“You have to have a patient spouse if you want to be an electric guitarist.” Haha so true.
I have no problem with my hubby being patient. Why? He's the drummer on our praise team.
" Playing around the Floating tones " awesome tip. Much appreciated
Woah his first gain stage is like my 3rd lol
Thank you for the encouraging information and for your heart to worship the Lord. I am encouraged to continue worship in my church!!!
Great tips! Love how good tones can still come from ‘old’ pedals.
Oh man, when you talked about noodling and pentatonics as the default, it's so true. I wanna be better at active listening and crafting a part that has something to say
So much value in this course😢. Thank you so much guys for sharing your knowledge with us.❤
Ben: "Here's my plain, clean tone." Uuuuh, sounds amazing! That Deusy through the Orange is incredible... but that's the kind of sound I'm shooting for.
What kind of amp does he have
Agreed. His clean tone is what many people have huge rigs to accomplish. I'm honestly really really impressed!
Have ME-80. Many sounds and library. Translating your stuff and experimenting with tones without blowing the old folks away in our church. Researching all this and singing lead. It's tough but rewarding.
Boss ME-80 ftw! Multi effects is the way to go if you’re singing, I think. Way too much work to river dance your way through an effects chain while also trying to sing and play the right parts
Thanks. Good to hear great advice from a respected worshipper and axe wielder.
Thank you sir for doing this!
THANK YOU!!! God continue blessing you.
That was one of the most practical, useful videos I've watched on this subject!
So much good advice packed into a short video! Wish I'd seen this 15 years ago... Thanks and blessings!!!
These videos are amazing
Great stuff Ben! Touching up on some skill sets, and this was great! your tone is incredible!
This was very helpful. I've played acoustic guitar and drums and being asked to bring my electric and start doing these little nuance parts as well as sometimes strengthening the rhythm. This will help my comfort level as I don't want to be over the top or so sneaky quiet it's nothing. Musicians complementing the whole is where it's at. Thank you! Loved this!
So good sounding guitarist,gby
Ben Gowell is a great guy, and great guitarist! Used to run into him when he lived in the Minneapolis area. God bless Ben and his family!
Good information.
Thank you.👍
Great video! I think a lot of praise and worship guitarists feel pressure to have huge pedal boards with the latest and greatest effects in order to validate their ability to lead worship. This board is simple and effective with a great selection of pedals that aren’t too out of reach for most guitarists out there. Also, that Orange and Duesy combo is 🔥🔥🔥. Don’t see too many Orange amps out there these days but dang does that sound good!!!
Blue herdim picks 😎 good choice Ben
Thank you
Thanks this means a lot ..
Good vedio ,good info here
Your clean sound are amazing.. Awesome.
Can you share your preset setting on your DD20??
And what your boss ge7 purposes?? Thanks man
👍👍👍
👍👍
What a cool guitar is that starplayer
I'm a bit spoiled I guess. I have an Iso-cab in our rack room, with a Fender 60W SuperSonic set at 4. At home that would shake the windows but in the cab, you can't hear two feet away. Di under the stage out to my board and then to house, so pretty cool way to go.
What do you think of the Spark and Spark Mini digital amps made by Positive Grid, which has the sounds online and you can program 4 of them at a time into your amp? Positive Grid also has a wireless foot 4 button pedal.
To get the sounds we use in contemporary worship, I use an old Line6 XT Pro, works great. Once you have your patches built and saved, it's a lot less work. and a lot less things to go wrong in a live setting. About $150 on Reverb. Line6 has newer, fancier stuff, but I don't think anyone in the congregation could tell the difference. For my recreational playing, I have a few T.C. Electronics pedals and some boutique-ish pedals that I love.
How do you feel about Boss Pedals
what cab your'e going into?
Can you share your delay preset?
Anyone know what his first gain stage pedal was? It sounded so sweet!!
analogman king of tone
Yep, extremely expensive & a long waiting list to get one
I find it very interesting that he’s actually using an amp instead of going direct. Just about every church I’ve seen these days (in my experience) wants everyone go direct. I did this several years and I got extremely frustrated with my tone being awful coming out of the PA. At some point it dawned on me that a person who didn’t even play the instrument was dictating what gear I had to use and I just wasn’t willing to do that anymore. While I understand the “why” behind having no amps on stage I just got to the point where it simply didn’t make sense to me to do that. I’m not currently playing in a church mainly because I simply don’t want to deal with that whole scenario. Playing in church is the only situation I’ve ever encountered (I’ve been playing for many decades) where the tech team dictates the gear musicians have to use. I really enjoyed my time on worship teams since playing music (whether in or out of church) is deeply spiritual for me and I love sharing the joy of music with anyone who’s interested.
