it was a great video🙌 I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, I was wondering if I can help you create better distribution through your videos?

I feel like in some bands I’ve played with in the past, the keys player drowns out the bass. Any advice on this?

Why on earth would this be of any consequence

😢😢why?

This is so helpful Thank you!

This. Was. Excellent. You sounded like a real deal minister too. Thank You man.

Should have given us longer of your playing, sounded good, Sir.

Great information! You mentioned several times that this is intended to be used in conjunction with a drum set. However, we don't have a drum set and only use percussion. (Right now, it's just a cajon with a mic inside, but we are considering adding some elements.) Do you have a guide or some tips for folks who don't have drums and are using percussion exclusively?

Awesome set up! Thanks for sharing Alex 👊

I must admit, I read his post and I’m in that category of vocalists. I’ve always struggled with why I’m not given lead parts while others are. Occasionally some places have let me lead while most of the time I’ve been told “you’re not quite ready to be a lead vocalist” but I have always aspired to be a worship leader. So let me just ask, what defines if one is ready to lead songs and how does one go about getting there? I feel like that’s something that’s never been clearly communicated to me.

Watch the road you moron.

I dislike having to admit that but, yeah, I think so as well. Do you have anything on writing music? What are your thoughts regarding each congregation writting their own music according to what each church is going through?

Which songs where you thinking about?

I love scripture songs!

Check out the 70's❤

Great stuff man!

Hey Alex! What lapel/mic setup do you have? I know there are many options out there, so just asking what you've landed on :)

Very good 🎉

Love this, Alex! I'm planning to "level up" the referrals / checking with other leaders & senior pastor as to holistic health. Excited to see the percussion setup - I have found that "cajon" is a semi-entry level position, but I'm thinking drum pad should come soon. I've just been as minimally tech savvy to cue that up, but here's to 2025...! Love the interest night & more "non-threatening activities". Does the church have a ministry interest night, or did you set that up solo?

Perfect ( ͡°❥ ͡°)

I'm in a fairly new church plant. I started helping with leading worship about 3 years ago. I lead about 2 Sunday's per month. It's just me on my guitar. Most times when I lead, no one sings along, claps, or does does anything at all. It really discourages me and makes me wonder if the Lord has really called me to it. I'm open to any advice the Lord would lead you to give me. I appreciate your ministry and miss seeing you at South Bay.

In CCM, as far as bass goes... stay low and in the pocket. Only time you really need to run up the fretboard is if you are doing a fill that you need to cut through the mix. People try to make bass a complicated thing. Lock up with the drummer on 1 and 3... don't over play.

Support the groove and hold it together 😎!

After 20 years in the corporate world, and 12 years as a volunteer vocalist, I'm feeling a call to full time worship ministry. What is the basic foundation that needs to be laid to allow me to launch into full time ministry?

What are your thoughts on signaling during the songs? Do you use vocal cues, hand signs, something different?

Bro! I had no idea how good your voice was! You are the full package!

E is the root note. Therefore It’s in the key of E. At the end of the day though if everyone is playing the right chords at the right time, does it really matter what key it’s in?

Excellent video! Showing off those pipes 💪🏼

It's a post that's part of the latest episode (developing a ministry strategy)

Where can i listen to this podcast?

Great video Alex! Super helpful stuff! Watched this and did the exercise with one of my other worship leaders! Thanks for this idea!

Hi, how do I know download chordpro on my windows system?

Love your approach to this Alex, especially the discernment to wait it out and not be hasty!

Hi Alex - really appreciate your candid thoughts here - sounds like a long season that needed a lot of patience/discernment and I am not surprised by your comment that the 'transformation' through that was worth it. Could you share more about your fasting process? Help a brother out in similar circumstances!

Thank you for sharing brother. It’s encouraging to know that quitting isn’t necessarily a negative thing but like your case a God thing.

Fantastic, Alex! Praise God for you!

thank you Alex for your transparency and I see how God has blessed your obedience while patiently waiting on the Lord!

As a long time volunteer on a variety of worship teams, I have found myself being abandoned by my current church’s Worship Team Leadership.. It feels like I have aged out of my usefulness and am not able to keep up. It has made me want to make a change to a place where my modest skills could be useful. The problem is that my wife is a women’s small group leader and heads up the prayer team. She has told me that she has no desire to leave our church. This has really put me in a hard place.

I like how you said you should be running to your next church and not leaving God. There's been some people where God removes them. His purpose is more important for us than a church. God would not be a fan of institutions. People eventually in the last days inadvertently take on doctrins of devils. Staying for a whole 2 years was well enough time to figure that out. Kuddos to you sir. May God bless you and keep you

Thank you precious bass player brother. I appreciate the tips 🙏

Starting with 14 people is not “from scratch” lol

I so appreciate the thoughtfulness behind your decision! Proud to call you friend, Alex 👊

Alex, thanks for sharing all this... super helpful, thoughtful, and applicable. I'm not a full-time worship leader, but have definitely pondered it over the years. Some of what you shared is why I have been hesitant to pursue it, so great to hear your perspective/experience on working through this topic.

Outstanding video, Alex. I appreciate how you navigate your situation contextually, but help others to see the general application. Thanks for leading the way.

Thanks for sharing your experience Alex, a lot of wisdom in this one.

Really have to listen to the entire video to get over the eyebrow raising points and hear the balance. Finishing with a 9.5/10.

i want you

I am a beginner and I love to play the bass do you have any tips or anything that I can Lori

Thank you sir for this video.

way to much talking and not enough playing
