We have a very limited worship team, two guitars an occasionally a violin and bass guitar. As leader, I use the tactic of playing an intro using the chords of the verse. I start and the others join in.
It’s an absolute must. Without it, musicians just fight to stay together. Getting off time becomes very messy and muddy. Time is the most important thing, and also allows people to be more creative.
We started using them in ’08 and, after the initial break in period for the team, it revolutionized our music. We use Ableton Live through an in-ear system, controlled through a midi footswitch. Works great
My keyboardist uses a Roland keyboard and creates many of the the tracks including the drum tracks for the songs we play. Using these tracks or any track has its own challenges and benefits. The track will play with or without you. But it is a constant reference and becomes the focal timing tool.
