"Hello Cliff,
I just recently was in the same boat--except i never played guitar. Tried it last summer and didn't get anywhere, but our last worship leader stepped down around Christmas and we needed a guitar player. Learn this as a…"

Marsha Conley replied to Michael Letus's discussion 'Violin'"Our violin player bought an electric violin and it works great. Dusty has been using it for several years and it is holding up very well. He didn't say how much it was, but he said it was less than a normal violin. Dusty…"
David D Waggoner replied to Michael Letus's discussion 'Violin'"We use condenser mics on both the violin and flute. It just takes a bit of practice to stay in the proper spot."
"Heard a number of people playing the Crafter SA guitars which act as electric and acoustic( piezo pickups) Taylor do a similar but more expensive one (maybe the Crafters is the copy) .
Did a small gig were the main act had the Taylor did…"
Stevo replied to Michael Letus's discussion 'Acoustic/electric guitar suggestions'"LOL. But truly, it does a very good job of filling that space if you pick the right pickup and tone. "
Stevo replied to Michael Letus's discussion 'Acoustic/electric guitar suggestions'"Well, I certainly think prayer is good, but it has to go through the prayer committee first. And they need 3 days to turn it around with recommendations for how low to bow and how much to put in the offering afterward...he he.
I'm not sure I…"
Lorraine Doswell replied to Michael Letus's discussion 'Acoustic/electric guitar suggestions'"'I'm ashamed to admit that I hadn't even thought of that'
I almost felt ashamed of having to admit on here that I needed to resort to prayer to choose the right guitar. Heck, we are a humble pair : )

Michael Letus replied to Michael Letus's discussion 'Acoustic/electric guitar suggestions'"What a novel approach!! I'm ashamed to admit that I hadn't even thought of that. Why do I 'compartmentalize' my prayer life--as in "these things are prayerworthy and these aren't?? "
Toni replied to Michael Letus's discussion 'Acoustic/electric guitar suggestions'"The best acoustic guitar is really a strat. ;-)"
Lorraine Doswell replied to Michael Letus's discussion 'Acoustic/electric guitar suggestions'"I've always fancied a Tak, but couldn't agree more Vic's reply. No right or wrong answer here, like Al says all guitars sound different. I'd say go with your gut instinct, try as many guitars as you can and you…"
Stevo replied to Michael Letus's discussion 'Acoustic/electric guitar suggestions'"It's just a price point that one is willing to pay for electronics. It also increases the chimp factor when buying it. (Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.)
But that being said, my Taylor has a bunch of knobs. After mine, they came out with a much simpler…"
Michael Letus replied to Michael Letus's discussion 'Acoustic/electric guitar suggestions'""In my experience, if you have an acoustic guitar that sounds good by itself, it will blend well with the rest of the band"
This makes perfect sense to me"
Michael Letus replied to Michael Letus's discussion 'Acoustic/electric guitar suggestions'"I'm basing my assumptions on personal experience. A few years ago my sax tone and playing improved drastically when moving from a student model to a much better model."
Michael Letus replied to Michael Letus's discussion 'Acoustic/electric guitar suggestions'"I'm leaning towards the Martin model DCPA5K. I do wonder why the Yamahsa and Taks have a full equalizer system and the Martins (Taylors too) just have a couple knobs to do the same thing."
Michael Letus replied to Michael Letus's discussion 'Acoustic/electric guitar suggestions'""if you plug it into a sound system you might have to EQ the low end so it doesn't sound "tinny.""
Panic sets in!! I read the words, but don't fully understand the words! I'm brand new to having dials…"
Michael Letus replied to Michael Letus's discussion 'Violin'"Thanks all. It's been an adventure this year and looks to get even more so. He won't be playing for a couple weeks, but I'll post how it goes at that time."
Profile Information
- Home Church:
- Pinelands Community Church
- Musical Gift(s):
- saxophone, djembe and other assorted percussion and noisemakers--passable on the keyboard
- Favourite Music:
- I'm particular to Vineyard Worship more than any other worship music, particularly Jeremy Riddle and Ryan Delmore. Favorite Christian bands are Violet Burning, Vigilantes of Love/Bill Malonee, the 77's/Michael Roe, and Third Day. Before my life change I was a Deadhead and also liked The Allman Brothers, Little Feat, Traffic and bands like that. I still enjoy listening to some of the old stuff, but it just doesn't move like it once did. (Amen to that!)
- Favourite Bible Verses / Passages:
- I love 1Cor 12 and the message it has for the church. Just this past year or two I got into what John and Peter wrote with more gusto than I ever have. In the Old Testament I'm particularly partial to and never tire of reading Esther, Jonah, and Habakkuk. For some reason they speak to me.

Thanks for commenting on my blog post!
"Of course that is correct, but if you do a 16 bar guitar solo, followed by a 16 bar sax solo, a 16 bar keyboard solo and 16 bars of 'all in' it'll work out much better!! ;-} "
I should have expected that you'd mention the saxophone in there! :)
