FRONT TO BACK PROGRESSIONS.....

[aljeres]

Let’s look at some common prgressions; done the way I do them……..


Key;Ab
CHORDED BY ALGIERES
LH = LEFT HAND
RH = RIGHT HAND
…… = CONTINUATION OF CHORD
( # ) =   FLATTED NBR,


OK LET’S GET STARTED….

THIS IS KNOWN AS A 1 TO THE 4 WALK AND IT’S COMMON, BUT NOT SO MUCH LIKE THIS….THIS IS HOW I MIGHT DO IT……I HAVE SEVERAL WAYS!!!!

LH/RH

AbCEb/GBbCEb – 1

BbF/AbCC#F – 2

CEBb/CEbAb – 3

C#FAb/CEbFAb – 4


NOW, LET’S DO A 2 TO THE 5 PROGRESSION….MY WAY!

BbF/AbCC#F – 2

CG/BbDEbG – 3

C#FAb/CEbFAb – 4

DAb/CDFAb – ( 5 )

EbGBb/C#FBb – 5


NOW LET’S TURN AROUND WITH THE WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE 3 TO 6 PROGRESSION!!!!

START WITH THESE INDIVIDUAL NOTES…..DO WITH BOTH HANDS….

LH/RH

Eb, D, C#, …….

CG/BbCEG – 6

CAb/CDFAb – ( 5 )

Ebb/C#EFBb – ( 6 )

FAbC/EbGBb – 6

NOW WE WILL HEAD TO THE HOUSE WITH A WHAT IS KNOWN AS; A 3- 6 – 2 PROGRESSION….. WHICH IS A BRIDGE TYPE OF PROGRESSION…….

CBb/EAbBbEb…..C#     ( SLIDE LAST FINGER TO LEFT TO  C# )- 3

FEb/AC#EbAb….F#        SAME AS OTHER!  -- 6

BbC#F/AbCEb…..F  (  SLIDE LAST FINGER RT, FOR   F )  -- 2

AND NOW WE WANT TO GO HOME WITH A COMMON 2-5-1 PROGRESSION…


BbAb (IN THIS ORDER )/ C#FAbC – 2

EbGBb/C#FGC  -- 5

AbG/CEbGBb – 1

NOW YOU HAVE TO GET USE TO THE SOUND; BUT IF YOU KEEP DOING IT, YOU’LL GET USED TO IT!!!!!!!!!! DON’T QUIT ON YOURSELF!!!

REMEMBER, YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TIME TO USE EVERY CHORD WHEN PLAYING, BECAUSE TIME IS ALWAYS A FACTOR......SOME TIMES I HAVE TO CUT THOSE PROGRESSIONS SO I CAN GET TO WHERE I AM GOING FASTER, WITH OUT MAKING MISTAKES.......YOU HAVE TO PICK WHERE YOU WOULD BREAK IT AT.....I USE THESE CHORDS IN SOLOS......A LOT, BECAUSE YOU HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO USE FILLERS.   ON DEVOTIONALS.....YOU HAVE TIME AS WELL LIKE I LOVE YOU, IN THE NAME OF JESUS!!! IF YOU LOOK AT THECHORD PROGRESSION, THEY ARE TAKING YOU TO A KEY POINT OF SONG... THE 1-4-5-6-2-5-1.......SO YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHERE THE SONG IS GOING....THEN YOU CAN DETERMINE HOW YOU WANT TO USE THESE PROGRESSIONS....IT TAKES A LOT OF PRACTICE...... BE BLESSED...IMA DO A SMALL VIDEO OR A MIDI OR SOMTHING TO SHOW YOU HOW IT WOULD GO.....BE BLESSED...
