worship ep

2009-07-30T14:03:00.004-04:00

hey guys it was great to see everyone the other week. the church that i attend now in tampa has just recorded a 3 song cd and it is now available. one of the songs that we played while i was there is on it. if you go to www.weareelement.org you will find all of the info you need to get your hands on a copy. we are in the process of having to rent more space to have room for all of the kids that are coming. all of the proceeds go to help the younger generation of element to have space to learn and grow at our church.

P.S. I was called today by and anonymous reader saying that i better start posting again or they would vandalize janelle and i's apartment and they claimed they knew where we lived.

New Year's Blog

2009-01-01T13:49:00.003-05:00

Hey Guys, Happy new year. Janelle and i just got back from a run and are enjoying this nice 75 degree weather. My resolution for this year is to start back in the 40s and learn the top guitar songs for that decade then move all the way up to the present time. Now jason won't be able to make fun of me for not knowing any Beetles songs. By the way if you have any suggestions for a good song for me to learn give me the name of the song the artist and the decade.

blog 123

2008-09-19T12:29:00.004-04:00

hello buddies! lately i haven been busy with a lot of school stuff, trying to find a job and the element church starting up.

when we moved done to tampa i planned on finishing my last ten hours online at ecu, but one class was not offered so my graduation was going to be postponed till next year, all for just a two hour class. somehow God rigged it up for me to start taking the class at usf this week even though school is already four weeks underway. Amazing!

i've been in tampa for almost two months and still haven't found a job, until yesterday. one of my friends saw a flyer on campus saying guitar teacher needed for music school, so i called. interviewed and i got the job. the owner of the school is a christian guy and things just seemed to flow throughout the interview. then i pulled out the guitar and whooed him. i give three lessons tomorrow.

element launch service is this sunday. a lot of people are real excited and we think it is going to be awesome! pray for all the things that you pray about when you think of something like this.

longest blog ever. i need a picture. can you name everything in the fridge?

today

2008-09-02T21:51:00.002-04:00

today i wore shoes and played guitar for 7 hours. i did no school work and i liked it. I don't know how it happened, but it did. so today was filled with lots of tubey tone!

Voxy

2008-08-28T13:15:00.004-04:00

Hey guys, just to let you know it has been tough getting used to living in the dorm again. do you know they have things called quiet hours, which start at 10pm, that means no playing guitar late at night like i used to at the BCM. there is one secret though after 10 i use the vox amplug (thanks claude for buying it for me for christmas). it is a headphone amp that sounds almost just like the real thing. so i just plug in at the end of my pedalboard and if i want to add my ipod and play as loud as i want!

Element post

2008-08-25T13:22:00.004-04:00

Hey guys for the past few weeks i have been helping out element church setting up their new warehouse, building the stage, and installing the sound equipment all to get ready for the first service. yesterday was practice service, we are going to do two, and i have to say it went quite well. the service flowed really well, Bobby did a great job speaking and the band sounded great. it looked like over a hundred people there. one other cool thing was most of the people are our age and a lot of the married too. so we fit right in. somehow i managed to get the privilege of playing keyboard too. sorry the photo didn't turn out very well.

special talent

2008-08-14T14:09:00.003-04:00

alright you guys here is one of my special talents that some you may not know about. watch the video and it will explain. let me know if you can do it too.

insurance

2008-08-12T12:52:00.002-04:00

nobody likes it, but you can't live without or at least they won't let you drive without it. since janelle and just got married we had to combine car insurance. she already had her own plan so we figured that we would just call and add me no problem. so after about and hour of talking we have a whopping $1700 premium for 6 months (eventually got it down to $1339, thanks jason for haggling tactics).

this morning usaa calls and offer their services, now i have bargaining power. to make a long story short we are down to about $900. this is still what we would pay for the whole year in NC, but to protect us from crazy FL drivers (like Sheila) this will do.

VS.

I save $800 a year by switching from Geico.

i guess i should post

2008-08-07T11:55:00.003-04:00

hey guys i am here in the marshall center at usf, which is equivalent to mendon hall at ecu. i have been living for the little things this week. if you don't know what i mean, i have so little to do during the day if there is one thing planned for that day i am really excited. i have been spending a lot of time with the guitar and youtube, you can really learn a lot there. and i ride my bike for hobby too.

on monday i had a job interview with guitar center. it went good, but not as good as i would have liked it, but i wouldn't be surprised if i get the job. he said he would call later this week if i was hired. the position that i applied for was accessory sales, which means i sell pedals and guitar strings and i definitely know a lot about those so i should be fine. talk to you later.

music room

2008-07-30T12:37:00.002-04:00

here is the music room in our new apt. today was actually the first day since the wedding i got to use the vox ac30's. it was a good day. right now i am about to go apply for a job at the bowling alley. not giving up on guitar center, but i have to be active and it couldn't hurt to roll a few.

