Transcript included below…Why Some People Quit Guitar (and How You Can Avoid It)I connected with a friend recently who shared with me that his son, though an avid saxophone player for many years, had recently lost interest in the instrument. There was not a real explanation, except that he had sort of fallen out of love with the saxophone.Now as we talked about in Guitar Serious Fun Episodes 17 and 18, “Guitar through the Seasons (Parts 1 and 2),” there are definitely different times in our lives where we play more or less music on our instruments, but what about stopping completely and indefinitely?We've all met people who have quit their instruments.  And usually, they regret it.Some people start out with great intentions, but along the musical road, some decide to stop, for one reason or another. If you're playing the guitar and you don't want to fall out of love with it, please consider these eight “catalysts” I have for you today. 1. Be realistic with how much you expect of yourself.As musicians, we can have lofty dreams of performing on grand stages, recording albums that have national distribution, and gaining a viral following on social media. But the Lord may not have this plan for us.  To that end, I think it's good to have reasonable expectations, so that we can meet those and exceed them.When it comes to the actual discipline of regular practice, if we ask too much of ourselves, it can be hard to sustain.Practicing 2 hours a day may work for someone for a few days, but once they miss a few days of this 2-hour regimen, regret and overwhelm can set in.  What about 15 to 30 minutes a day? That's a much more sustainable endeavor, especially for a hobbyist or someone who plays the guitar on the more recreational side.I'll add the pro tip that practicing at the same time, for the same amount of time, in the same place each day leads to even better consistency…even for people who just play the guitar for fun.2. Make sure you are playing some music that feeds your soul.Not all the music we will play will be in the center or our passion or taste, but some of it should be.Some of the things we play will be technique-building, and they may sound good, or they may sound monotonous.Some songs are more life-giving than others, and some songs are too difficult to play in some early seasons of guitar playing.However, easier versions of guitar songs exist, and when we get a taste of what's possible as we play an actual song, we can feel momentum. I had a young guitar student for several years who was just starting out, but who had a deep appreciation for James Taylor, whom she had seen in concert.  So, I found a way to simplify some of his songs so she could play them.Stephen Humphries, a national hammered dulcimer champion and follow of Christ with whom I've studied, offered this pearl of wisdom.  He said,“Technique is a means to an end. Make sure the music you want to play is that end.”Mic drop.If all we're doing is sharpening our musical techniques and rarely actually playing real music, it can be very easy to lose sight of our goals.That's why, in the five “joining bonuses” when my members join GuitarSuccess4U, they get instant access to a legitimate song I wrote about the joy of playing music on the guitar in a community. And they can learn to play it at one of 14 different levels of play, so even guitarists who have never played a note can be playing along with me right away.3. Set some realistic goals and write them down.Speaking of goals, as we talked about in Episode 69 – “How to Read it on the Run with Guitar and More” with guest Dawn Jones, if we don't write down what our goals are, we will get much less traction, and then we will feel much less progress.In that episode, Dawn said that “Research has shown that if you write something on your calendar, you have a 60% chance of completing it, compared to if you don't write it down.”So, write down some realistic goals.  And as we talked about with Dawn, put them somewhere visible so you can “read them on the run.”4. Seek out some quick wins.Believe it or not, learning to play a chord, or strum a strumming pattern, can be a great win that can fuel your desire to keep playing.But make it a quick win.  Not a huge endeavor.  If you're looking for some ideas for wins, I encourage you to check out Guitar Serious Fun Episode 55 - “Bookending Your Guitar Practice with Wins.”  Many of these are ones our member of GuitarSuccess4U have come up with on their own.5. Go see a guitar player you admire in concert.Remember, this is not the same thing as watching someone on YouTube, which can be good.  But there's something about the excitement in a live venue when a performer interacts with their audience and plays well.I will never forget seeing the late Michael Hedges in concert in 1995.  It was inspiring to my guitar journey on multiple levels, because his skill set was unparalleled.  Also, the journey he took us on with his multi-faceted concert, all within the limitations of just a couple guitars, a flute, and a piccolo, was captivating.I kept a journal for many years of concerts I got to experience, and I jotted down particular elements of those shows that impacted me as a music listener, and also as a musician.  