Has anyone ever heard a song that starts out, "What He's done for me, is so amazing, the love He has for me, I cannot explain...All I know is I once was lost, but now I'm found, I was blind but now I see..." Something like that... The chorus starts with "Amazing Love..." Does anyone have a clue as to what this song title is or how to play it...I heard it a while back and have been trying to find it, NO LUCK.. Thanks in advance.. Be Blessed.

If you cant play the video, just download whatever they say you need. is it java or flash player? do a google search for the updated version

Completely agreed.

Chick wants $30 for the performance trax of the album on which this song happens to be.

In this case yeah. When you see a chord written like EbM7, then the bass note is the root. But, if you see the same chord written like EbM7/G, the bass note is not the root. The bass note is the note written to the right of the slash, which would be the G. Example:

EbM7 = Eb / Eb-G-Bb-D

EbM7/G = G / Eb-G-Bb-D

Yessir!

godservant · « **Reply #14 on:** April 29, 2009, 04:57:35 AM »

T-Block, how would that apply to the way this songs is written out? I don't see any "notes" by themselves to indicate bass notes...??

T-Block, how would that apply to the way this songs is written out?   I don't see any "notes" by themselves to indicate bass notes...??

Basically, if u don't see any slashes, then the first note of the chord symbol is the bass note.  Examples:

Eb = Eb major chord, Eb in the bass (Eb / Eb-G-Bb)
EbM7 = Eb major 7th chord, Eb in the bass (Eb / Eb-G-Bb-D)

If you see a slash, the note on the right is the bass note.  Examples:

Eb/G = Eb major chord, G in the bass (G / Eb-G-Bb)
EbM7/G = Eb major 7th chord, G in the bass (G / Eb-G-Bb-D)

What I mean by notes by themselves is no slashes.  Check this link out for more help with chords symbols:
http://forums.learngospelmusic.com/index.php/topic,27648.msg193581.html#msg193581

So, for the other chords, u would have this:

Abmaj7 = Ab major 7th chord, Ab in the bass
Abm7 = Ab minor 7th chord, Ab in the bass
Bbm7 = Bb minor 7th chord, Bb in the bass
Eb7 = Eb dominant 7th chord, Eb in the bass
Bb7 = Bb dominant 7th chord, Bb in the bass
Db9 = Db dominant 9th chord, Db in the bass
Cm7 = C minor 7th chord, C in the bass
F7 = F dominant 7th chord, F in the bass
Fm7 = F minor 7th chord, F in the bass

For help with the notes of these chords, check out these links:

Chord Chart:  http://www.learngospelmusic.com/forums/index.php/topic,43117.0.html

Basic Music Theory:  http://www.learngospelmusic.com/forums/index.php/topic,30189.0.html (scroll down to where it talks about chord forming)

Once u get good at interpreting chord symbols, u will be able to read lead sheets.

Now, in order to get the chords to sound like the CD, u gonna have to play the right inversions.  U get that from knowing the melody notes.  The melody notes will be the top note of the chord, then u chord underneath that note.

Hope this helps!!!

godservant · « **Reply #16 on:** May 02, 2009, 02:56:49 PM »

T-Block, am I crazy for not being able to read that sytle of chord posting??? I've tried to play the song and it doesn't sound close??? I took your advice, even wrote it down, and still not "hearing" it...??

T-Block · « **Reply #17 on:** May 02, 2009, 05:22:02 PM »

Well, I haven't even heard this song. So, I can't really tell if it's right or wrong. Maybe u should be asking U14 how to use his chords.

T-Block · « **Reply #18 on:** May 02, 2009, 06:07:12 PM »

O.K., I've listened to the song (what I could find), and U14's chords are pretty much accurate. It would probably help if u had words to go with them. I'll put them by the verse so u can see how to play them:

Verse:

Bbm7
Eb7 What He's
Abmaj7 done for me,
Bb7 is so a-
Ebmaj7 mazing,
(repeat)

Bbm7 all I
Eb7 know is I
Abmaj7 once was lost, but
Db9 now I'm foud, I was
Cm7 blind, but now I
F7 see, and I know He will
Fm7 do for you
Bb7 what He's done for
Ebmaj7 me,

So, I'll help you with the first 5 chords, then u can get the hang of it and finish it:

Bbm7 = Bb / Ab-Db-F
Eb7 = Eb / G-Bb-Db-Eb What He's
Abmaj7 = Ab / Ab-C-Eb-G done for me,
Bb7 = Bb / Ab-D-F is so a-
Ebmaj7 = Eb / Bb-D-G mazing,
(repeat)

Does it make more sense now?

Try to keep in mind that not everybody plays songs exactly like the CD. Some people post their interpretation of the song. The posted chords are supposed to be used as a guide to play the song, not the end all, be all of chording.

Even if someone's chords aren't like the song, u can at least learn the pattern and get a general feel for what's going on. Every chord post is useful, even the ones that don't sound exactly right.

Thank you so much for your help...if you only knew how much your chording has helped my playing...Our church (entire church) is grateful to you because without this site and your help we'd be in trouble!!! You are a Godsend.... Did you ever figure any of the chords out to "God Favored Me" by Hezekiah?? I have all the bass notes now, and am only missing a few chords...I took your advice and really got my ear tuned up!! I'd like to compare my chords/bass with you..