Guitar Center

2008-07-28T15:55:00.003-04:00

Today went job hunting. i applied online at guitar center then took a trip there to introduce myself. i hung out there for a while got to know some of the employees and met the manager.
the manager was not very friendly though he actually refused to shake my hand. anyways he said they are hiring and there are good benefits for working there, so be praying that i get the job.

Hey marco do you remember this? so many tubes.

tampa

2008-07-24T13:34:00.002-04:00

Janelle and i are now safely moved into our apt. with the help of claude, sheila and some other people that they knew, but we didn't. we got here monday, but just now got internet. there was a lot of passwords and stuff that had to be typed in that we didn't know yet that's why it took so long. well the apt is looking real nice and we will get some pic up real soon. talk to you guys later.

2008-06-03T17:15:00.003-04:00

hey guys here is another long awaited pedal blog. this time it is of the fulltone ocd pedal. this pedal is for people who like to run their amp(s) pretty clean most of the time, but sometimes need a huge overdriven sound. that is where this pedal blows your mind. you will hear the two extremes here. it can go anywhere in between, but long videos take forever to upload. hope you enjoy

trip

2008-06-01T17:39:00.003-04:00

Hey guys I just got back from a trip to Wilson NC. I visited Jonathan and Nicole Combs for the weekend. On the way up there i dropped Janelle off in Apex to visit her friend Gav. Getting to Apex was easy, but from Apex to Wilson was crazy, rush hour traffic and trying to figure out which way to go was really tough. It makes me really want a GPS system for the car, especially when we go to Tampa. Big city traffic drives me crazy, but hey I'm home now, safe and I got a freezee pop.

P.S. so far polls are 3 to 2 in favor of the beard for the wedding.

2008-05-24T13:02:00.004-04:00

hey everyone, i kind of forgot about blogging. so here is a slight update. i am doing well in wilmingtion i have been planning for the wedding on june 21st that will be here in wilmington at myrtle grove presbyterian church. i have also gotten a lot of practice on the guitar. one of the first things i did was set up a music room in the garage. now we jam here everyday. my beard is still growing. let's vote beard for the wedding or not.

Yeah!

2008-04-30T21:15:00.003-04:00

Hey guys, right now i am listening to band practice, that's right listening, i already miss it. on the other hand, Janelle got the coordinator job at USF. so it is official that we will be moving to Tampa Florida in the end of July. this is really exciting, but at the same time i will miss you guys. be praying for us!

hey guys sorry it has been so long since my last blog. even though it has been spring break i have been very busy. the good new is that is has been fun busy. i just got back from a conference at new spring church in south carolina. i really like going to those things and learning as much as a can from people who are further along and more experienced than i am. it was really great to see all of the passion everyone had that is involved in new spring church. everyone from the preacher, band members, sound and lighting team all the way down to the greeters as you walked in the door. i felt like they were actually excited that i was there. i want to encourage you guys to engage in that kind of excitement (even if it not your personality, its not mine either) and let church be something that people are looking forward to and excited to go to.

songs this week are:

Here is our King (David Crowder Band)

Let me Sing (Todd Fields)

Hosanna (Hillsong Untited)

2008-03-07T00:24:00.003-05:00

weekly blog

2008-01-21T16:08:00.000-05:00

hey guys, this is my weekly blog. lately i have been practicing the classical guitar a whole bunch to get ready for friday. i was up until 2:00 last night playing. i would have to say i played the guitar for about 6 hrs. yesterday. sunday morning the pice that i played was call allegro bwv 998 "eggroll" by johann sebastian bach. in classical music is categorized by when it was published and it gets an opus number (op. 474). if a song was written in 1770 and published in 1780 and then another song was written in 1775 and published in 1777 the second song would have the lower op. number. now bach wrote so much music that the classical music historians gave him his own category that was bwv which means Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis or (Bach Works Catalogue). Also Just a remider my recital is this friday Jan 25th @ 5:00 at the recital hall in the fletcher music building. If you can find the BCM it is 2 stoplight past that and on your left. also here is another taste of what i will play. It is call Preludio from the suite del plata.

the songs this week will be:

Your Grace is enough (Chris Tomlin)

Everyday (Lincoln Brewster version)

You never let go (Matt Redman)

Amazed (Lincoln Brewster Version)

Sing to the King (Candi Pearson)

Ping-Pong

2008-01-17T22:06:00.001-05:00

Pedal Blogs Line 6 DL4

2008-01-07T22:04:00.000-05:00

if i had to pick one pedal out of my whole board it would be this one. it is called a line 6 DL4. it is a delay/looper pedal. this is one of the most popular delay pedals being used right now. you can see a lot of professionals using them as well as Randy, Marcus and I. The first video will show one of the basic delays that use on sunday morning (stereo delay, one amp plays 8th notes and the other amp plays quarter note triplets) and the second video will demonstrate how the looping function is used. Also just to let you know the fancy thing that i have in my hand durning the looping is called and Ebow (electronic bow) it vibrates the string for me and makes cool sounds, kind of like a keyboard or as synth, but using the guitar. There can be a demo for that as well if you want it. i hope this helps you understand one of my pedals a little bit more. let me know if there are any questions and look forward to more reviews.

hey guys i am now done with exams and it feels good. its even better to know that there is not much more school left. today i tried to do some fancy stuff with my blog, but i could get the pictures off the digital camera to get them on the blog. i'll continue to work on it. maybe that will make for some more interesting blogs. here are the songs for this week.

all because of Jesus (steve fee)

Let the praises ring (lincoln brewster)

hosanna (hillsong)

fire fall down (hillsong)

Special- A christmas song

sing to the King (candi pearson)

ha!

