WELCOME TO THE 4 TH ANNUAL WORSHIP GUITAR PLAYER BUYER ’ S GUIDE !
We at [ WM ] Worship Musician magazine admit that we really are guitar centric . Yes , we like bass ( I play at my church even though I ’ m not a bass player , but it is where the need is ), we like keys ( especially analog synths ) and drums . But if you read [ WM ] faithfully you will notice that the Worship Guitar Player section of the free digital magazine is the largest part of the monthly publication .
Once a year we put together this Worship Guitar Player BUYER ’ S GUIDE for people just like you ( and just like us ). We searched for persons who epitomize being an active worship guitar player on a worship team . We found seven of them for this 2024 Edition . We are bringing you their collective experience , proper attitudes towards being on a worship team and recommendations regarding which basic tools they use to present worship well . Oh , did we mention it is chocked full of guitar gear ?
If you like our monthly digital magazine ( and the BUYER ’ S GUIDE ) and you are looking for the musical equipment you may need , know that we as a publication have an affiliate relationship with Sweetwater . If you do purchase anything through them , you can use this link sweetwater . sjv . io / AWWb4x to help support us . You get the same good prices and customer service at Sweetwater , and we get some financial assistance from Sweetwater as an affiliate . Good Christian business is when we all win .
