A series of short clips of various songs of different styles showing different techniques and what not for my audition at Mars Hill Church | OC.
This is exactly what I'll be playing during my audition there.
Songs are
*Dream Theater - On the Backs of Angels (Rhythm and odd meters, precision)
*Dream Theater - Sacrificed Sons (Rhythm, precision and added beats)
*Jesus Culture - Burning Ones (Lead lines, Power Chords, Chord inversion on the higher strings...more restrained playing)
*Bethel Church Live/Jeremy Riddle - Furious (Three note chord inversions, effects, lead melodic lines)
*Maroon 5 - This Love (Groovy rhythms, more complex chords such as dominants, minor 7 chords and chords in inversion)
*Incubus - Drive (Acoustic song with more complex chords such as dominant, major 7, minor 7 chords, etc.)
*Mauro Giuliani - Study in E Minor Op. 48 No. 5 (Classical guitar piece with finger picking technique)
*Random chords I picked out to show more simple acoustic playing then three note chord inversions arpeggiated and melodic lines added in along with harmonics.
Talk about a sprint! Phew! I have a couple parts to tighten up, but I think I'll be able to pull this off for the audition!
Mars Hill Church is located in the Orange County area of Southern California. It is based out of Seattle, Washington and was founded by Pastor Mark Driscoll.

@macray61 It went well. I was a bit nervous and it was hard to hear the backing track at first when I started the audition, but I evened out pretty quickly.
I'm still waiting for information on whether I made it, but Dustin is really busy and has a lot on his plate, so it may take a little bit, but that's okay. I'm just thankful that I'm able to be at a great church at Mars Hill.
