A good musician doesn't need to hold back in fact you just mentioned the problem. No one should have to be holding back that's not worship it's bondage. I guess its hard when you haven't played in a band. Everyone's goal is to sound good together. People have different ideas about the Holy Spirit but I have felt myself directed by the Spirit what I should play and it was the perfect amount. Who is going to count the notes and when is it one note over. It's like picking a color to paint a wall it is subjective. Thank you for you reply and God Bless You.

When everyone "overplayed", the energy in the room quadrupled. That's the kind of energy we NEED in church.

Just my opinion.. but it's an opinion I hold pretty strongly. Stop being timid! We have great instrumentalists in church; play out and praise Him!

@rickschneider3887 9 ай бұрын

As a worship player myself I think the message needing to be told here is learn when to let loose and when to hold back. If you’re always holding back your music can get too monotonous and drab. The scriptures say in Psalms “ play Skillfully with a loud noise…” which tells me there should be times for the musicians to cut loose and worship The Lord by skillful playing. The key here is listening to what the song is doing dynamically in each part and adjust your playing accordingly. This approach should apply to all the instruments including the keyboard because sometimes the keys can get too busy as well IMO. The goal should be to flow together as one unit (orchestra) rather than individual players doing their own thing. The anointing can move no matter what the music is doing but when the music inspires the listener to worship along with them then that’s the whole goal. The goal is for the congregation to join in with the worship team in songs of praise to Jesus Christ as one body!!

@@jeremianderson4861 the irony is that exact type of overplaying is what makes gospel so powerful for people. It’s people playing their heart out, all of their skill, for god. I played in a band that was similar to this for the better part of a decade, and while it wasn’t a problem for a long while because I wasn’t good enough, it was very tiresome in time due to how restrictive it felt. I wasn’t allowed to enjoy my music that was for god, which in my opinion kind of defeats the purpose. It felt disingenuous to me. Not all bands can overplay, and for the average church the principle of avoiding overplaying is great because the skill level simply isn’t there, but for these guys it makes no sense at all as to why they would limit themselves to playing less fun music, because both gospel and contemporary Christian music are worship.

@jeremianderson4861 2 жыл бұрын

@@solkvist8668 I totally get you in that. I've personally been in several types of bands (concert, orchestra, jazz, woodwind choir and marching band) including a marching in which our Clarinet section alone is bigger than the church choir/band combined. With that being said, there is a difference between overplaying and improvising. Improvisation is unwritten music that is played that fits within the style that is being played while keeping balance of being an accompaniment. Overplaying is also unwritten but it is played without being mindful of keeping balance as an accompaniment.

Except for the fact that when they "overplayed", it felt like the music had a soul, and was truly worshipful. When played "proper", it sounds stifled and corporate, like it was taken straight off the production line of a soulless machine. There's absolutely something to be said for knowing your limits, and fitting together as a coherent group, and yeah, not playing complicated parts for the sake of showing off, but stopping your musicians from "playing skillfully, with a shout of joy" (Psalm 33:3), and forcing them to confine to simple, brutally accessible, and overused parts is why modern Christian pop is so lifeless and soulless. As people have pointed out, that was the time that the musicians looked alive, looked like they loved playing. The energy in room quadrupled.

One very important thing to take note here is that this worship team has been playing together for ages! Even when they overplay, they overplay in a way that still fits one another; this comes down to familiarity, habit and trust built in an experienced team.

If you're referring "no, experienced musicians can actually play like this", I'll agree as well, but not completely. While it's true that experienced musicians can complement one another in spontaneous scenarios, it wouldn't happen all the time, especially when the main focus is God, not man. Don Moen himself states in the video that the musicians are all "dialing in for what works for Don Moen (that being Don Moen's style of worship music)". But of course, if it's a performance or concert, definitely musicians can come together with no context and still blow the crowd away. Key thing about this is "it's all about God, not you".

@@nguquaxanguyen5224 Familiarity is important because the main point of the worship band is to direct the congregation in reverence to God through music. If the band is not familiar with the setting of worship in that particular church, it'll become a contest of technicality. Sometimes, a single chord held by the synth for a minute does much more than anything else. All the other musicians could add many notes into that single chord to make it sound more extravagant, but they would understand (as a band) the fine line between a "concert" and "worship". And, because God is the main focus, a musicians' skills is not the priority. Anyone with a willing heart is more important than anyone wielding the skills. This might sound contradictory but I have experienced first hand a worship leader who can't even hold a note nor sing in the right key, but the congregation was in the spirit of worship nonetheless.

