Hello everyone I wouldn't call myself a pro but over the years playing these are the things that come in handy: Learning to listen - A pro was telling me music is not restricted to just your major scale and being able to hear all the different ways music can flow would give you more ideas in a worship situation. Also from the learn and master guitar it helped me read music something i dislike to this day but need to do it because I'm at an old school church. So I had to learn to spell chords and write them in on my sheet music. Practice along with recording its like playing with other people to some extent lol that's what i do. Plus don't limit yourself to only play in your home church if other churches have events go and fellowship with them. Especially if your from the old school it limits your skills so plus you get bored. plus when you get a chance to play live make sure you can hear yourself and not over power the band with your skills just give the music what it needs . That may be a solo or four chords but what ever you do play your part. Plus you know worship leaders like to be spontaneous so that learning to listen is critical because if you got feel when those chords changes coming and hear the type of chord to play. If you know the number system for chords in a live setting they may call the numbers for you. But as you get more experience you ask them what you play just now and they would watch you play the note and watch you like a you suppose to know that lol. Hey never giving up is the best attribute a musician should have and their is always room for growth practice makes permanent.
