Worship Guitar: What NOT to do when soloing Lately I’ve been doing a lot of lead guitar parts. When it comes time to arrange a solo, I would have it all down for the beginning part of let’s say an 8 to 12 bar phrase, but I’d lose it in the end, kind of running out of ideas. I found this great video with Paul Baloche and Ben Gowell where they   Read More ...

Having an Organized Worship Team There’s nothing like showing up on a Sunday morning scrambling for sheet music, trying to get the band in order with scribbled twice over chord charts, with everyone guessing what note goes with what key. Any Ideas? I was talking to the worship leader at Promise Land Church in San Francisco (I play with them for Sat. evening service), and he was telling me the   Read More ...

Sunday Set Lists Our worship team didn’t know it that Sunday, but we were about to minister to people who’s spirits had been broken…who’s spirits just felt like giving up. We had practiced, and just prepared ourselves for God to do a mighty work…and He did. It was a time of healing. It was a time of overcoming..a time to declare freedom. Where the Spirit of the Lord is..there is   Read More ...

Blog:Using Social Media in ministry The ’Social Media’ definition is basically a web based connection (by computers and smart phones) that’s used for communication and interactivity. This has literally become the epicenter of this generation’s social life and will probably continue to be that way for the rest of this century. Which makes me wonder…are churches ready to look toward the future and ‘jump’ onto this social media train, to connect and   Read More ...

What’s your Sunday Set list… It’s always interesting to find how some worship set lists come together. If it’s that song picked last minute and ended up being the place where the spirit really moved, or if it was a set put together after really seeking and searching after God. I’ve been blessed to have the opportunity to play with some amazing worship leaders who have so much heart into   Read More ...

Worship Devotional: “Praying to a God that I don’t believe in…” This past Sunday (which was Christmas Day)..I was able to attend Marlon Valladares‘ church at Westlake Community Baptist Church. Marlon is my uncle who’s done a few interviews with me on the worship today podcast, and who basically helps me out whenever I have questions about leading worship or anything involving techie, nerdy stuff. Marlon preached his ‘Christmas’ sermon   Read More ...

What NOT to do in your Worship Ministry Vicky Beeching is a worship leader who blogs, leads worship, and writes incredible songs. She wrote a blogpost that I have to share… 10 Easy steps to ruin your Worship Leading Ministry I was drawn to it because I’ve never really read the don’ts before..just the do’s..if that makes any sense. The 10 steps: Only ever sing your own songs Use your   Read More ...

A Social Network Christmas I know facebook is something we all take part in…it’s beautiful and annoying at the same time…for me anyway. I saw this video at a service last year and it was A. Well put togther and B. really funny. Definitely a different take in sharing the story of the Birth of Christ. If you’re trying to find videos to show your congregation for your Christmas service..take   Read More ...

His name is Zach Fonville and he works for New Life Church as a video and graphics producer. I gotta tell you, I fell in love with his designs in his portfolio (check them out here)…and even more so…his video loops. Aww! They’re insane! It’s so good…simple, yet elegant. They’re   Read More ...

Youth Conference 2011: Provoked It was that time a year for the Youth Conference: Provoked 2011 in Burlingame, California for the Latin American District. God did a powerful and mighty work in the lives of many young people. I went with a Nikon camera (which wasn’t mine) and 5 different lenses (those weren’t mine either) to choose from…they were practically glued to me like white on rice. It’s safe to   Read More ...

Oh, ya..the best and most ‘in the pocket’ beats you’ll ever hear. Check out some vids from 2010 and 2011 that really, really, really makes me want to practice more often… Clyde Frasier Anthony Burns Luis Burgos   Read More ...

Free Guitar Lessons Video Learning and mastering your instrument requires two things…time and practice.. It also requires the desire to get better. So I guess three… There’s nothing like one-on-one lessons, but they can get expensive. Thanks to the beauty of technology and a little thing called Youtube..is that it’s possible to learn any instrument for free. There’s nothing like free stuff and it’s here.  This is a youtube channel   Read More ...
