Playing Chords
« on: March 17, 2008, 05:48:20 PM »
alot of people don't know but this is helpful when playing chords. when playing chords, don't play the root note of the chord split it up. what I meant is this

Example C/CEGB

instead play this
C/EGB

or this example

C/CEbGBbD

play this chord

CEb/GBbD

or play this
C/EbGBbD

because it allows you to have more options when playing the keyboard or piano I learn this from Johnathon from his video gospel keys 600.

for example if you are playing this progression 5-1-4 in the key of F

it would be C-F-Bb

Now you would probably play this progression with the scale degree 5 would be major, 1 would be a Major 4 would be a major.

Instead of playing these chords

C/CEGBbD
F/FACEG
Bb/BbDFAbC

You could play it like this

C/EGBbD
F/EGAC
Bb/FAbCD

it teaches you inversions and allows you to Stretch the chord out more here is another one

7-3-6 in the key of B

Bb Eb Ab

it would be in the scale degree 7=diminished chord 3=minor chord and 6=minor chord

so instead of playing
Bb/BbDbEGb
Eb/EbGbBbDb
Ab/AbBDbF

you can play it like this

Bb/DbEGb
Eb/DbGbBb
Ab/DbFB

I give more on this lesson later
