Beginner Having a bit of trouble.....
« on: August 08, 2005, 03:34:52 PM »
Hello all, I've been playing around on the keyboard for a while, but I had never played gospel music until a year ago.  I've never had any type of training and I've basically taught myself everthing I know.  I've been playing for my church and I do okay but I sound nothing like other gospel keyboardist.  I'm their only option right now,but  I'm having a hard time playing the simple ol' time gospel songs like "Praise the Lord everybody", "Run don't look back" and "In the moring when I rise" to name a few.  I know basically the same bass line and chords can be played for all of these songs but I don't know what those chords are.  If anyone out there is familiar with any of these songs, I would really appreciate any help you can give me.  Just the basic bass line and chords will be fine in a simple key like "C".  Thank you and God bless.[/b]
