Do you mean start on each of those notes and play a minor chord? Or, do mean alternate between major and minor chords as you go down?
Well, for those of you having trouble playing congregational songs, this post is for you. Here is something for yall to practice to get u used to playing congregational songs. You should practice this in every key: Alternate minor 1 and minor 2 chords Key Eb Db-Gb-Bb or Eb-Gb-Bb (start high on keyboard, go all the way down, go all the way back up) C-F-Ab Bb-Eb-Gb Ab-C-F Gb-Bb-Eb F-Ab-C (repeat) Alternate major 1 and minor 2 chords Key EbEb-G-Bb (start high on keyboard, go all the way down, go all the way back up) C-F-Ab Bb-Eb-G Ab-C-F G-Bb-Eb F-Ab-C (repeat) Various Bass LinesKey EbEb, G, Ab, A, Bb, C, Db, D, EbEb, F, Gb, G, Ab, C, Db, D, EbEb, G, Bb, C, Db, C, Bb, G, EbEb, G, Bb, A, Ab, C, Db, D, Eb Eb, Db, Bb, A, Ab, C, Db, D, Eb Eb, C, Bb, A, Ab, C, Db, D, Eb Eb, F, Gb, Bb, Ab, C, Db, D, Eb Eb, F, Gb, G, Ab, Gb, F, Fb, EbEb, F, Gb, G, Ab, G, Ab, A, Bb, Db, Eb, Gb, Ab, C, Db, D, EbBb, Cb, C, Gb, F, Cb, Bb, Bb, EbBb, A, Bb, Cb, C, Cb, Bb, Ab, A, C, Eb, Gb, F, Eb, C, EbEb, Db, C, Gb, F, C, Bb, C, Db, D, Eb Bassline for fast praise songs like "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah" Glory C, E, G, A, C, Bb, A, G Glory, Halle- C, E, G, A, C, Bb, A, G lujah, since I F, A, C, A, F (2x), F# (2x) laid my burden G, G#, A, D#, D, G#, G, B down, Glory C, E, G, A, C (2x), D, C Glory, Halle- B (2x), E (2x), A, E, F, F# lujah, since I G, G#, A, D#, D, G#, G, B laid my burden C, E, F, F#, G down (leader) I laid my burden C, D, D#, E, down, (congregation) laid my burden F, A, A#, B down (leader) I laid my burden C, D, D#, E down, (congregation) laid my burden F, E, F, F#, down, (leader) I laid my burden G, A#, C, F# down, (congregation) laid my burden G, A, A#, B down, (leader) I laid my burden Bassline for fast praise songs like "Victory Is MineC, E, F, F# Victory is G, A, A#, B mine C, E, F, F# Victory is G, A, A#, B mine C, B, C, C# Victory to- D, E, F, F# day is G (2x), D (2x) mine G (2x), A (2x) ohhhh D, E, F, F# I told G, G#, A (2x) Satan D, E, F, F# get thee be- G, G#, A (2x) hind me E (2x), F Victory to- D, G day is C, E, F, F#, G mine C, D, D#, E, F, A, A#, B (leader) It's mine, (congregation) it's mineBassline and chords for songs like "God Is Not Dead", "I'm A Soldier", etc. Key Eb LH/RH Part 1: Eb, G / Db-Gb-Bb God is Ab, A / C-F-Ab not Bb, C / Bb-Eb-Gb dead Db, D / C-F-Ab Eb, G / Bb-Eb-Gb He's Ab, A / Ab-C-F yet a- Bb (2x) / Gb-Bb-Eb live A (2x) / G-B-Db-Eb ohhh *Ab / Gb-Bb-C-Eb God is not dead *u can bounce this note, or do the following bassline C, Db, D, Eb / is not dead F, Gb, G / Ab (2x) / Gb-Bb-C-Eb or Ab (2x) / C-Gb-Bb He's Gb (2x) / E-Bb-Eb yet a- F (2x) / Eb-A-Eb or F (2x) / Eb-A-Db live Bb (2x) / D-Ab-Eb or Bb (2x) / D-Ab-Db ohhh (repeat) *Ab / Gb-Bb-C-Eb God is not dead *u can bounce this note, or do the following bassline C, Db, D, Eb / F, Gb, G / Ab (2x) / Gb-Bb-C-Eb He's A (2x) / Gb-A-C-Eb (2x) yet a- Bb / G-Bb-Eb live C / / Gb ohhh Db / G, Bb D / C, Eb (repeat) *Ab / Gb-Bb-C-Eb God is not dead *u can bounce this note, or do the following bassline C, Db, D, Eb / F, Gb, G / Ab (2x) / Gb-Bb-C-Eb He's A (2x) / Gb-A-C-Eb yet a- Bb (2x) / F-Ab-C-Eb live Bb (2x) / Ab-Bb-D-Gb ohhh (repeat) Part 2: (leader) He's not Eb / Db-Gb-Bb dead F, Gb, G / (congregation) He's not Ab / C-F-Ab dead C, Db, D / (leader) He's not (repeat) On this part, basically u just