Hi Chev,

I enjoyed your playing as it showed playing skill and had a catchy upliftiing progression and beat. I didn't like the sound(voice or patch) that much, though, as I like my organ sounds somewhat deeper and maybe fuller(could be my computer speakers). I could certainly step around to the collection table to that music.

Thanks Berbie this means a lot to me. I hate that sound too that's not my main keyboard so it does suck...LOL

O.K., first let me say that it's great you're finally coming out of your shell and letting the online world hear u on the keys. This is a big accomplishments, so kudos to you.

I have to say that I love the progression you chose. It's very creative, easy to loop, and definitely has that get-up-and-move feel to it. What I would challenge u to do is re-record this using either a different sound or a lower octave of playing. That screeching organ sound is kinda hard to ignore and really give some accurate feedback, as far as the chords ur playing. I think a piano sound would do nicely, wit a nice bass in the left hand.

I like what I'm hearing so far. Keep up the good work Von Von!!!

Much better.

Now, all u need to do is work on making it smoother. Let each chord melt into the next chord like a nice pot of gumbo or chili, lol. It seems like ur hands aren't as together as they should be. It's cool though, that comes with time and more practice. Keep it going Von Von!!!

It always means a lot to hear a beast like yourself and T comment on my little playing...LOL. Seriously though, I want to play more like you guys which is why I kind of hid my playing. It's easy to be intimidated when you're among professors of the craft.

If I may offer some suggestions you can add to your chords. A good melody line goes a long way with chord placement.

Hold to His Hand

Lyric:...... Time... is.... filled...with....swift... trans...it.....ion,....naught on earth un moved can stand
melody:...Eb......Eb.....Eb.......C........Bb. ........C......Eb...Eb,......G..........G...G......F...Eb.........G.....Bb

When following a melody line you can picture what chords are availabe to you as the melody progresses. Your chords for the first lyrics were placed correctly until the last lyric.

bass note highlighted / chords:(1) Eb7 = Eb / G Db / G Bb C Eb resolve your chords around this chord then add this transition before "naught" (3)(G / D F / B Eb F G)
.............(6) C min7 = C / Eb C Eb G (naught on earth un..) resolve at "moved" (2) (F / Eb / A D Eb G) un-moved can....to your 5 chord (stand)(5) Bb / D Ab / D G Bb

Try playing the melody line, then add the chords with the meldoy then add your chords like a good stew

These chords can be added to what you're already playing now.

I am so honored that you took time to provide these nuggets of wisdom. I will work on this and post another clip. I can't tell you how much this means to me. Which is why I love LGM!!

He sure is!! And you know you're beastly too.

I made a huge step by posting these clips because I was paralyzed with fear but now I actually feel much better. I will post a clip of me playing at church with my MO8 and my drummer. So stay tuned. If you want to be the best, you must learn from the best which is why I love this site. Thanks again so much for all of the comments and help you've provided.
