Paul Baloche Worship Videos

If you found the Playing in a band video helpful, Paul Baloche has a whole series of videos for worship pastors.

Here's another really good one:


Week 7 and 8 tonight



Week 7 – Styles of music, what makes different styles distinct, assignment take simple song and learn to play it three different ways, 2 more songs. How extra chords influence styles.
 
Week 8 – Playing in a band, what different instruments do when you play in a band, taking turns, sounding equally mixed, successful arrangement of songs, gigging, assignment get together in small groups, and put together a three piece band to work on one of the previously covered songs. 
 Here's a really cool video of a worship leader teaching how playing in a band works, especially in a worship setting. Enjoy!

Tonight we're going to be practicing our songs, watching a cool video about musical styles and learning how to play some lead licks.

Hey Everyone,

Sorry about last week, I didn't have a functioning computer, but today I am able to finally give you some videos about picking patterns. Also included is the song that Liam figured out.

fall is here, hear the yell 
0
back to school, ring the bell 
5
brand new shoes, walking blues 
0
climb the fence, books and pens 
7               5                0   
i can tell that we are gonna be friends 

walk with me, suzy lee
through the park, and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
And look at all the bugs we've found
then safely walk to school without a sound 

well here we are, no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
We clean up and now it's time to learn 

numbers. letters, learn to spell
noun, and books, and show and tell
at playtime we will throw the ball
back to class, through the hall
teacher marks our height against the wall
 
5                             0  
and we don't notice any time pass
5                      0 
we don't notice anything
7 
we sit side by side in every class
5 
teacher thinks that i sound funny
7 
but she likes the way you sing 

tonight i'll dream while i'm in bed
when silly songs go through my head
about the bugs and alphabet
and when i wake tomorrow i'll bet 
that you and i will walk together again           
(cause i can tell that we are going to be friends)
