Totally been there. I typically lead worship for students, but the worst time for me to have done something like that was during an all-church gathering. I'm going around with all my musicians saying, "you got this? you need anything? don't forget about this/that." then i turn around and pull something like that. go to a different (higher) key, use my cut-capo instead of my full capo ... yeah, that was fun to try to pull off.

sometimes you do just have to stop. it's not stage etiquette, but it needs to be done sometimes.

The funning is, when you out in the congregation, you cant help but notice... oh sure, you can pretend you're still "worshiping in the spirit" but in your mind your thinking "WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT!?"

Yeah, you just gotta start over on this I think. You're pretty much toast and have lost everyone. I think people would laugh it off if you just started over.

I had to do it last week. I wonder if his sound guy put this on the web? If that's the case...I'd chase him down and have a little "talk" about putting my mistakes out on the web for the world to hear.

YES! :-(((((

I transpose on the keyboard constantly to match the guys without having to rewrite chord charts. One song is normal, the next a 2, the next a 1, the next a four. Then I go back up to play invitation and forget the last song was capo-ed! Ugh. Not a good time for errors. The guys learned to come in behind me tentatively,and I BEG them to say to me often, "Got your copa off/-on?"

Reading these comments, I guess for all those who don't know what a "capo" is, that sounds rather odd!!!

We were debuting a new song with a new worship leader. He was going to start the lead on the song, me on guitar. He was totally choking and I was thinking, "Dude... you are tanking! What's the deal? You nailed it in rehearsal. Maybe using you wasn't such a good idea."

The band all realized what was happening and came in right (in the wrong key I was plying in...), then after the chorus - I'm still clueless - I look down and see no capo on 3 (we're supposed to be in Bb).

Lightbulb over my head turns on. Shock and panic... I wanted to die!

I turned around to the band and they're all laughing. I call out Bb and popped my capo on in superhuman time and we hit the downbeat for the turnaround in the new key.

I wanted to crawl under a rock.

And I owe that guy lunch!

Oh yeah, wow. That does bring back some hellacious memories. There was a period where I tuned my strings to E flat (cause that's what the Edge does, of course) and so when I capo'd I had to think in capo AND in e flat. How shall I say...I don't tune to eflat anymore. There are musicians who can actually think musically out there, but I'm not one of them.

Thanks for the nightmares.

Apparently you turned up a copy of the Cliff Notes version of my life as a musician. I thought I had left all that behind...

You wouldn't believe all the crazy stuff my worship pastor has done. Like this once, he cut himself shaving his dome and then thought it was like news to the rest of the wor.......wait a minute, never mind.
