Favorite1. Elixer Guitar Strings Elixir Strings Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings w NANOWEB Coating are well known to be long lasting. This is my go to strings, the bright sounding tone lasts for at least a year. I can go up to 2 years with these strings on my guitar if I keep them well. Besides the NANOWEB coating, there is also the POLYWEB coating, a quick breakdown on these 2 below: POLYWEB: Warm, robust, and “played-in”. Slick and fast feel on the strings.

FavoriteThese are classic guitars under the $500 budget which are well worth the price for the quality and build. The recommended guitars will last you from your beginner to performing stage as a musician and worshipper. See our checklist on what to look at in a guitar before you buy one! 1. Taylor Big Baby The Big Baby Taylor is what we would recommend (instead of the baby Taylor), a 15/16-scale Dreadnought. It is slightly smaller (15/16th size) than a full-size guitar, which makes it perfect for a child, youth or a travelling musician. I’ve used this for awhile and I have to say that the tone from strumming is bright and full. It is slightly lighter and compact which makes it really suitable for a experienced cell group guitarist and newbie. Try this for a few years before moving up to a full premium Taylor. Taylor Guitars has been…

FavoriteHymns are sacred songs for adoration of our God, just like any praise and worship song. In a contemporary context, hymns are often classified as traditional songs that were sung in the 1800s to 1900s. This is very much like how we consider songs composed in ancient time of King David (1000 BC) as Psalms. To put it simply, Hymns = Praise and Worship Songs = Psalms. Hymns are getting more exposure in recent times. Hymns are being sung and re-written in various contemporary ways. Let’s look at some of the popular ones and hope they inspire you in your own worship time. 1. Amazing Grace (John Newton, 1772) Newton was a slave trader who marked his conversion to Christianity during a storm where he was nearly shipwrecked.
