I would have to agree with T-Block!!! The fastest church song that I have really heard was " If We Faint Not" by Ricky Dillard!!! But jazz does help alot and classical also!!!

Try to listen to Ricky Dillard, James Hall & Worship&Praise. Also visit other churches to listen to the music that is sung there.

Pray this helps; Be blessed

I would definitely agree with the jazz and classical advice. I started out being classically trained and I played in jazz bands althrough high school and college and it all was very beneficial.

Also as far as cds go, check out both of Norman Hutchins's cds ("Battlefield" and "Nobody But You"). Man that's some good ole' Sunday morning, holy ghost, foot stompin, toe tappin, praise music right there. They will definitely be a blessing to your playing AND your spirit.
