Maybe it's because I've been writing a research paper for my English class, but I'm going to be writing this blog and using Nigel "The Droff" Hendroff's blog post on Hillsong Creative (The Pursuit of Tone) as a reference and proving point. Regardless, I hope that you find this helpful and informative, and I pray that you take this to heart. Also, as with any of my posts, feel free to comment with your opinions, questions, and suggestions. I want this to stir discussion.
What, then, is the "Pursuit of Tone"? For those that are newer to the area of Worship Leading, this is a key point to consider, regardless of whether you are a vocalist, a percussionist, a pianist, a guitarist, or a techie (shout out to ya'll!). The pursuit of tone is just what it sounds like (deep, I know). It is the constant search-and-discovery that you go through in order to make things sound just right. No human likes bad-sounding music, so why would God?

The Beginning
Why am I doing this? What's the purpose of the blog?
This blog is supposed to be thought-provoking. You don't have to agree with everything I say, in fact, I would be surprised if you did. This blog is supposed to give you advice, but at the very least help you examine what you're doing in worship as I examine what I'm doing in worship.
The main reason I created this blog was actually to leave behind all the knowledge I have gained in the past 6 years I have been leading worship. This blog will hit a multitude of things: playing the guitar, the heart of worship, ways of worship, getting a team to work together, etc. Hopefully there will be some videos and tutorials and links and lots of other stuff for you to access too. I want this blog to be a gateway into the beautiful world of music and the privilege of leading God's beloved in singing His praises.
By all means, feel free to email me or comment on the blog if you have questions or believe I am wrong on something. I would love for this to be something worth accessing, something worth plugging into, and for this to be a place where we share the adventure of discovering what it truly means to worship our God together.