The Michael Hedges concert was the inspiration for that journal, and that memory still keeps me excited about the guitar.6. Have some sort of musical outlet for your playing.I want to credit one of our guest experts in GuitarSuccess4U for this suggestion.  His name is Brian Reding, and he not only produced my best album to date, he graciously filmed a video interview with me about many different aspects of musicianship, especially centered around listening well.The members of GuitarSuccess4U have enjoyed this interview immensely.Brian has been a music teacher, a funk band leader, and also a worship leader.  In his words, a guitarist needs to have an outlet for their musical expression.When we play our guitar in a collaborative, live setting, it validates our efforts.  Think about this.  If we keep our guitar in the practice space, no one but us gets to enjoy what we're working on.But if we team up with a worship team, a cover band, or even jam in a song circle of hobbyists, we get to share what we're working on, and play in collaboration with others.These collaborations give us the opportunity to practice and prepare music, and to self-observe when we're “in the moment.”  I guarantee you that playing with others helps us raise our game as musicians.If we can break past the intimidation factor and allow ourselves to be humbled a bit by the process, we will emerge as better players in many ways.  Our tempos, our musicianship, our ability to listen, these will all be enhanced.Also, if we know the band is expecting us to come prepared, that will provide accountability, leading to more diligent practice, more wins, and more progress.7. Connect with a tribe of guitar players.If you've experienced these episodes of Guitar Serious Fun for any length of time, you probably know where I'm going with this.I am honored to lead an online community of Christian guitarists called GuitarSuccess4U.It's unlike anything I've ever seen before.  Inside this community, those who engage in the weekly Zoom calls find a whole new level of support and encouragement.We also hosted our first ever live “in person” event in 2023.  It was unreal.  We had discussions, worship, teaching sessions, jam sessions, guitar diagnostics, member spotlights, and we feasted together. There were laughs, tears, hugs, and people bonded, because they had Christ and guitar in common.And as the members returned home, I'm confident that they each had more wind in their sails, a greater sense of purpose, and a desire to go deeper with their skills.The African proverb I've quoted before to my members, and in Guitar Serious Fun says,“If you want to go fast, go alone.  If you want to go far, go together.”Lastly, I'll circle back around to the title of this blog/podcast…8. Have serious fun.The guitar can be challenging, but it can simultaneously be very fulfilling.  A good challenge that we can overcome can really spur us on as we continue forward.I have several friends who hunt.  Given the choice between going out into the woods and pursuing their prey, even in difficult conditions…and having a large, freshly slain animal carcass delivered to their front doorstep, they would pursue the hunt every time.It's all about the thrill of the hunt. People in our culture are swayed by an “easy” way to learn.  But this can be short-lived and misleading.Guitar can be hard to learn.  I don't mean to make it harder; on the contrary, I want to make it simpler and also more fulfilling.  And in GuitarSuccess4U, I've found a way to cut through a lot of the confusion.But as I've talked about in these episodes, we do ourselves a disservice if we expect the learning process to only be fun all the time.Because what happens when the fun stops?  Should the learning stop?  I hope not.So, engage in serious fun, and watch what happens when you overcome obstacles that you didn't even know you could.Then, you'll find yourself, like in Guitar Serious Fun Episode 3, saying “Yeah Buddy.”You've probably noticed in today's episode that I've alluded to no less than five previous episodes of Guitar Serious Fun.  If you've already experienced all five of them, awesome.  Maybe spool through them again.  But if you haven't, your Serious Fun homework is to do so. These episodes are served up with a great deal of care, and they're concise, so you can enjoy them swiftly and gather wisdom and encouragement in an efficient manner.As we close, I encourage you to proactively build some infrastructure around yourself so that when you think of quitting your instrument, you will have much more protection in place.When others give up, you will press on.  And then…the joy of music and the long game will be yours.Lastly, if you want to know where and how to accelerate your progress in a serious fun way, in a community of like-minded followers of Christ who are also pursuing their dreams on the guitar, I invite you to check out GuitarSuccess4U.com.  This experience could also act as a catalyst for your guitar and music longevity, if you lean into it.Thanks for experiencing another episode with me today.

