Great set-up, keep playin' for the Lord!!!!

I'll take these questions one at a time...
"So, what is the music flavor of your church?"
Actually, It is kind of a mix of black gospel, contemporary gospel and sopme songs that are older as well as those I flat out rock out on!
"Are you fitting your guitar into the Pentecostal-wanna-be-black- gospel genre or are you doing guitar led Praise & Worship."
Actually, I am not the lead instrument. But they DO look a lot to me to do different things such as strings, flutes, and different instruments as well as all the main guitar sounds.
"What about Country?"
If you are asking if we do country gospel songs....we do on occasion...but not all the time. However, the pastor I grew up under....Bro. Tom Clark in Jackson, Tennessee...was a lead singer for a southern gospel group. So I do know all of the old kingsmen, hinsons and southern gospel hits.
I grew up playing that style...but I did not get into distortion in my guitar or even lead playing with distortion, until I saw Nate Sabin play guitar at the Pentecostals of Alexandria in the late 1980's. That is when I basically had a playing style change. So I can do country, southern and even contemporary gospel with black gospel thrown in for my styles. As well as just do what I did the other daywhen they gave me a solo and I put in all kinds of stuff including hammer ons,string bends,etc.
"With a midi set-up do you also use keys driven strings/pads/horns or are you the only "production" musician?"
Actually I am the only musician they have that plays "outside" the box so to speak. We also have drums, organ, piano, a percussion section and a bass guitar and even a guy that plays a horn now and again.
But mostly, they basically play what their instruments allow them to play. With MIDI guitar....I can mimick a wide range of instruments and make it sound pretty realistic. It all goes accordiung to the song as to what sound I use, when I do MIDI guitar....some call for a string sectiuon...some a horn section...etc.
Please post your setup when you can....I always enjoy seeing fellow musicians setups! Keep on playing for the Lord!
