Recently I got some complaints about my statement below about electric guitars: "As much as I love playing electric guitar, I’ve learned that a worship team doesn’t need it any more than they need a banjo. In fact the problems created by electric guitars usually outweigh any benefit. Use acoustic guitars instead. The sound is much more conducive to worship and you are much less likely to have a “cowboy” showman on the team." Actually electric guitar can be great on a worship team if the person playing it: can play it without being a fretboard bumblebee (always busy) knows how to play it to accompany the team instead of driving the team. knows how to blend in with the other musicians. If you shake your jowls while playing semi hard riffs on electric guitar you can look pretty cool. If you do the same on an acoustic guitar you don't look so cool do ya:-)) Those wide strokin strums don't look as impressive    on an acoustic guitar as they do on a Les Paul do they. You can play a lot faster, bend those strings easier, and show more of your stuff on that electric axe than you could with an acoustic guitar eh? Might you lose a little of the spotlight if you had to demote yourself to playing an acoustic? Nice thing about an acoustic? You're not so likely to do a "Hey Yall watch this" and make a complete fool out of yourself. There's just something about an electric guitar. You can be a legend in your own mind, even if you can't play it. Everyone can tell it if you think you're a legend in your own mind. No I'm not against electric guitars on the worship team. But if you're going to use the electric guitar on the worship team to live out your boyhood fantasy of being a rock star.....?