2007-12-08T23:06:00.000-05:00

D-now

2007-12-01T13:25:00.000-05:00

hey guys, i just got done with an event at covenant church called d-now. our band from discovery played friday night and saturday morning and it was awesome. it was really neat to see how responsive the kids (and adults) were to the music and the whole event for that matter. i would say it was a real success. the whole congregation is such an important part of the worship experience. the band feeds off of the crowd response and in turn the crowd gets more excited and everyone has a good experience. i will encourage you guys to come to church sunday with a worshipful attitude that you can share and really expect to get a lot out of the service. i think it will be contagious.

everlasting God (lincoln brewster version)

glorious one (steve Fee)

our god reigns (chris tomlin)

lead me to the cross (hillsong)

Thanksgiving blog

2007-11-22T21:54:00.000-05:00

hey everyone, i'm writing to you from jacksonville florida. i traveled down here with me family to visit my sister and my new niece for thanksgiving. that's right i'm an uncle.

it's great to have a fun family. we've been having a blast, we've played music, pool, and i even tried nintendo wii, i wasn't very good though. but it has been short lived b/c we are leaving tomorrow at 8am. basically two days driving for one full day here. i'll see ya at set up on saturday.

hey everyone, i'm back. let me tell you something, it seem odd how this happens, but today while we were practicing for the service it just wouldn't gel. lots of people, including me, were missing notes and chords, and forgetting words and it seemed like everything was going wrong. after practice we got together it it seemed like everyone realized we weren't going to do it right today on our own. we got together and prayed and so after the worst practice we pull off the best version of the songs that we played this week. this has happened numerous times and it is really awesome how God bails us out. b/c we are in it for Him He doesn't let us look stupid(most of the time).

Also did anyone notice the old organ that i found at the b&g club? i thought it was cool even though i can't really do much with it.

next week is 90's worship week. i know some you are now thinking this is one of the reasons why i come to this b/c so many churches are still stuck doing 90's "contemporary" music. i think it will be cool though i tried to pick out songs that were not so overplayed that you are sick of them, and also ones that you will like. here they are:

The noise we Make (Chris Tomlin)

Did you feel the mountians tremble (Delirious?)

Heart of worship (Matt Redman)

I could sing of your love forever (Delirious?)

Special: History Maker (Delirious?) how appropriate

Open the eyes of my heart (Sonicflood version)

i've decided to blog about my gear that i use on sunday. i'm sure you guys have all seen my extensive pedalboard and think what does all that do? so each week i am going to give a review of one of my pedals. so look for that to come later this week.

hey guys this is my first blog on my new laptop. an apple macbook! how many people enjoyed james (the drummer last week)? i thought he did really well, he was just filling in for dave, but i hope he can come back. Also i cannot tell you how surprised i was for the pastor appreciation gift i received, it certainly took me "buy" surprise. I did put all of it in savings for the wedding, resisting the urge to spend it on musical gear. thanks you so much for all who helped with that. please keep Janelle and i in your prayers as we prepare for the upcoming wedding. Here are the songs for this week:

O, Praise Him(David Crowder)

Mighty to Save(Hillsong)

Here I am to worship(Tim Hughes)

Fire Fall down(Hillsong)

All Because of Jesus(Steve Fee)

hey everyboy i'm back to blogging. to start this weekend was awesome b/c it was fall break and i didn't do any school work at all (now school has started i realize i should have got something done). anyways i had a great time i visited wilmington after church on sunday and saw my family. i got to play some music with my brothers and play a little ping-pong with my dad and also spend time with janelle's family. the weather was of course amazing so that made for a great weekend.

back to sunday morning, very cool. it was good to see so many of you out there doing stuff to serve the community. i was picking up trash so i didn't have much interaction, but i kept picking up these little pieces of trash and i told them that if i didn't pick them up then probaly no one would. so that kept me going.

here are the songs:
All bow down(Chris Tomlin)
Because of You(Steve Fee)
How Great is our God(Chris Tomlin)
Glorious one(Steve Fee)

Guess what? I'm on the boards. Most of you know my most recent exciting news b/c I announced it in church, but for those of you who missed it as of last Friday night I am engaged to Janelle who has been my girlfriend for four years. It happened on the beach in Wilmington around 11:30 at night. She didn't know until I got down on one knee and asked the question will you marry me? And she said YES! We are both excited and we will let you know we we set a date.

This is my first attempt at blog and now it is a staff requirement to do at least one a week, so I am going to try. It is sometimes hard for me to check me email let alone blog so we'll see how this works out.
