Allan Midgley replied to Nick Olson's discussion 'Small groups' in the group Non-Church Worship Leader's Group"I haven't tried it but I think it's a great idea.
However, there's a huge difference between leading worship for a home group vs. a retreat.
A home group takes much more commitment because of how often it happens, and the crowd size…"
Dave Swann replied to Nick Olson's discussion 'Alternate Tunings' in the group Acoustic Guitarists"I have been using a Breedlove Concert model with Nashville tuning and have been very pleased with the tones I get. It is a nice change from my other acoustic which has standard tuning. Dave Swann"
Stevo replied to Nick Olson's discussion 'Alternate Tunings' in the group Acoustic Guitarists"Open C is a great tuning - it has several large ringing notes and allows for a lot of playing up the neck and has a lot of sustain and bass.. Bruce Cockburn's "Foxglove" is done in this tuning. I'm working on this for…"
Stewart Garry replied to Nick Olson's discussion 'Alternate Tunings' in the group Acoustic Guitarists"worship leader doesnt have to stick to any set rhythm, your the leader you do and the rest will follow. People have a set idea that worship on the acoustic is just bashing out chords but you can do so much more! worship as a musician is partially an…"
Jason Buechner replied to Nick Olson's discussion 'Alternate Tunings' in the group Acoustic Guitarists"Now all those strange, other-worldly tunings that you mention here and that I've seen on the Andy Mckee albums have baffled me! How do you learn how to play in all these tunings and what's special about them? Are they even ideal for the…"
Stewart Garry replied to Nick Olson's discussion 'Alternate Tunings' in the group Acoustic Guitarists"Hey nick I worte an instrumental album in the style of Andy Mckee, Eric Roche. In this I used a number of tunings such as...DGDGAD, ECDGAD, CGDFBbD, DGDF#AD, BGDGAD, these are all fun to mess around in :) espesially if you use tapping techniques :D"
Jason Buechner replied to Nick Olson's discussion 'Alternate Tunings' in the group Acoustic Guitarists"I love DADGAD and drop D, but another one I've never heard of elsewhere is one that I learned from Steven Curtis Chapman that I call Drop A. It's standard tuning with the B string dropped down to an A (EADGAE). This produces a very nice,…"
Daily Faith Music replied to Nick Olson's discussion 'Alternate Tunings' in the group Acoustic Guitarists"Lately I've been writing a lot of stuff with DADGBD tuning. It works quite nicely and gives a nice deep sound."
Daily Faith Music replied to Nick Olson's discussion 'Alternate Tunings' in the group Acoustic Guitarists"Cut my finger the other day so am practicing slide only for a few weeks. Trying out lots of alternate tunings. Kinda fun, but hard to compose while sliding ;) I'm using a Sigma with high action and it seems to have a good sound. Haven't…"
Shawn R Dugan replied to Nick Olson's discussion 'Alternate Tunings' in the group Acoustic Guitarists"I use an odd tuning for one song I wrote, "He Is Our Peace" - I call it Drop B: Tune low E down to a B (yes, a B - not all guitars will tolerate this) and the A up to a B (which, I realize, is antithetical to the name of the…"
Allan Midgley replied to Nick Olson's discussion 'Small groups' in the group Non-Church Worship Leader's Group"It's been my experience over the years that the youth are taking over the worship on Sundays. It is being "marketed" to them to be interested and get involved; which they are.
But, the more mature musicians are being place on the…"
Sue replied to Nick Olson's discussion 'Small groups' in the group Non-Church Worship Leader's Group"How is the MA going? Still praying."
Sue replied to Nick Olson's discussion 'Small groups' in the group Non-Church Worship Leader's Group"Sorry for the late reply. But here is my two cents worth - it will take some time because you are talking about discipleship. You can tell a person how to play the guitar but teaching them to lead is about discipleship and growth in Christ. This…"
Wayne Pau replied to Nick Olson's discussion 'Alternate Tunings' in the group Acoustic Guitarists"There is actually a specially made 'cut capo'. I have one, and it was really popular a few years back with worship guys. Makes it easy to play chords with 1 finger.

Hebrews 10: 19-25
Therefore, brothers since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having out hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

So in reality I am much more a bass player than a guitarist. I started playing guitar when I was 12 and bass a year after that. Through middle school and high school I played bass in our Jazz bands (not to mention numerous teenage garage bands) :). My senior year of high school I started a band with my girlfriend (now my lovely wife) and some of our friends. From the get go we decided that our ministry was going to be leading God's people in worship. God blessed us to be able to play all over… Continue

Henrik Olsson said… - Hi!
I guess I missed to comment back to you. The dubbel "s" in my last name is very common in Sweden, but you're right about that it isn't a worldwide spelling. Isn't Olson a Swedish name? Do you have any Swedish ancestors?

Lara Marriott said… - Hey Nick,
Thanks for your reply. Fishing, wow, I would love to fly fish again, but since having kids I haven't. My favorite places to fish when I did were Bear Lake and the Oakanagan in Kelowna Canada. My dad and I stayed out under the mood light in our float tubes fishing. It was awesome. I felt one with nature. = ) I will tell Brian you said hi.

Steve Shiveley said… - We have keyboard, bass, acoustic, drums, and 4 vocals. We are looking to add electric guitar from our youth team soon. We are a small church with not much room to play so we don't want to get too many people yet. We will in the future I'm sure.

- Thanks! I am always looking for new and exciting things to add to the worship service. We are learning a lot of new music and trying to add instruments as we get members excited about it. Where do you go for background images to use with media shout for our projectors? Any info would be helpful. God Bless.
