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.

[...] Wouldn’t you know it though that it’s during this one service when the whole church is around that I felt it was my duty to biff it. In all actuality it really wasn’t that bad unless you’re the guy who had to go through it. Man, now I feel like I made it bigger than it really is… ya know what? I’m not gonna tell what happened. So those of you who go to my church, if you feel like leaving a comment and telling people what happened… go right ahead but not me. I’m not tellin’….. At least it wasn’t as bad as this. [...]

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!!!