Transcript included below…When was the last time you saw a movie where there was an underdog who, against all odds, prevailed in the face of difficulty, and overcame incredible obstacles? Maybe the underdog was a single person, or perhaps it was a small group of warriors, athletes, or even a high school debate team.I'll bet you've seen several movies like that…perhaps even recently.Part of what makes a good movie good is the point in the plot when the victory happens – especially when we weren't sure if the hero could pull it off.We cheer for underdogs, and we enjoy stories about them, because we watch them get refined, strengthened, and transformed as they face their challenges head on.Imagine if there was a movie about a person (or a team) who won their battles without even having to try.  What would that look like if that was the whole point of the movie?The battalion of warriors goes out to battle and their opponents surrender even before the fight.The football team walks into the stadium for the first game of the season, all geared up, and the referee calls the game off, declaring them the state champions even before the season begins.The debate team shows up at their first tournament and they are automatically awarded the national first place trophy even without competing.Roll the credits.Huh?I don't think so.  A challenge needs to be thrown down.  The hero or heroes must overcome that challenge.I think a noble victory takes effort.  It takes sweat, focus, and dedication.  It's a worthy endeavor. And it brings great satisfaction. Anyone who promises an easy victory is probably not being fully transparent, and at the very least, they are not allowing the opportunity for good, hard work.When it comes to music, I've seen a lot of examples where there have been opportunities for growth…through challenges, especially when interfacing with other, more talented musicians.  Here are some of my thoughts and stories about this.Worship Team StandardsWhen auditioning people for worship team, I've always held the standards pretty high, because I want skilled players – not just warm bodies – leading God's people in praise.Notice that I didn't say “perfect players.”  Some of the people I have brought onto the team have played rather simply, but they've played well.I'd rather have a simple drummer who can keep a solid beat, than someone who adds all sorts of creative rhythmic flourishes but loses track of the tempo and confuses the band.  The ideal balance is when someone is an intuitive and tasteful musician.In the process of auditioning and recruiting people, I've come across some who are more skilled than I am.  And do you know what I do when that happens?I rejoice.  I do a little “happy dance.”  Because I can learn from them.We can always learn from other musicians at whatever level of skill they are, of course (more on that in a future episode). But I find that I can learn even more from musicians who are more skilled than I am.  Some of these musicians are more skilled guitarists.  Others are more skilled vocalists.  Some are involved in production.Others play instruments I don't even know how to play (exempli gratia: bass guitar).  But they may have additional musical chops beyond their instrument, like intuitive listening skills, a strong sense of the groove, phrasing, or dynamics.Some worship leaders out there are no doubt intimidated by musicians who are more skilled than they are, and though these worship leaders may bring these highly skilled musicians on board, there can be a level of jealousy simmering just below the surface.   I say that the more skilled musicians in my life, the better – this will enhance everything I do when I play alongside them.I'm the better for it.  I'm “called up” to a higher standard of musicianship, and I am thankful.  Let me introduce you to some of the musicians I feel “called up” to serve alongside.The Golden SaxA good friend of mine named Jeff is a multi-instrumentalist, with the alto saxophone as his principal instrument.  He's also a performer, worship leader, and a band instructor.Jeff has a solid background in music and has a deep understanding of jazz and other styles, and has been a regular contributor to the worship leadership and culture at his church. Whenever I come through his city on tour, I always invite him to play in my shows, and he is always eager to join me.  He's a world-class musician, and his incredible musicianship is matched only by his humility.Side note – it's always refreshing to jam with someone who is more humble than they are skilled.  The opposite is true – I've met people who are quite arrogant who aren't actually that talented…including people who have a fraction of Jeff's ability.Jeff could be arrogant and it could still be understandable, because he's that good – but he has always proven himself to be super chill and humble.Jeff is a true gentleman and a scholar.Most recently, when coming through his town on my way to see my extended family, Jeff and I put together a rather impromptu hangout time in his music class.He had his instrumentalists play for a bit, working on woodwind rudiments and sight reading.Then he invited me to play.  I jammed some technical guitar songs for the class and spoke from my musical background and love of music.Then came the magic.  Jeff and I collaborated, with me on acoustic guitar, and him on sax, with my eldest daughter singing harmonies.We broke into some covers, and we played stuff that we had never collaborated on before.  