So true brother.. you’ve just captured so eloquently my frustration with my church sound-PA police who dictates how to amplify the sound… many of these clowns have not picked up an instrument and played on stage nor appreciate true sound quality. They want the stage to look clean, but don’t care for the sound quality.
2 things-
1. This vid is 4 years old. Amp modeling has come light years in that time. Even modern professional bands go ampless because the tech is getting so good. (Search for “Bush rig rundown” for an example.)
2. You need to check your heart. Are you there to perform to your own glory or to serve God’s people to His glory? Another piece of wisdom from Paul Baloche is that he says, “leading worship is like being a server at a restaurant, it’s not your turn to eat.” Being on stage at church is a time to sacrifice your own preferences to do what’s best for the community and for the team.
I CAN'T deal with in ears unless Absolutely necessary, I've spent 50 years learning to use my ears in a room, so when my church went in-ears that was a big part in me leaving,
Good sound ! What's the last disto pedal ?
looks like a King of Tone
and Zvex Box of Rocks (silver one)
The 2nd stage is a T Rex Möller. Underrated pedal to be sure.
KOT!
What kind of amp does he have
Looks like an Orange Rockverb head. Not sure which exact model.
Thanks for sharing... What’s your delay?
The delay is a Boss DD-20 Giga Delay
Giga delay i guess
Thanks!
Couldn’t make out the volume pedal being used, can anyone let me know pls?
It looks like a ernie ball vp junior to me, its on the far right at 0:19! Hope that helps :)
@@tomc9302 Thanks, watched a few times but still couldn't make it out ☺
@@gawentaylor6838 no problem, are you looking to get a volume pedal, cos there are some solid offerings from Jim Dunlop, the volume x and mini volume x. Also the boss stuff is good, I've never tried the vp junior but I've heard it's good, but also I hear the string breaks a lot!
Tom C Yes I am, reading reviews on volume pedals with a view to getting one but in no rush. Thank you for the tips.
@@gawentaylor6838 No problem, I hope you find one that suits you!!
was used as a frequency sweep? Isn't that just a flanger effect?
No. Watch That Pedal Show to get some technical explanations. Or check out Strymon Deco videos for reference on how flange came out of tape recording techniques
what orange amp is that?!
Orange AD30
Late to the comments. But the strangest thing happened to me recently. More like a testimony, that i want to fly with. I was having covid at the time. I was doing alot of praying at home and than when i was admitted to the hospital. But there were items i prayed for that i forgot. Anyways after i left the hospital ( praise and thanks to gods over loving heart and healing ) some new force was coursing through me. And i knew it and know it now. But i couldnt explain it. I knew it was a seed god planted. At first i just thought oh ok ty god for making me feel vibrant and alive after the hospital. Bht no. God had something in store for me a gift, a drive, a catalyst i would have never have thought. See ive always wanted to play guitar in the past before i became a christian. But it was for self entertainment. I tried it a few times and like anything else in my life i just hung it up. Well i have a old amp i bought brand new 11 years ago. I thought i needed it and its been collecting dust for 11 years. Well i went to the local guitar store cause for some reason i was compelled to wanting to play again. I didnt question it so i was looking at guitar cords ( i have a super cheap guitar. Itd not very nice. But its something ) so looking at pics, new strings. The saleman came up asked if i needed help i said oh im just wanting to get back into playing. Im not very good. I just have this overwhelming urge to play. He said u mentioned u already have an amp. I said yes. He said do u mind of i ask what kind. I said no not at all.
I told him i have a crate retrofex RFX30. Hes like really letcme google that. So he did. Hes like wow thats a nice amp. Is it in nice condition. I said well 11 years ago i bought it, used it a few times for fun. Than just stored it. So its basically in mint condition. I said to him ive always want to learn to play. But i cant read music. And i just stop playing and never pursued. He had a very calming nature and replied, oh its not as hard as you think. And even just learning basics like chords and breaking them down is fum and enjoyable itself. Some force pushed me right than and had me tell me would he like to play my amp. Because i would like to hear a professional use my amp and maybe show me how to properly use it. His eyes lit up and said really? Sure id be delighted. So i went home got my amp disinfected it. Cleaned it up. Went back to the store. Hes like oh my goodness it id perfect. He did say before he started u have a very nice amp here. Its not a practice amp its more of a gig amp. Im like ok ty i didnt know. It was on super sale brand new so i bought it knowing nothing about it.
