help with simple chord progression
« on: September 11, 2005, 07:34:34 PM »
HI Guys,

I just want to thank you for your prompt responses the last time I posted a message. You are truly doing the work of God via this website. May he bless you and give you more knowledge to share.

I need help now in knowing the chord progression as simple as possible. Fopr example I know if I am playing in c: I will find G/F?Em/Am/D can you guys tell me a website that tell me about that or would you please take your time to write it down for me.

Believe me, I take my time to read it. I will print it and have it on me the whole time till I memorize it all.

Thanks so very much for your help!

In Christ

Okay, if I understand your question correctly in the key of C you will play the following chords:

1 C
2 D minor
3 E minor
4 F
5 G
6 A minor
7 B diminshed

Now, you will want to play inversions of these chords for the smoothest sound. This is called minimal movement. For example, a 251 progression in the key of C might be like this:

D / D F A C  (D minor 7)
G / D G B  (G major)
C / E G C  (C major)

This is an example of minimal movement because the right hand is moving as little as possible. Always go for minimal movement if you want a smooth sound, like gospel ballads. Also, the more minimal your movement, the less mistakes you are likely to make  :wink:

There are a lot of other 251's you can play, and a lot of other progressions like 145, 736251, etc.

Hope this answers the question, at least in part . . .

Be Blessed  :D