I literally told Jeff the key we would be in, and then I played the song. I didn't even tell him the name of the song – I just strummed, smiled and sang as he listened, then entered the musical conversation, seamlessly contributing melodic lines with artistry I have rarely observed in any other musician.  Jeff's musical ear allowed him to present some tremendously tasteful, improvised solo lines, and our informal jam session for the class came off like a polished, well-rehearsed performance.When the class realized that Jeff and I had had zero prep, and everything we offered was presented in the moment, they grinned with delight.I am much less of an improviser than Jeff is.  His musicianship is on a whole new level above mine.  So, every collaboration experience is a chance for me to be sharpened.  I have a front row seat to his musical choices, and those choices inspire me to make even better ones.And it's also just plain serious fun.I will say that once I've spent time collaborating with Jeff, I'm much more open to making spontaneous musically creative choices.  It's really good medicine to jam with him, because he's so much more talented than I am, especially in the areas of artistry and improvisation.With Jeff, I am “called up” to a new level of musicianship.Aux in a BoxI first met Jeremy when he volunteered for our worship team at church, and I soon discovered that this young twenty-something of a percussionist was so much more than he appeared to be.He was a wunderkind. He played the cajon – the percussion “box” in a way that rivaled some drum kit grooves, and he did it with such confidence and such a solid pocket that any temptation I had to rush the tempo got checked right away.Sure, I can play enough of a groove on the cajon to keep a beat, but he made the percussion groove an experience.Jeremy eventually became one of our guest experts at GuitarSuccess4U where we put together a series of grooves, as he responded to a variety of strumming patterns I had crafted on the guitar.And strumming patterns can evoke totally different responses from the rhythm section, based on their accents, textures, and tempos.  Jeremy's solid approach to the box makes my guitar playing better.He's also a guitarist, plays the ukulele, and has taken up the hammered dulcimer with tremendous grace and style.  So, his knowledge of these other instruments has really informed how he accompanies me as a percussionist.In addition to playing multiple instruments, Jeremy is an avid music listener who loves to attend live concerts and observe other musicians.  He has a vast playlist, and has frequently shared with me his experiences as an audience member at shows.The fact that he spends a lot of time listening is a really good indicator of his musicianship.  Listening is an essential part of our work, and I talk a lot about this in GuitarSuccess4U as well.Jeremy's skill set is worthy of respect, and he, too, is very humble, even when he gently reminds me from time to time that my tempos have unintentionally increased.Any time I collaborate with Jeremy, my rhythmic awareness is heightened, and when people watch us onstage, they sense a real synergy between us.The visual communication Jeremy and I share onstage is second to none.  I can look at him with a certain look, and he knows just what I'll be doing next, and certain songs have certain looks as well.  Our verbal communication onstage is almost unnecessary because he is so aware with his eyes and ears of what I'm doing, and as we jam, I become more aware of what he's doing…all to the improvement of the collective offering.I've had people thank me for bringing Jeremy into the mix, and I, too, am thankful, because I am “called up” to raise my game when we play.Sweet SongbirdMy eldest daughter, Madeline, whom I call Maddy, has a lovely voice, with tremendous intuition for vocal harmonies.  I've recently been taking her on the road with me for some shows, and any time I do, I don't regret it.In fact, people give me the impression that they're even gladder that she's there – and if it were just me, they'd be (slightly) less glad.On a ministry weekend recently, a pastor introduced us at the worship service by saying, “We're so grateful this morning to welcome guest musician Maddy Harsh…and she brought her dad.”  This was followed by lots of chuckles from the congregation, and I laughed out loud as well.When it comes to vocal harmonies, I'm not well-versed in how to artistically make them happen. I can listen to a harmony and tell you when it's not working, but when asked to sing a vocal harmony, I really have to work at it, so much so that if I have the luxury of time, I'll notate my harmonies and practice them.One time, as a contributor to a morning of worship where we took turns leading, I was asked on the spot by the worship leader to sing some harmonies below a female vocalist on a song that had some non-diatonic chords. I felt a bit like a deer in headlights, because the worship leader basically said, “Hey, can you just add some vocal harmonies on this?”  To me, it felt like he just trusted me to go for it, but I was not in my deep water at all.  It was a good exercise for me, because I had to just “lean in.” My harmonies came together, but it was a bit bumpy as I worked them out.Maddy has done so much singing – and listening – that she's quite aware of what's needed in terms of the vocal line.  