Wow! I listen to that song a thousand times or so and i didn't even get close to that. How did you figure it out? By hear or by sheet music?I was just curious. You are a very talented cat.

[T-Block]

I did this song using my ear and progressions.  I wanted to get sheet music for this song, but that WOW Gospel 2005 cost like $25, and I would rather figure it out then pay that much.  Sheet music is expensive these days.

[jayfar]

That's interesting. Let me ask you this, shoud I concentrate more on learning progessions or learning songs? If I learn progessions will i be able to translate it directly into modern gospel songs. Think you and God bless.

[T-Block]

I say concentrate more on progressions cuz once u know the progression, you can play it in any key, assuming you have practed progressions in every key.  If you practice them enough, you should start to recognize them in modern gospel songs today and even some of the old stuff from the 90's.  Now that I got all this knowledge of chord progressions, I find myself going back and listening to old 1994 - 1999 CDs from John P. Kee, Hezekiah Walker, etc. and I actually recognize the chord progressions they use and I be learning all them old songs.

[jayfar]

Thank you for responding I really appreciated it. I have gotten away from practicing my progressions b/c they were becoming boring and redundent. Thank you for the redirection I will give it a try.

[T-Block]

I know what u mean about it becoming boring and not wanting to practice.  I got real slack on practicing my progressions also.  Then i got put in a situation where the people was singing in a key I wasn't comfortable with, then I had to reach back and think about them progressions cuz that keyboard didn't have a transpose button.  Needless to say, I got focused immediately on getting back to the basics.  Also, remember u can't just do it in key then stop, u have to force yourself to go through every key.  That's the only way u can become a true bonafide musician.  If you don't use it, you will lose it, trust me!!!

[sporty_43607]

Thanks T-Block!

I used my ear to figure this song out and am happy to say I was almost on point with what you posted.  My inversions may be a little different but I was very much on point!  A few chords that I couldn't make out I now have thanks to your post! :lol:

I thank God for your gift and contribution to this site

[singr425]

Hey T-Block, I'm still learning every key and progressions... so, could you post this with the progression numbers? I'm just trying to learn how to hear/point out progrssions in songs...
