CHARACTERISTICS OF A “TIGHT” WORSHIP BAND

• Entire band “in the groove” – breaks simple and clean, transitions smooth, flowing and comfortable.
• All players familiar with various rhythms and meters, styles and keys.
• Drummer and bass player consistent in the punches, kicks, accents – solidifying the tightness of the group. Drums control flow.
• Lead instrument establishing melodic and harmonic progression. Lead instrument controls mood.
• Secondary instruments (all others) adding harmonic and rhythmic color and fullness to the work of the lead instrument.
• All players able to read chord/rhythm charts, improvise and solo. This keeps the band fresh, flexible and innovative.
• Each team member having a good ear and good timing, keeping the band solid, tasteful, energetic and creative.
• The more players involved, the less each musician plays.
• All team members listening, watching and aware of any signals from the worship leader.
• All team members spiritually sensitive and God-conscious, knowing what the anointing is, and flowing with the mood of the Holy Spirit.