Sometimes it's parallel motion, sometimes it's oblique motion, and sometimes it's just a pedal tone that lingers until it needs to resolve.Each situation demands a different approach, and Maddy is very aware of which approach tends to work better.  She also has excellent intonation.  And when our vocals line up in a song, it can be quite powerful.Most recently, on a tour, I played a ballad for which she offered harmonies, and people didn't even want to clap after the song was over.  They wanted the moment to linger.  Eventually they did clap, but the appreciation of what we did together was very evident.Maddy loves to sing.  She also loves to listen to music. She listens when we're driving, or when she's working around the house, or folding laundry.  She never misses an opportunity to just listen to music.  It is a heart language, especially for her, and there's a wide variety of artists she enjoys listening to.We are influenced by the types of music we take in, so Maddy's vocal styles can range from pop, to jazz, to medieval and renaissance music.  My stuff is more along the lines of folk/pop and contemporary worship, so she comes alongside my style beautifully.  When I sing with Maddy, I feel empowered to bring my best vocal delivery, because I know she'll be right on point with her singing.  And as we sing together, I feel “called up.”Productive ArtistryIn terms of musicianship, there is perhaps no greater venue for the intentional capturing of music than the recording studio.And having released four albums to date, I've become aware of a variety of approaches from producers I've worked with.  But one producer came across my path several years ago who broke the mold for me.Brian is a multi-instrumentalist with a degree in jazz composition, and in his words, he has “an absolute blasty” capturing music in the recording studio.So, when I had him over to my house for dinner and shared a few of my songs with him, he agreed to produce my album This Side of Heaven. Little did I know I was embarking on a tour de force of musical artistry, the likes of which I had never heard.We captured 11 songs, most of which were guitar-driven, and I watched and listened as my musical ideas took on a whole new level of production with Brian's incredible accents and undercurrents. I'm a live performer.  That's mostly what I do.  But to hear what Brian did in the studio with my songs was astounding.I captured a full-length expert interview with Brian in GuitarSuccess4U for my members to enjoy, and one of the many things we talked about was his desire in production to “re-engage the ear of the listener.”In Brian's words, after the listener has heard the verse, pre-chorus and chorus, they've pretty much experienced all the material for the song (with the exception of the bridge). So, the next time the verse, or even the chorus comes around, there's often a musical accent or audio “brush stroke” that Brian adds to help bring something new and fresh to the ears of the listener.This reengages their ears.  They hear things in a fresh way.  Even on multiple listens.I can't tell you how much I appreciate this, whether consciously or subconsciously. I could go back and focus on the songs for just this simple aspect, saying “Ooh – there's an electric guitar riff that noodles during the second verse that wasn't there for the first verse,” etc., but I'd rather just put it in “receive” mode and let my ears enjoy what Brian has put together.Did I mention that with the exception of me playing the guitar and a little piano and providing the lead vocal, Brian played absolutely everything else on the record?  I'm talking drums, bass, electric guitars, keys, Fender Rhodes, world music percussion, horns, backup vocal harmonies, and more.This takes a level of musical competence that I haven't seen anywhere else.  Usually, the producer will bring in other musicians to play these instruments.  Not Brian.  He plays them all, and he plays them very, very well.Embarking on a professional album with Brian was a labor of love that took several months and lots of focused effort, as well as expense.  But it was worth it – it's my best album to date.When they present a copy of their album to someone, some musicians offer an apology with their album – see Guitar Serious Fun Episode 14 - “From Paying to Play to Playing for Pay.”  I do not apologize.  Because I'm completely thrilled with the product.Recording This Side of Heaven was not just a positive experience – it was a learning experience on multiple fronts: my tempos got better, my guitar articulations became cleaner, my performance into the mic increased in its authenticity, and more.I came out on the other side with a collection of songs that had truly been enhanced by the process.Brian's production approach was super chill and put me at ease, while at the same time allowing me to be “called up” to a much higher standard than I realized I was even capable of.Common DenominatorsAs I look back at these four musicians – Jeff the saxophonist, Jeremy the aux percussionist, Maddy the vocalist and Brian the producer, I see several things about each of them that they have in common.First, they all love the Lord, which affects how and why they do what they do. Second, they're humble and teachable. Third, they're totally committed to ongoing growth as musicians. And fourth – and this is not really of consequence, but it's worth mentioning – all of these musicians are younger than I am.  