Primary Guitar and / or Keyboard for performance & songwriting
My favorite acoustic is my Martin 00-28 . I also write a good deal on a Nord Stage 4 . Martin 00-28 : $ 3,199 Nord Stage 4 : $ 2,999
Preferred Vocal Mic for Stage / for Studio . Live I use a DPA 4018VL capsule on a Shure Axient transmitter . Then at the studio I ’ m either on a Vintage Neumann u89 or a Neumann m149 .
Tuner D ’ Adarrio came out with a micro soundhole tuner that I love . It clips on like a headstock tuner , but fits discretely in the sound hole of your acoustic .

What is a current worship record you enjoy listening to right now ?
I don ’ t mean this to be a cheap answer , but I just got the masters for Elevation Rhythm ’ s album . I wasn ’ t involved with writing or producing it so I ’ m hearing it all with fresh ears and I ’ m super inspired by what they ’ ve created .
Guitar Strings I use D ’ Adarrio phosphor bronze , light
Capo
D ’ Addario EJ16 : $ 7.99
A few years ago I was introduced to Thalia capos and have become obsessed . They ’ re amazing in studio or writing settings . Not necessarily the most practical in a live setting if you need to add a capo or adjust frets quickly , but I ’ m still a major fan .

I have JH 13 ’ s right now and love them . I ’ ve been really impressed with the reliability and customer service of JH Audio over the years

What is the next piece of gear you would be excited to have ?
I ’ d like to learn how to play accordion .
