Sunday Prep Email
Walk into rehearsal already knowing the songs.
Every Tuesday, we break down one song churches are actually playing this week — chords, key, tone, and approach. Free.
You find out Thursday what you're playing Sunday.
You learn it in the car.
You fake the bridge and hope the keys player is loud.
This week's songs
The ones actually on setlists right now — not a back catalog you have to dig through.
Chords and Nashville numbers
So you can move keys on Sunday morning without relearning the song.
Tone and gear
What gets you close on the rig you already own.
When not to play
The part nobody teaches volunteers.
I played worship guitar for thirteen years before I really understood what I was doing.
I could play the parts. I could hit the swells, copy the record, and make it through the set. But I couldn't have told you what most of those songs were actually about. I was focused on playing my guitar instead of being present in the room.
Sunday Prep exists to change that. It's what I wish someone had sent me on a Tuesday—not just to help me learn the songs, but to help me understand my part, prepare with purpose, and show up on Sunday ready to put the guitar down mentally and be part of what was happening in the room.
What shows up Tuesday
One song. Broken down. Keep it simple.
The song, and the key you'll actually play it in
Not the record key. The one that sits where your singer lives, and whether a capo earns its place.
The chart, in Nashville numbers
So when the key moves Thursday night, you move with it instead of rewriting the whole page.
Tone — what to dial in, what to leave alone
Settings that get you close on whatever you own. No pedal you have to buy first.
The part, and the sections where you don't play
Most of what makes a guitarist sound good on Sunday is knowing which eight bars to sit out.
Four minutes to read. Longer to practice.