A couple of them are much younger.Age is not necessarily an indicator of ability, nor does someone have to be older than you to be a positive artistic influence on you. All four of these musicians have super strong musical chops in certain areas where I don't have as much strength.  I know my areas of strength – and they include composition, creativity, onstage confidence, and a winsome way with an audience. It's important to know your areas of strength, but also areas where you know you can grow.And then, you can collaborate or interface with musicians who can help you in those areas.The Temptation to CompromiseMost of my discussion today has centered around being “called up,” because there's something tremendously exhilarating about being sharpened. And way back in Guitar Serious Fun Episode 3 - “Yeah Buddy,” we definitely focused on this.But I also want to take a moment to acknowledge the temptation each of us may have to “settle down” into what's super comfortable for us, and to avoid the risks that come with hard work and a challenge.But I don't think this is the best course of action, at least over the long term.  Sure, we can play what we know at times, and rest in that.  But to put ourselves in a passive posture does not lead to the musical growth that I believe leads to fulfillment as musicians and even worshipers.If we're being honest, we can just default to “phoning it in” and playing from the same collection of songs we've always played from.  We can tread water.  To me, it doesn't demonstrate the level of stewardship that the Lord invites us to embark on.Think of the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25.  Two of the servants doubled the talents they were entrusted with. But what did the third servant do?  He buried his talent. Basically, he kept it at the same value – and in some ways it lost value, because it didn't gain any interest.If I'm a songwriter, and I just keep playing the same chords and strumming patterns, never adding more to my palette of colors, I'm maintaining the status quo.If I'm a worship leader and I don't have any desire to develop my skills beyond a certain point, or to venture outside my community to be enhanced educationally, spiritually, or relationally by other worship leaders or guitarists, I can become stagnant.  This is “settling down,” and becoming complacent.It's not something I believe pleases the Lord.Heavenly WorkWhen our lives come to an end, if we have a saving knowledge of what Christ has done and have accepted this tremendous gift, we'll enter into His eternal kingdom in Heaven.Now some followers of Christ have a misguided perception that work will cease at that point, and that Heaven will be a place of, well, leisure.But work was part of God's design even before the fall of Adam and Eve.  It's my understanding that there will be good, worthy work in Heaven, and that we'll be able to lean into it, for the glory of God.What kind of work will it be?  Only our Heavenly Father knows, but He has always been faithful to guide us through His Word and His will, towards what is best for us.And my hope is that music will be a part of our work.  The music of Heaven will exceed all our earthly comprehension.  Even the best music here will pale in comparison.Gratitude for a ChallengeI can think of several instances where someone on my worship team stepped on board, and after a couple years of playing with me, they had a much better grasp of music on multiple fronts.The conversations I've had with them have gone something like this.I've asked them how worship team is going, and they've said, “Man, I had no idea all these musical concepts existed.  You've opened up an entire world of music to me and I'm a much better musician for it.”I've responded, “Has it been challenging at times?To which they have said something like, “Yes, but it's been totally worth it.  I love the results we're getting on the other side of all this hard work.  I'm not bored.  I feel like I'm a part of something bigger than me, and it's very fulfilling.”Serious fun, right?  Man, I can't tell you how satisfying it is to see someone raise their game for the glory of God and lean into it. At the end of the day, I'd rather have my head hit the pillow with me being poured out from a good challenge, than to lie down bored, and inwardly knowing that I didn't really pursue my potential.Wouldn't you?Today, we talked about the opportunity to be “called up” and the temptation to “settle down” on our musical journey.  Each of us has different levels of ability, and our skills can be developed for different seasons…but as long as our mindset is towards growth, we can claim those “wins” as we move forward.And if you're interested in opportunities to be “called up” and challenged with new insights, ideas, and approaches to better understanding the guitar and music for God's glory, please seriously consider joining

Most people don't even understand the most crucial aspect of fitness, strength. Avoiding competency in strength in hopes of not being "bulky" is a common mistake. People's aversion to this abstract bulkiness subsequently guarantees their perpetual lack of leanness and muscularity. In this podcast, I explain strength and how to achieve it effectively and efficiently. YEAH BUDDY!!

