How many times have you barely survived a soundcheck because you came unprepared?

For me, the number is 4753634252354986. Preparation is the key to not only playing the set well but also growing as a musician. But, like so many things in life…

There are right ways and wrong ways to go about preparation.

Nick Mayer, guitar player for the Christian southern rock artist Zach Williams & a regular around here, shared with us everything he does to prepare for a set. Not all of it is just sitting down with his instrument & playing through the songs either.

In fact, there are a lot of things he does besides just playing along with the song.