@@justinng4970 Listening and having the reflex and discipline to respond appropriately is a fundamental musicianship skill. In a professional setting, not being alert to what other musicians and most importantly vocalists are doing is a good way to get fired. I give you example, I was hired for a church service as a sub. One of the musician (synth player) plays a minor 9 chord, which by itself is very beautiful chord, the problem is the singer was singing the minor 3 in the chord, which is only half step away from that, causing her to start to sing flat without knowing why. The pianist and I immediately identified the problem and helped that player correct course. The mutual and almost immediate understanding between me and that pianist player didn't come from familiarity. We met that morning. It came from our musicianship. Alot of people have the wrong impression that musicianship skill is ability to play lots of notes, exotic chords, etc. Not true. These guys in the video are professional musicians so they listen to each other down to the individual note, which subdivision of the beat each player and vocalist are emphasizing in order to either avoid or complement rather than clash. I bet they were doing that the first time they played with each other

My wife and I started going to a church and the worship there was really good excellent vocals and very competent musicians. Being a piano player myself with many years experience I was soon playing with them. The team talked a lot about being careful not to be a show off and to be humble in your playing. The team being very talented was actually very young. My playing was a little more free that they're I play and allow the Holy Spirit to lead me as often as I can., So, I played my way and before long I was getting a lot of compliments from the congregation and then it was as if when they saw that I didn't cause a problem they began to venture out remember I said they were very talented. A couple of months latter the pastor came to me and the worship leader and he actually said. "Thank God He Sent Robby here because you have all come out of your shell and are sounding a lot more full and worshipful. Every situation is different but there is a lot of false humility our there and legalistic attitudes out there. Often in the New Testament especially they are warning about falling back into that legalsitic atmosphere. Personally l say let the Spirit of God lead the way and deal with specific problems as they arise. Overly strict rules for the team stifle creativity and talent.

It's long past time to pray about this, friend. God bless.

The other Cody up there put it perfectly referring to the "joyful noise," which as the leader of a worship team are the exact words I tell the rest of the band every Sunday between praying and starting the service. You write beautiful melodies (Arise is one of my favorites), and as long as that is still present and defined, I believe that embellishing with other musical elements is beneficial, as the excitement of the worship team is infectious and engaging to the congregation.

More than that, I also feel that more than just music, offering our best praise also means being able to lead the congregation better as a team. Meaning, if we as a team can be more accommodating for the congregation to sing their praises to God, then we are offering our worship in that way as well. Our discipline to hold back our skills whenever necessary is can also be an act of praise. Just my 2 cents, God bless and have a good day :)

The problem (or should I say good thing?) is that these musicians are so talented, skillful, good and disciplined that the "overplay" they demonstrated is not the real "overplay" we so often see or hear. They were still showing restraint during the overplay. That's the reason some of you say you like it.

Yep, that's the hard thing about using tasteful musicians as the example. Their overplaying was actually pretty great. I know what Don is talking about, the people who solo over every phrase and don't play to the song. If anything, in general, most musicians I've played with tend to just play ALL THE TIME with no dynamics in worship. It takes a while to develop taste and technique. I'm not going to go as far as saying to sit someone out of a band like he recommends, but it does take time to develop a band that worships and plays well together. It's definitely not easy.

The big problem here is "If everybody did that it would be really messy." Learn from jazz and realize it can be done perfectly if you take turns. There's tons of jazz music with simple base melodies but they blossom into such great works, and each player makes it in their own way. Feeling God, worshipping God should be an individualized experience, and when each musician shares their own they'll connect to people in the audience and take turns giving people an amazing feeling. That to me is a much better idea than playing it safe and restricting everyone to the same constant level of enjoyment. Music shouldn't be a hum - it should be a zoop and a blam pizazz. The very tasteful and restrained improv some of these guys did is enough... just give us *something* other than what plays on the radio on repeat. The staleness of it all really pushes people away!

No - Don needs to permit someone else who can sing with intensity and enthusiasm to take his seat so that great musicians can also play with feeling and excitement. He can stick with song-writing.

Dang... that bassist definitely added a whole new feel to the song when it was his time to overplay. My head was moving to it but yeah, you have compliment each other in the band.

but if you guys play and complinent to each other and how they play It can realy benefit worship. It says play out and sing for the Lord. If you know what Im trying to say

I think it's "complement" each other lol. Don compliments them for their playing but they all complement each other musically. 😉

My Number one song by Don Moen is I just want to be where you are, unfortunately my wife doesn't like me singing it, she is afraid the lord might call me to be with Him..... I now know why Don Moen's praise and worship stands out never bores can keep replaying over and over... Great composition, His music arrangements is flawless, disciplined band that never over plays....
