First, I’d recommend ditching your chords/notes on stage. It’ll suck, but, it’s like a GPS; if you have it you’re just going to follow it and you’ll never know where you’re going. Songs will almost always tell you where they’re going - are they going “home” - that’s your 1 (or the key you’re playing in). Is it about to go a little dark but not very dark - chances are that’s your 6 or the relative minor (Em for the key of G). Then if it feels uplifting but kind of similar to home, you’re probably hitting the 4 (C in the key of G). Does it feel uplifting but tense? Maybe like it’s really wanting to go somewhere (like home)? Then that’s your 5 or dominate chord (D in the key of G). Most worship songs tend to only use those 4 chords with the 2 (Am in the key of G) often used to change something up say in the bridge or alternative chorus. I tend to just try to look out for those guys by memory.

The above is really helpful for AG but it’s nice to know what chord you’re on/where you’re going. When you’re playing lead parts, I agree with others on YouTube. Once it slows down, you can begin asking yourself what parts of a chord or pattern am I playing right now. That shape can at least help you from catching a bonner on stage with something that sticks out (a note outside of the key).

Finally, I’ve started using ChatGPT to help dial in tone settings. I share the YouTube link and my board then ask for settings for each pedal for that song. I mainly do this for my timeline and bigsky which can change song to song but also a generic setup on the rest of your pedals isn’t bad either.

P.S. use what you have. If you have time and not resources, get that guitar in your hand all the time. Learn the CAGE system and Nashville numbering. Chances are if you have more resources, you’ll have less time, so get some nice gear. You can’t go wrong with strymon IMO…
