[T-Block]

I couldn't get that link to work for me michaeln.

[michaeln]

Could someone other that T-block and myself try to listen to the file, because I can open it, but he can't.  Or give me some other way of link to it......

[michaeln]

T-block I loaded the file in the "NEWLY ADD MEDIA CENTER"" it's call progression in c

[BELLMS540]

 A couple for question for T-Block or anyone who can help?

A couple of keys through me off. Please help

First in the key of D why would it be G# in the walk from the 2 to the 5? It not part of the key and the 4th wasn't sharp in C during the walk.

Second in the key of G, Why is the 6 an Eb instead of E.

I understand what you are doing. I just don't understand why.

[T-Block]

Those are just some typos, I'll fix that right away.  I typed this up so long ago I hadn't really noticed if there were some errors or not.

In D, that 4 should be a G.  In G, that 6 should be an E. 

[T-Block]

It should be straight now.  I was hoping that you would try to transpose it on your own, but have this page as a reference if you got stuck.  Thanks for pointing out the errors for me.

[BELLMS540]

 Thanks T-Block

Hello T-block

Did you get a chance to listen to the progression "Progression in C" I posted in the media center.  Just a little more background on my question.  I don't understand the playing of progressions enogh to ask a straight out and to the point question, but this is what I "think I understand, and PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong"

-progressions follow this format (1)M (2)m (3)m (4)M (5)M (6)m (7) dim (8/1)M  ()= the degree in the scale

-so if I'm going to play a 2-5-1 I would play Dm---->G---->C

-and I would play that in whatever inversion that would allow minimal movement as possible


I'll wait for your response, and remember I believe int the K-I-S-S (KEEP IT SIMPLE SAINTS) God bless and thanks for everything.

[lumbebear1]

You are a real blessing, T-Block. Keep on feeding us . . . people are taking it in and you will be blessed for sowing into the lives of the saints.

I'm printing out my copy right now  :lol:

Be Blessed

Amen to that................so am I

[T-Block]

Did you get a chance to listen to the progression "Progression in C" I posted in the media center.

Yes, I did.  All i can say about that is it is not an example of 7-3-6-2-5-1.

I don't understand the playing of progressions enogh to ask a straight out and to the point question, but this is what I "think I understand, and PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong"

-progressions follow this format (1)M (2)m (3)m (4)M (5)M (6)m (7) dim (8/1)M  ()= the degree in the scale

-so if I'm going to play a 2-5-1 I would play Dm---->G---->C

Yes and no. Yes, the bass notes D-G-C are correct.  No, it has nothing to do with the chords, although those chords are fine.

You see, a progression gets its name solely from the bass notes.  What chord you play with it is totally up to you, but the basic way is just like u did above, play the type of chord that goes with each scale degree.  You follow me?  When you see progression, think bass notes. 

[BELLMS540]

 I know this progression backward and forward in all key. I'm ready for the new one. Can someone post a new progression in any key.

Can i ask you please a fever ? please could you transmitte me the chords names of "the Progression Practice Routine "you has made (I'm a professionnal beginner,it's means that i know holy based dominant chords) ?

I'm guessing you want me to translate the chords into chord symbols, right?  Well, I'll do it for the first key, and you can just change the root note for all the other keys:

Key C

C-C / D-E-G-C (1) = Cadd9
C-C / G-C-D-E = Cadd9
C-C / Ab-C-D-F = Dm7 (b5)/C
C-C / G-C-D-E = Cadd9
/ D, E
B / A-D-F (7) = Dm/B
E / Ab-C-D-G, F (3) = E7 (b5) (b9) *rename the Ab to G# (not sure about this chord symbol)
A / G-C-E (6) = Am7
D / Ab-C-D-F (2) = Dm7 (b5)
E / G-C-E = C/E
F / Ab-C-D-F = Dm7 (b5)/F
G / G-C-E (5) = C/G
G / F-G-C-D = Gsus7
G / F-G-B-D, C = G7
C / D-E-G-C (1) = Cadd9

Modulation chord to Db: Ab / Gb-Ab-Bb-Db = Gbadd9/Ab

Does that work for ya?  I hope all of those are correct, there are still some chordss that I am not sure how to name, so I just name them the best I can.  Please forgive any mistakes.

Thanks Mr NICE GUY

[T-Block]

I use this mainly in gospel music during worship time.

[BELLMS540]

 I'm a bass player by heart, but I play around with the keys every once in a while. But, here is a midi.

Hi All,

I only started  to have a look recently at this gospel chord practice (very nice progression by the way)

Towards the end , there seems to be a sort of walk up from the 2 chord to the 5 (so 2 - 3 - 4 -5 in fact)chord and i was wondering if someone could confirm/explain how this work and the logic behind the choice of chords (that would help me applying to other keys)

Thanks a lot in advance.

Laurent
