its me again standing in the need of HELP!!!!

[MsB3]

ok yawl i know yawl probably gettin tired of my questions but i have one more!!!

like i said im a beginner and i noticed when im playing certain songs like

I love you Lord today or bless the Lord oh my soul
that i always use the same progressions and it gets so boring and irritating

example: when i get to the "thats why my heart is filled with praise" part, i always use the same old 1-6-2-5-1 progression

or "bless His ho-oh-oh-oh ly name" part i use the 1-6-2-5-1

and it sounds so predictable man does any one know any alternatives so my music wont sound so ughhh!!????? please help thanks

Here is a simple one you can use right away. This is in Ab.


DGb \ CFBb
BbFAb \ BbDbFAb

CE \ BbEbAb ...why
EbA \ EbAbC ...my
DAb \ FBbDb ...heart is filled with
GF \ BbDFBb ... (with) *play the melody then play this chord just after
AbFAb \ BbCEbAb ... praise


Here a version of Bless the Lord:

BbFAb \ EbAbC ... Bless
CEBb \ DbGbBb ... His
DbFAb \ BbCEbAb ... Hoooo

DGb \ CF (passing chords)
Gb (same Gb above) \ CFBb

BbFAb \ DbFAbC ...ly

They're just 2-5-1 progressions, filled up to 2-3-4-5-1. A few of the chords don't have the bass notes in them.

For a turnaround all you have to do is the same chords you know or those that I posted with one of these interjected at the end (before you go back to the beginning):


Disonant:
EBb \ EbGBb
GbC \ FAC

(bass note could be D, F or G)

or

Straightforward:
DC \ GbCF (grace note on the Bb)

(bass could be DC or A, if you're feeling weird you can do ADb)

or

Disonant:
G (just below the right hand chord) \  AbDG
F \ GbCF
Eb \ EBbEb (melody note Db just after chord)

(bass could be D, G, or A)


It may take you a second to get used to the sound of the last one.
 :wink:


As you can see though, they're all pretty simple chords. Nothing fancy (fat), and all except for the middle one doesn't have any bass notes played.
