@Chris Harrison:

Funny you would say that. Those were the first set of Martin strings I had ever tried out. Too funny.

I could sing There Is A Redeemer weekly! I’ll have to check out Grace Greater than Our Sin. The title alone is a sell point.

I used to always break that string, but since I started to order Martin strings from http://www.stringthis.com, I really don’t break strings anymore. Great strings (bulk prices).

@Fred: thanks for starting this up. I’m loving the way we’re starting to build one another up.

@Gary: thankfully, my rhythm stylings weren’t needed too much on the second half of the set list.

@Billy: every church body can use a good dose of Keith Green every once in a while. glad to see someone taking advantage of the luvin’.

@Bobby: thanks. I had never heard of David before coming to North Texas, but he’s a favorite of our church. a very talented musician, and a pretty engaging speaker. I’m not a big fan of all his stuff, but there are some real gems in his repertorie.

@Rob: I had the exact same problem when I owned a Takamine G series ax. For me, it was my pick thickness. This is actually the first string break on my Ibanez exotic wood, but now that I think about it, I’ve been using a thicker guitar pick lately…

@Steve: what, no commando?

Thanks for the comments everyone. I appreciate it.

If you keep breaking your G string, the best advice I’ve been given is: “wear boxers or briefs”.

I can’t the string break!!! It only ever happens in the middle of leading worship! I bought a Takamine G series last year and went through a period where I was breaking a string almost every week!! Finally got the tension set right where now it doesn’t happen… but have gotten into the habit of having my other guitar on stage with me!!

Oh wow; what a great set list. Wish I could hear it.

Not familiar with David Crain though. I’ll have to check him out.

sorry, I couldn’t resist. I had to try out the kewordluv. And I checked your source code - I’m impressed by the dofollow plugin as well. Remind me to comment on your blog more often for a phatty SEO hook up

Jeff,
We did a Keith Green song too. Actually, another vocalist was supposed to sing it, but she was sick today. So we cut it from the mix. But while the sermon was going on our guitar player still wanted to do it - so another vocalist learned the song in my office and we did it at the end.

This type of last minuteness was WAY out there for me. I’m a plan it upfront type of guy. All in all things went pretty cool with the music and absolutely stellar with the message.

Gotta hate the string brake. I can empathize with you on that. Very unfortunate.