He started playing and i felt like i was at a mini concert it was so fun. Plus my amp has a buult in auto tuner and a voice knob. He was having a ball. So afterwards. I felt inspired. Went home told the wife. Shes like oh cool. But heres where that seed starting blossoming like instantly. God knew something i wouldnt have a clue. See ive been dealing with 3 addictions in my life. And after praying super hard god has helped me release these chains. And i thank him so much. 1 was alcohol, the other chewing. And most resent video games. God was talking to me yesterday this is how recent this happened. God said i know u think your games are harmless but youve been wasting your time with them for 20 years. 20 years!!! Im like wow ive been lost all that time thinking it was harmless cause it wasnt drugs. But the lord was right i was getting nothing in returm from video games. Except for a escape from life. Than the lord flat out said i could never talk to you my son because your wall of games engulfed your life so much you wouldnt listen to me or even look my way
I was like oh my goodness gods right. I just wasted my life with silly games that were super fun to play. But at what expense. I was having problems with my relationship with my kids, and my wife. And now i finally realize its the games. I went straight to prayer, apologized to the lord, and thanked him for releasing me from my persomal prison. I also told my wife and she practically started crying. But tears of rejoice. And here is where my new chapter/journey/spiritual adventure is about to start. And to be honest ive been awoken, i have a new internal fire and i can feel it. Im excited like ive never been for the hungry for the lord to feed me again. But he told me flat out told me. I have a mission that i think youre really going to enjoy. Remember when u want to play guitar a long time ago. But just hung it up. Well your new journey i give you. Is i want u to pursue guitar. And eventually through practice, hardwork, and enjoying your new gift. To take your new talent down the road once you have honed your craft and play to the masses that need it. All the while soothing your soul in the process as well
My jaw just dropped and im like wow my clouded video mind would have never have thought that. And that my christian brothers and sister is the awesome power of god. Im a roaring fire now and i cant wait to start my guitar venture. Because god will be with me and thats my inspiration to head full speed ahead. I am so excited!!
The reason why im telling thos page this. Is well im rejoicing. But i did a random search for playing guitar in a christian band. And this video popped up. After listening to the pedals and your personal talent i almost cried. I said wow. Its attainable. I know im not going to be a over night sensation. Its going to take prayer, dedication patience if i get frustrating. But to have god at the helm. All i gotta do is pray lord im having troubles. And since basically going to be a holy guitar warrior for gods kingdom. Ill never have to worry about faultering. Cause the awesome Lord Jesus Christ is in my ring. Im so excited and cant wait to stary my new chapter in life.
I’ve been refusing to go with filtertrons for years because nothing says white suburban worship like filtertrons and delays. I may bend to them one day
Ha! I'm playing my White Falcon with the TV Jones in the AM. I play it at church a hand full of times a year. I have the blue sparkle Duesenberg Starpayer he's play and it's an excellent guitar for worship. I've started playing my Novo Serus J recently and it's killer as well with Lollar Mini HBs. So many guitars to enjoy!
You didnt talk about reverb
Kind of tired of the the U2 sounds. But obviously lots of people are hooked on it.
thats the money making sounds😎
"Unless we were doing something that's really heavy like uhh you know a hillsong united tune"
Haha .. .right?!
HAHA
I thought the same thing at first but not gonna lie, I added a good bit of distortion to the high point of a softer song and it honestly added a great level of intensity that might not be on the original record. Just my thought
I’m pretty sure this was filmed at least 10 years ago.
Stairways denied.
leave the whammy bar alone!
Same thing.....different day......🙄
If you are implying this is an old video with obvious tips and tricks for guitarists in worship.....you're right but what if....what IF there might some newbies who have a heart for worship but have never seen this vid....He isn't Paul's guitarist anymore obviously but still helpful no matter what. Build up the body brother.....
Music is just the same thing ( same chord progressions ect)...It how you express it. Great Demo by this Pro-guitarist :)
