The Greenroom

We adapt album recordings of worship songs to a 5-piece band. Sometimes that means using a 5-string bass to be faithful to the recording.

You don't always have to stick to the recording.

So much of your tone depends on the way you approach the strings. Daniel shows you how.

Many songs in modern worship either replace the bass or augment the bass with keyboard. Fear not! We can create a similar tone by using octaves.

Daniel demystifies the slap technique for bass guitar.

Sometimes house power can give a nasty hum when you take your hands off the bass. Daniel shares an easy trade secret to keep it quiet.

In order to really grow, you need to spend time with just a drummer to work out grooves and patterns that are fun to play and also have real-world application.

It's a personal choice so rather than tell you what you should do, I'm going to list a few benefits of each.

Worship Artistry guitar and bass instructors Jason Houtsma and Daniel Ornellas celebrate the new resources page by discussing their favorite gear and how they make choices for all levels of playing.
