I know some people don't like the Fender Acoustisonic series of guitars. I have the Jazzmaster and I find it pretty great. As far as tones go, it's the most versatile guitar I own between my electrics and my acoustics. With a quick position change it can go from a really nice full acoustic to more of a Taylor sound or even an overdriven sound with the onboard humbucker. I let my buddy use it for several weeks while he was leading worship. He loved it but he's right back to playing his Martin.
Good video, man.
Thank you for this great and practical video. I’m primarily an acoustic player, but I may have an opportunity to play electric at a new church, because they currently have no electric guitar. Do you have a recommendation for a delay setting that I could just keep on the whole time to fatten up the sound if I don’t have a tap tempo? Or would it just be better to not have delay on at all in that context? I’m wondering, if having a little delay with low volume and maybe only one or two repeats would work???
This series is worth watching multiple times, I am picking things up each time. Like the settings for when you leave delay on all the time. Awesome info, thanks so much!
Which type of reverb and delay pedals are you using? I like the way they sound
Thank you for the lesson

God bless you brother, Thank you! Super helpful Love this Video ❤ Great info
Hi Matt. I really appreciate your videos. I lead occasionally with electric, have a Godin Montreal which is a lot like a 335 and I would really like to know what pickups you have in your Gibson and is it a 335? Thank you. – JM
This is themost weired approach to guitar and music I ever heard of. Warship guitar… what the heck? Well, enjoy what you find to add up your life. And leave mine to me.
Wow
Hi thank you that's a good video… I think I have the same es 335 Gibson.. do you think it is good enough as a Gretsch guitar do worship? Even for distortion effect? Can you please give me your opinion? Thank you
Any specific advice if you only have electric and acoustic?
I’m curious what your advice or wisdom would be for leading worship with electric guitar without a band? It’s just me on guitar, and my wife plays the piano. We are a tiny church of about 30, and I actually have been teaching myself how to play guitar for the last year because both of our guitar players moved away last year so I took over the worship leading. I go back and forth with an acoustic on certain songs, but I really enjoy the electric. Are drum loop pedals a good way to make up for lack of drums? What would you suggest? So for someone with very limited resources, as well as experience, how would you approach leading worship in my situation? Thanks!
Very nice Matt, thanks.
I have wanted to lead from electric for a loooong time but ive never had the luxury of having an acoustic player as backup. Do I have to have an acoustic player if im playing electric?
Gr8 tips and sounds gr8. Thanks!
Thank you
Muddy for the win
Thanks, man ! I wish to play in a worship band again. One day and I used to play bass christian rock band. Over the last year or so, I have learned to play worship on guitar. I love this video !
Hi, thank you for sharing your tips. I’m interested in learning about what electric guitar would be a worthwhile investment? My worship team of musicians are a keyboardist, flute player and I play the electric guitar. I would love to invest in a better guitar. I basically play rhythmic stuff. I don’t play licks. Just not there yet. Anyways. I hope to learn more about what kind of electric guitar is best in my situation.
can anyone explaine why he step in delay about 6 press
Well said about the Lead player.
I just started leading occasionally with acoustic after leading with electric for 15 years lol, maybe I’m the weird one!
Southern baptist first in line at dennys every Sunday.,
Do they have guitar solos in church? Not boring stuff either, fretboard gymnastics. Fast fret Olympics. False excitement, self gratification and the agony of defeat. Thank God for Starbucks before anointing kicks in. There should be sign hung outside some churches that says, “Welcome one and for all for at least two weeks, whereupon your value (money) and behavior will be reassessed for attendance consideration. (Surveillance). A man laughs to loud takes the wrong parking spot. Sister Bertha is Pentecostal, but she doesn’t agree with brother Ned about speaking tongues during service. Newcomer Elisabeth just got a divorce, and Kathy thinks she should’ve hung in there if she really cared about what the Bible says. Sara was seen at restaurant last Saturday, and Susie is pretty sure that rose colored liquid in glass with little umbrella on top wasn’t pink virginal lemonade. Frank cusses. And mike never misses trailer party, football games season tickets raiders.
What if someone in a worship team doesn't want help? Doesn't think they need guidance when they clearly doesn't develop anything and doesn't pour any energy into practising? Asking for a friend 😛
I have had the rythm vs lead guitar totally wrong apparently :O I though the rythm "does the rythm". Had the job to make stuff sound like it is moving forward rythmically. Thought on the other hand that the lead guitarist would do biggest chords and all the melody runs. I mean nothing is writting in a stone but…
I stumbled on this and you invited comments…. I played churches for near 30 years… from mega churces to small to in between and the switches were for the big part not of my doing. I’ve never understood this “formula” for Christian music. Either you have a gift form the Good Lord or you don’t. Play what’s in your heart and don’t worry about the setup you have. If the pastor fires you… in my experience you’re doing something right. You’re playing for God Almighty, He gave you the gift. Anything apart from that doesn’t matter. If you feel you are part of a weekly Sunday show… get out! This is just an old guy giving his opinion.
This is not trying dissuade anyone from playing a church, just to let you know that your gift is far more important than any “formula “ ❤️????????❤️
I'm not a leader but there is a lot of good information here for electric guitar players in worship
Banger video! This was really encouraging and helpful because I’ve got a set coming up and has allowed me to take a step back and worship
I'm the lead guitar player (riffs, solos and stuff. It's hard to find the lead parts for some of the praise songs. I'm going to share your video(s) with my praise team leader who is new to guitar and playing rhythm.
This is awesome. Thanks so much for this video. So helpful!
By far one of the best vídeos showing the proper way to lead with an electric. I’m showing this to my team at church. God sent! Blessings ????????
