Bryan Diaz It means that they are not ready to play yet. They should learn how to play their instruments better. Simple.

Hey John! So glad to hear, God bless!

Thank you so much Sir. I can't believe you're replying to me... Tqqqq.... 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Thanks for watching, Clark! God bless!

Thanks Tope! God bless!

i feel you brother

I support a band with setting sound, they have a new member and the leader has to stop him from overplaying. He wanted to play on his electric guitar, like a Folk Singer/Songwriter does and the leader told him to change it to something simple, to play muted only 2 string power chords (with no 3rd) and arpegios instead strumming. One problem with overplaying is, there is no way to increase. When the drummer plays always the snare normal plus hi hat, how can he increase? What about to do in verse one bass drum and hi hat only, in verse 2 adding sidestick on the four, chorus with normal snare, verse 3 with sidestick on two and four, bridge hi hat plus offbeat bass drum and the last chorus with cymbal?

@Shaun Ashley You do a big mistake.

Allen Ballesteros yes... they are overplaying with EDM music just attracting young people to have fun... thats not even praising and worshipping God.

YES YES YES.... they are doing the SHOW OFF JAM....

I don't think so tbh. I'm personally not a fan of their style, but their worship is true. They've created this culture where there's room for musical creativity, without ever compromising on the heart! So if someone's heart is to just show-off, they wouldn't be getting the platform obviously.

alexis pompey How can you know a good player if he doesn't overplay? Really? The ability to restrain oneself from overplaying is one good attribute of a good player.

Guys...let me say something as you said @bassman686 you don't want the worship to be focus on the musicians and the true aspect of you being there which is worship,BUT in this world everyone wants quality...how would you know and see quality if everyone one plays the same thing? There wouldn't be anything special about you which means you would want the ability to got out and bless others with your ministry because you play and sound different from the others,that's because you do special stuff while playing and don't forget the musicians mostly create an atmosphere of worship when they play! The bible also talks about playing skillfully for the lord!(not saying turn the worship into a solo concert) but play do things to make the worship sound and feel better if it means calling for a few extra chords or notes...

alexis pompey We aren't saying fancy licks are bad. We are saying lots of musicians don't play accordingly and overplay. They play unorganized. They don't know how to accommodate their playing to a song. They don't pay attention to the verse, chorus, bridge, etc as each section has different intensity (dynamics). They play whatever and throw in fancy licks. A band with humble hearts that are filled with passion to exalt the Most High is the best quality, in the spiritual aspect. Other than that, playing professionally also brings quality in the musical aspect, as you were talking about "quality". Playing differently by doing special stuff isn't what ministers people. Unless if that "special stuff" is not overplaying and is accommodating to the song and follows the dynamics, then it will. Playing professionally means to not throw any fancy licks just because you think it sounds good and/or because it will bring quality and uniqueness. If you want to be unprofessional and stay at that level forever, go ahead and keep doing what you are doing. But if you want to play professionally, and like you said, play songs differently than the rest, first learn to play TO THE SONG. This is what every professional band does. Even secular bands. In every genre. Don's style of playing doesn't involve too much fancy licks but it can happen. Other genres like gospel music, have more things going on. That's totally fine because it goes with the genre and it's not overplaying. Even then gospel music has its dynamics. First, copy the professional bands. Try to play exactly like they do. Note for note. As you do, you will learn why they do that. Why sometimes less is more. Once you learn more about the feel in music, you can change the song, like the structure, add different sounds, maybe rearrange melodies etc, but you will do it professionally by not overplaying and playing to the song and by playing as a band. If you really want to play uniquely and be different, first learn why the pro's play how they play and first try to imitate them by playing the songs exactly how they do. You will learn a lot. Maybe go to a music school, for professional lessons. Once you learn, then you can make and create your own music. Basically what I'm saying is if you are overplaying right now and want to play differently, don't. First learn to play professionally, then once you have experience and understand music really well at a high level, then you can change songs and create your own music. Blessings brother, I wish you the best in your ministry. 😉🙌🏻

OVERPLAYING does not mean he/she is a good player.
