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.

@Mus34679 16 күн бұрын

@@MrVbobbyIt’s a really interesting point. I think it largely depends on the situation and the type of music. This setting reminds me of a Nashville studio session where everyone is seriously underplaying and listening and there is a mixer to bring through certain parts of different instruments and tone down or even cut out other parts that aren’t necessary. If you have that, than yes I would agree you don’t need to worry as much about overplaying. But if you’re in a Baptist church for instance playing a praise break, then in that case it might be a different story. But even then it’s still very possible to play too much. And yes, “too much” is subjective, absolutely. It’s all about using your best judgement and trying to blend as much as possible; picking your holes and spaces, and learning every time you make music. These guys seem to have lots of experience and sensitivity which to me makes them more reliable than amateur musicians who just started playing. Although you never know. Cheers.

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. But take this to a new worship team or a new comer who overplays without any context, that is when things get messy and too much.

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

@@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.

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.

Yes, everyone doing it at the same time is too much, but no-one doing it feels like... nothing.

The problem is that in his examples, one person overplays and it seems like a "solo spot". When *everyone* in the band overplays at the same time, it becomes chaos and a distraction to the music (and worshipping God). That's the point Don's trying to make. Building up and coordinating musicality would be encouraged! It's just a lesson in restraint and intent, as others have said.

@jamescooley8312 4 жыл бұрын

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!

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.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with a jam session. One of the blessings of playing any musical instrument is that you will eventually get to a level where you can go off script and express your own musical style. As worship leaders, though, it's all about leading people deeper into the presence of God. It's the job of the band to take the focus off of themselves and direct all the focus to God. Sometimes, less is more.

@@DonMoenTV Don, have you seen Adam Neely's video regarding Christian contemporary music, and his approximation of such "overplaying" as akin to Bibically making a joyful noise? I saw joy in the performance of "what not to do", and as a former praise band director of 3 years AND someone who runs an analog "secular" studio, I find that this stifling of energy is precisely what makes many fear a relationship with our God. Any insecurity a member of the congregation feels in the presence of skillful performance should be addressed with encouragement of the crowd, not discouragement of the joyous musician. It's long past time to pray about this, friend. God bless.

@DonMoenTV While I completely agree with serving the song as well as making sure the mindset that it is not all about the musician, I offer a different perspective: the notes that I play are my most pure form of praise and glorification to God. 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.

I think we would have to decide on what is our best praise and our best music as a team. 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 :)

In our praise and worship, even though everyone in the music team are already good, we try to "limit" our "professionality" or skills by not getting busy (just like what Don Moen said in the video) so that the congregation will not get distracted to the point that they are already focusing at us (worship team) playing and they are not focusing to God.

The level of overplaying demonstrated in this video was utterly ridiculous, that isn't what would happen if he took the cuffs off.

like the drummer very much. His playing is great, the Gretsch sounds beautiful, his overplaying is fantastic on point and his smile is deeply moving.

Commenting to mark the start of the bass player over playing at 5:02 so I can easily jump to it later 😅. My favourite part comes in 5:45. That bass guitar player is so disciplined that his overplaying is just right 😅

Amen- Bro. Don. May the lyrics serve God’s Word and His Spirit, the music serve the lyrics, and the instrumentalists serve the music. Your team has incredible technique, and most importantly servants’ hearts. There are certainly times to intensify as God’s Spirit leads, but also times to lay back or even lay out.
