WELL THAT WENT WELL...

We are happy to report that the soft launch of Worship Artistry with only a few minor glitches has been a rousing success.  In only our first live month, we've had over 75 countries represented, brought our studio to California to interview Saddleback worship leader Travis Ryan, and had the song lesson for "Forever Reign" cross the 1,000 view mark.  Here's a look at what else is new.

DON'T MISS OUR NEW SONG ADDITIONS

Bringing you new song lessons every week is our top priority.  Over the past month we have added Chris Tomlin's acoustic thumper, "All My Fountains", "Majesty" by Delirious, "From The Inside Out" by Hillsong United and Jeremy Camp's version of "Overcome" which is written by friend of the site, Jon Egan.  Look for these titles coming soon.

God's Not Dead (Like A Lion) - (Newsboys)

Fearless (Travis Ryan)

Holy Is The Lord (Chris Tomlin)

Today Is The Day (Lincoln Brewster)

Don't see a song you've requested?  Fear not...  We have it, we just have a huge list and we don’t want this email to go on for pages and pages.  The more requests we get for a particular song, the faster it will move to the top of the list.

NEW FEATURES

Now that we’re up and running, we’ll be looking to add new features to enhance your experience.  A number of you have requested song difficulty ratings, so we are going to be implementing a new three point rating system.  Each song will have a difficulty rating for both rhythm and lead guitar, with one point being the easiest and three points being the most difficult.  This is meant to help you explore new music and find songs that fit your ability.  Just don't be afraid to push yourself to the next level!

TEACHER TWEETS

In addition to our main @WorshipArtistry Twitter account, Jason is tweeting.  You can follow him and send him messages @JasonHoutsma or simply view his Teacher Tweets on your dashboard.  He is also answering questions on our Facebook wall, so don't be shy – ask away!

A NOTE TO OUR BETA TESTERS

We are extremely grateful for your participation in our beta trial.  Most of your free 30 days are about to expire.  If you wish to continue your subscription at the regular rate, you can do nothing and your account will roll over when the trial ends.  If you would like to cancel your account, you may do so from the “View Subscription Details” link on your dashboard.  For the few of you who still have not registered, the beta coupon will expire on June 1 and will no longer be usable, so if you've been waiting to give it a try, there is no time like the present.

We’ll keep you posted on any new developments, and please send us any feedback on the site and how we can make it better.  That’s all for now.  Keep on strumming!
