to learn. I pointed them to a great, local, music store that has good instructors. When…"
"I would qualify that to say that at least you should be able to play the instrument solidly - after all, there will usually be other instruments working with you. To me, skillfully means with a lot of finesse, and that takes years. But as long as a…"
Andrea Neustaeter replied to Jennifer Kerr's discussion 'Lead from your strength? or Push yourself to learn something new?'"I've been in that situation a few times...my strength is piano but I really wanted to lead from the front (our piano is off stage and almost in a corner) so I started guitar - I had been playing awhile and had basic skills down OK but I knew I…"
Chris Brinkley replied to Jennifer Kerr's discussion 'Lead from your strength? or Push yourself to learn something new?'"In the Psalms David talks about playing skillfully before the Lord. If you can't play skillfully, then one should not introduce that on the platform until they can play skillfully. Play from your strengths while building on the new things until…"
"Thanks, Chris, for mentioning the thing about not giving a disclaimer...it really detracts from the experience when someone gets up and says "Uh, I'm not really good at this, but here goes..." We think that by saying it, we're…"
Chris Blanton replied to Jennifer Kerr's discussion 'Lead from your strength? or Push yourself to learn something new?'"Rick pegged it: "...when I know it won't distract from what I'm on stage to do."
If you want to lead worship, you gotta be able to worship too. Everybody's journey is unique, and you'll know when is the right time to…"
Junjie replied to Jennifer Kerr's discussion 'Lead from your strength? or Push yourself to learn something new?'"For me, I'll learn a new instrument pretty much out of need. If let's say I am working at a church that really needs a bassist urgently, then I'll make myself learn bass. And I'll be out using the skills as soon as I am ready,…"

- Hey Jen, I just noticed you left a comment on my page. Sorry I haven't noticed it till now. I'm sorry to hear about your recent flooding as well. I live near Nashville so I can totally understand what your going through.
Anyway you asked about Xtreme Ministries. The pastor who started the church is a retired MMA fighter and he trains alot of MMA fighters so we go the name from xtreme sports. We minister to alot of military because were near Ft. campbell so the name sparks interest in alot of soldiers and they come and check it out. So that's what that's all about.
Peace and blessing all over ya and hope you get your house back to normal.
