Bass vs. Guitar

So I pluged in the Johnson into Karls amp today and it kicked ass after I got it retuned because it was all out if tune because I was jamming last night on new strings!! So it sounded great on the divided by thirteen with new strings and all. I was able to get some nice clean tone from it but I’m still not used to how the analog signal sounds so when I was playing I had to change the settings a bit on the guitar to get the same sound I wanted as I had on the solid state.

So with that done and over with I picked up the bass karl had there and I do have to say I suck at bass but then again it was the first time I had ever played it too! But I do have to say bass is nessecary but guitar is mor fun. But I think I will probably pick up a cheap bass just to mess around on.

Over all after playing Karls les Paul style guitar vs the Johnson strat that I have I think that I will switch over to a les Paul style for my next guitar it just has more ioc what I’m looking for. The reason I like the les Paul style is I listen to a lot of metal and hard rock and it just gives me that sound plus j can get the worship sound from it as well.

Amps

So I got to try out karl’s new divided by 13 amp. Yaya I know way out of my price range right!?! Well he let me play my guitar on it any way, tottaly sounded great!! The guitar fared really well me not so much I just really need to work on speed and timing.

But over all u liked this amp of his better than his holland that he was using before hand! The divided by 13 just has that sound that just grabs the mind and says you love this and it is true!!!

So after I unplugged the guitar and came home I descided to bust out the practice amp,the only one I have right now, and started to jam well discovered that the amp really does not like high volume and low notes going pretty fast through it it just shuts down and it is a solid state amp so I knew I didn’t blow a tube or something but it still took me 10 min to get it to work again. The one good thing I got out of it the strings are nice and lose and sound a lot better than the old ones and sound broken in which is good. But that is one of the things I don’t have down yet is tuning!! Anyony have any special tips on how to learn to tune by ear??

Future in ministry

So we went to jenifer whites house today and we some how got on to the topic of college and future and I said that I wanted to go in to full time ministry. Well my aunt tried to shoot that down quicker than lightnig strikes and it got me thinking how should I truely go about this?!? Serving god is the only place Ive truely felt like I was making a difference in someones life. Doing gods work.

Just maybe with all of our tech and bells and whistles at church just maybe I can help bring somebody to Christ.

I guess what I’m trying to get at is that I’m coming to the point in my life were I need to make decisions that will shape the rest of my life. I want to go in to full time ministry or so I feel. So I am asking you guys what I should do?
