Here is another song to look at, it's in E, using only four chords. :)
Watch for the strumming, and listen for the dynamics. Different loudnesses at different times, using stronger or lighter strumming, to help push and direct the song where it needs to go.
Here is the PDF: Christ is Risen
thanks for watching!

About a month ago, I did a post on WHAT'S IN THE PELICANS. Here is the video:
We do a lot of different kinds of projects. Live audio, photography, video... that all require different tools for different applications. When it comes to video, we're pretty in love with what we have established, and what we can tackle with the gear that we have packed into a couple of cases in the back of a car.
Here is a quick look at what our gear looks like today. This is a bit simplified of course, but gives a feel for things at least:

My grandparents celebrated 65 years of marriage this past weekend, and we went over to Texas to join them. While we were there they asked me to get a few family photos, so I made a tripod out of an old wooden ladder and got to work. :)
I'll do a behind-the-scenes post on that ladder setup soon, but for now, here are the photos!
Family, if you're here looking for prints, you can click any photo below and it will take you to my Zenfolio photo site, where you can order prints and have them shipped to your home.

I have a bag full of tricks for just about anything, but one item in particular in my Audio bag of tricks are Rolls PM55.
These little boxes make In-Ear monitoring in reach for tons of people who do not want to use wireless systems.
Out of your analog or digital console, come out of an Aux send and use an XLR-TRS adapter. This will keep the signal balanced as it travels down the snake to the stage. Here is a great link to these adapters:
AudioPile Link: XLR TRS MALE Adapters
(by the way, I love these people, so much)
That will adapt your 1/4" balanced TRS signal coming from the board into a usable XLR cable. Run XLR cable to wherever you want the PM55 box to live, usually directly behind or in front of your performer, their preference. Once you're there, you'll need to convert the signal BACK into a TRS signal, so that the PM55 will see it at LINE level, NOT MIC level.
AudioPile Link: XLR TRS FEMALE Adapters
Now your signal has arrived at your PM55.
I'd like to pause for a second and make an important note. The PM55's are less than $70. This is an incredible value. Please don't stop there. Budget $130 per pack, so that you can outfit your packs with the accessories you need to actually pull this off, and pull it off well.
An important product to get at this point is going to be headphone extension cables. With wireless IEM packs, the pack sits on your belt, so your in-ears go right up your shirt. With these packs living on the floor, you'll want at least a 10ft extension cable to get the signal run back up to your belt area. Here is a link to some headphone extension cables that, after much searching, we have found to love:
CablesToGo Link: 12ft Headphone Extensions
The last thing to grab to complete your setup for each pack is going to be a OneSpot Power Adapter. In the past, Rolls has shipped Power Supplies with each PM55, but they are usually massive "Wall Warts" that take up half a power strip, and their cables are only about 5ft long, which won't get you far on stage unless you have power drops perfectly placed at each performer. These OneSpot power adapters from VisualSound are designed to not dominate power strip space, and they have longer reaching cables, so you can get to your performer's position, no matter where they place their pack.
So, here are our totals:
$70 - Rolls PM55
$10 - TRS-XLR Male Adapter
$10 - TRS-XLR Female Adapter
$20 - Headphone Extension Cable
$20 - OneSpot Power Adapter
So, with these accessories, and the amazing PM55 from Rolls, you can have in-ear monitoring for a 4-piece worship band at about the price of one wireless in-ear monitoring system.
We have had a lot of success with these. I'd be happy to answer any questions on these, so feel free to get a hold of me. :)
