I play both ways at church. Some songs need the lighter touch and some need a little OD for the push. Only occasionally do I do any soloing and that's really for a build up in the song. And yes you have to keep the ego in check. A lot of church musicians need to work on dynamics. Nobody needs to play all the time. Sometimes the song just needs space to breath. A place for people to be able to hear others singing, or hear from God. Thanks for your great videos on both sides.

Oh, my brother Rusty. You set the bar today for every musician - not just guitarists - who has the desire to honor God with the talents He graciously gives. Be encouraged, my friend, and thanks again for producing and sharing another high quality lesson for us.🙏

Been playing in bands (rock, jazz, r&b) all my life (in and out of church). Understanding the context is always so important.

Started out !any years ago in Hollywood California as a rock / metal guitar player. Now I'm 58 and been playing contemporary praise and worship at Churches for about 5 years. I use clean channel with the strymon blue sky, I can't ever say how beautiful and beneficial the blue sky is. Serving God with my time and gifts brings so much joy! I enjoyed to ur video sir!

Great video Rusty and now a subscriber. 64 year old rocker here, heavily influenced by Pink Floyd. About 6 Years ago I put my trust in Jesus. I have been playing worship for almost 4 years and I love playing guitar more than I ever did playing original secular music. There was definitely a learning curve to find that balance between worship and my style. I am blessed to have a worship director that gives me that creative freedom. The David Gilmour influence comes through at times and it blends quite well.

You are so right. Too many rock guitarists try to show off their rock skills in church.

Anyone who watches this channel should get college credit. A lot of it! Thank you, Trusty Rusty.

Get that Big Sky going! God Bless!🙏❤️❤️🙏
Edit: Gorgeous Doozie BTW!
HAHA! I posted the original comment before I even knew you were going to use the Big Sky! Nailed it! That's the church guitarist's main pedal!

This was very helpful. You articulated how I have felt about playing guitar in church worship for quite a long time. More of Him and less of me. Blessings. thank you. 🙏

Thanks Rusty. I needed to hear your message today. We t back and watched it a second time. I needed to remember why I was on our praise team at church. It is not for us musicians but for the glory of God and offering praise to Jesus Christ. Please keep this one channel going and not only guitar instruction but messages from your heart to ours. God bless you. 6:08

As a rock guitarist for decades, the biggest struggle I had was adapting my style to the modern worship style. I found it boring but wanted to serve. At the root of it all I am still a rock guitarist and I play modern worship music to share my gifts so God is glorified but I have to take breaks from it because it’s work to play it. I would equate it to writing with my left hand.

Thanking God for you, my musical brother and praising God for Who He is!

We did a mix of both with the church I played at for 10 or so years. Usually once per week, we did a Third Day song that was turned up a little bit so we could let loose! The congregation loved it, and it was something our church was known for. The after-church jam sessions were some of the best. Wish I could go back to those days!

The biggest difference is playing in a major key with major triad versus minor. Minor is the home of rock

My first guitar teacher played in the church band. What's funny is he loved metal and hard rock. One Sunday morning he turned the gain up in his amp. You would have thought he came up and gave the congregation the middle finger. The worship leader was not happy. I thought it was awesome and sounded great. He wasn't louder than normal but his tone sounded big.

It took me a long time to develop my church style after so many years of rock.

Thanks, Rusty. Awesome talk. I would offer my slight disagreement on one point: I used to be quite reserved in both my singing and playing at church, being very careful to avoid the "showing off" spectacle. One day our minister pulled me aside and explained to me that it's my obligation to share the fullness of the gift that God blessed me with. That I should never hold back. It's not about what I'm capable of, but rather the capability that God has provided me. What's important is the heart - where the music is coming from. Let them see God's light thru me. Don't hide it. Obviously there's the time/place/appropriateness element, but the message was simple. When the time comes, let it fly. Do not hold back. However, even in light of this, I believe it is critical that whatever you decide to play elevates the message, not the sender.

Thanks Rusty! Another excellent video! Great tips on technique and sounds. The main thing I have learned since I started playing at church is that I don’t need to be playing all the time…. Appreciate your sharing. God bless!

I play so many different styles of music. About 15 years ago I started playing with my church. I had to tweak my guitar playing so that it was more worshipful. Bottom line it’s not about you. It’s about worshiping God using the talents. Great video.