alternate playing minor 1 (Eb-Gb-Bb) and minor 2 (F-Ab-C) chords while running Eb bass line (Eb, F, Gb, G, Ab, C, Db, D). Of course, you can experiment using different inversions of those chords.Bassline and chords for songs like "Victory Is Mine", "Somebody Prayed For Me", etc. Key Eb LH/RHPart 1: Eb / Bb-Eb-G Vic- G / Bb-Eb-G to- / Bb-Eb-G ry Ab / / Ab-C-F is A / / G-Bb-Eb mine Bb, C, Db, D / (repeat) Eb / Bb-Eb-G Vic- D / to- / Bb-Eb-G ry Eb / / Bb-Eb-G to- E / / A-C-Eb-G day F, G / Ab, A / A-C-Eb-G is Bb (2x) / Bb-D-F mine F (2x) / A-C-Eb-G Bb, B / Bb-D-F C, Gb / Bb-C-E-G F, G / C-Eb-F-Ab I Ab / C-Eb-F-Ab told A / Bb-Eb-G / Bb-D-F Satan Bb, B / C, Gb / Bb-C-E-G (repeat) G / Db-Gb-Bb (2x) Victory Ab / C-F-Ab to- F / A-C-Eb-Gb day Bb / Ab-C-Eb is Eb / G-Bb-Eb mine Turnaround: G / G-Bb-Eb Ab / Ab-C-Eb A / Gb-A-C-Eb Bb / G-Bb-Eb Bb / Ab-Bb-D-Gb (repeat from beginning) Gb / E-Bb-Eb F / Eb-A-Eb Bb / D-Ab-Eb Eb / Db-G-C-Eb Both hands: Bb, C, Bb, C (repeat from beginning) Part 2: (leader) Ohhh, it's Eb / Db-Gb-Bb mine F, Gb, G / (congregation) It's mine, (leader) It's Ab / C-F-Ab mine C, Db, D / (congregation) It's mine (repeat) After every 3rd time u play the chords above, u can do this special part: C, Eb, D / (congregation) It's mine, (leader) It's Db (2x) / F-B-Eb (2x) mine, (congregation) It's Gb (2x) / E-Bb-Eb (2x) mine, (leader) It's F (2x) / Eb-A-Eb (2x) or F (2x) / Eb-A-Db (2x) mine, (congregation) It's Bb (2x) / D-Ab-Eb (2x) or Bb (2x) / D-Ab-Db (2x) mine, (leader) It's (repeat from Part 2) Somebody asked me for a time count next to the song to get an idea for the rhythm. So, here it is: 4/4 time count in [ ] Part 1:[1] Eb / Bb-Eb-G Vic- [2] G / Bb-Eb-G to- / Bb-Eb-G ry [3] Ab / / Ab-C-F is [4] A / / G-Bb-Eb mine [1, 2, 3, 4] Bb, C, Db, D / (repeat) [1] Eb / Bb-Eb-G Vic- [2] D / to- / Bb-Eb-G ry [3] Eb / / Bb-Eb-G to- [4] E / / A-C-Eb-G day [1, 2] F, G / [3, 4] Ab, A / A-C-Eb-G is [1, 2] Bb (2x) / Bb-D-F mine [3, 4] F (2x) / A-C-Eb-G [1, 2] Bb, B / Bb-D-F [3, 4] C, Gb / Bb-C-E-G [1, 2] F, G / C-Eb-F-Ab I [3] Ab / C-Eb-F-Ab told [4] A / Bb-Eb-G / Bb-D-F Satan [1, 2] Bb, B / [3, 4] C, Gb / Bb-C-E-G (repeat) [1, 2, 3] G / Db-Gb-Bb (2x) Victory [4] Ab / C-F-Ab to- [1, 2] F / A-C-Eb-Gb day [3, 4] Bb / Ab-C-Eb is [1] Eb / G-Bb-Eb mine Turnaround: [2] G / G-Bb-Eb [3] Ab / Ab-C-Eb [4] A / Gb-A-C-Eb [1] Bb / G-Bb-Eb [2, 3, 4] Bb / Ab-Bb-D-Gb (repeat from beginning) Gb / E-Bb-Eb F / Eb-A-Eb Bb / D-Ab-Eb Eb / Db-G-C-Eb Both hands: Bb, C, Bb, C (repeat from beginning) Part 2: (leader) Ohhh, it's [1] Eb / Db-Gb-Bb mine [2, 3, 4] F, Gb, G / (congregation) It's mine, (leader) It's [1] Ab / C-F-Ab mine *go to special part from here [2, 3, 4] C, Db, D / (congregation) It's mine (repeat) After every 3rd time u play the chords above, u can do this special part: [2, 3, 4] C, Eb, D / (congregation) It's mine, (leader) It's [1, 2] Db (2x) / F-B-Eb (2x) mine, (congregation) It's [3, 4] Gb (2x) / E-Bb-Eb (2x) mine, (leader) It's [1, 2] F (2x) / Eb-A-Eb (2x) or F (2x) / Eb-A-Db (2x) mine, (congregation) It's [3, 4] Bb (2x) / D-Ab-Eb (2x) or Bb (2x) / D-Ab-Db (2x) mine, (leader) It's (repeat from Part 2) Basically, what u doing is following the bass notes. Each bass note acts like a quarter note, so it gets one beat. So, start learning the bass part first and once u get it going, add in the chords.If someone could make this a sticky in one of the rooms, I think that would be helpful since thise question comes up a whole lot!!!