Yeah Buddy

Transcript included below…One of my absolute favorite two-word phrases is “Yeah buddy!”  To me, it's sort of a triumphant battle cry that says, “I'm all in,” or “Let's do this,” or “We were victorious.”  It's the kind of thing you say when you're presented with a seriously fun challenge that you know can be overcome with some hard work.  You also might say it when you've tackled said challenge, perhaps in a team setting.  Let's say you're in a band or on a worship team, and there's one song in the mix that everyone knows is a juggernaut.  It's one that's got a tricky key signature, a handful of alternating time signatures, or an unpredictable melody.  Nobody's talking about how difficult this song will be to play, but everyone's thinking about it.  It's sort of the elephant in the room.But the leader of the band – which could be you – calls the troops into battle as the song is rehearsed, and with diligence, excellent communication, and solid focus, the band steadily overcomes the obstacles and they lock in the song.Before long, the song is presented or led in front of an audience or congregation.  And perhaps the people experiencing that song from the auditorium don't really have a sense of how challenging the song has been for the band.  Technical songs like this can appear to be effortless, but we know better.  If a song is played well, it's likely that hard work has been a major part of the process of getting it to that level.And so, the difficult song is played or led, the people sing or applaud, the gathering concludes, and the people leave.  Everyone in the band puts away their gear, and the guitarists case their guitars.That's the time…for “Yeah buddy!”  That's when we put a stamp of victory on the completed project.There was a time when I said those two precious words after just about anything – after pouring myself a tasty beverage, getting a package in the mail containing some sweet new gear, or watching a fun movie.But those are not truly “Yeah buddy” moments, at least not in the fullest sense of the words.  The moments I'm talking about are seriously fun moments when our hard work pays off.Can we say “Yeah buddy” before we even begin working on a challenging song?  Sure, we can.  Does it also fit well when the song has been conquered?  Indeed it does.We can say it whenever we want…the important thing is to say it, and to fully grasp its significance.  But keep it special.  Reserve it for those times when a seriously fun musical challenge has been overcome.  Yeah buddy!P.S.

Official Hot Country Podcast Website: http://www.hotcountrypodcast.com   Chris McKay interviews ACM Award Winner Jeff Carson. Jeff shares insights to his humble beginnings, the road to Nashville and leaving country music to pursue his passion of becoming a Police Officer. Stories behind "Yeah Buddy", his first number 1 single "Not On Your Love", "Holdin On To Something", Real Life, award winning "The Car" and the re-release of "God Save The World. Recorded March 8, 2021 Episode Sponsored by: Surfshark and Passport America.   WIKI: Jeff Carson was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma and raised in Gravette, Arkansas. In his childhood, he played harmonica and guitar and sang in church. In high school, he and some friends formed a band. They won second place at a local talent show for performing the song "Seven Bridges Road". After graduating, he moved on to another talent competition held at a park in Rogers, Arkansas. The winner of that competition then asked Carson to play in his band, which he did for four years until the band split up. Carson later moved on to Branson, Missouri, where he found work playing bass guitar in local bands, in addition to writing songs. While in Branson, he met his then-future wife, who persuaded him to move to Nashville, Tennessee, which he did in 1989. In Nashville, he found work with a band that played at the Opryland Hotel, before convincing the hotel to book him as a solo act. He eventually recorded demos for other artists, before he was discovered by record producer Chuck Howard in 1994 and signed to Curb Records.   https://jeff-carson.com/store  https://www.facebook.com/OfficialJeffCarson https://jeff-carson.com   https://www.facebook.com/hotcountrypodcast https://www.hotcountrypodcast.com  https://www.facebook.com/OfficialChrisMcKay
