Man dude, you caught me on a good day! I just had my breakthrough about 5 hours ago and now I'm ready to share it! Just gimme a minute to look this up in my note book
. But basically, playing the acompaniment is backing up the singer, as I said in a recent post. I can show you flat basic cause thats all I know :lol: So, bear with me, I'm gonna try and explain the best that I can.
As you play a song, their is a certain pattern of chord change, depending on what key your in. I'm gonna use C# as an example. The changes for C# would be going from C#, to F#, to G#. So, depending on what song your playing, you would use those notes inverted into any chord, depending on what the singer is singing. I don't have my keyboard in front of me, cause it is temporarily out of commision
, so I'm gonna try and do a song by memory and see if that I'll help you out.
Lets say your playing a simple devotion song, such as "Glory Glory Hallejuiah" (man I could never spell that word :oops: )
We'll pretend that the singer is singing in C, cause thats a real simple key. The key changes for C would be C, F, and G. So as far as chords, for your C chord, lets use C-E-G, your F chord be F-G-A-C and your G chord be G-B-D.
SO your singer is singing in this key (I think we covered that :lol: ). Now remember, I'm doing this COMPLETLY by memory, so if something doesn't sound right, let me know.
F - Glory Glory
F - Hallejuiah
G - Since I
F - Laid my
F - Burdens
C - Down
It would go something like that, except those notes played with your chords. That does not look right to me at all, though, and I wish I had my keyboard working so I could check it for you
.
Now if you want to know the RIGHT way how to do it, you should talk to Aljeres. He has a sight somewhere with clips of him showing how to do this kind of thing. He actually has one that he just recently posted with him explaining something similar to what I said, except on a WAY more advanced level. I'm just trying to help so I can finally say I helped put something into the Lord's work. And all others, feel free to correct me, I like being told when I'm wrong, stops me from lookin' like a fool =p
Be Blessed!
