what should i exactly go to...?

[precious sprit]

HEY DO YOU STILL NEED HELP I CAN HELP YOU BY GIVING YOU A FEW PROGRESSIONS.

[dadream]

yes i do still need help...if u can

[diverse379]

I can help I think

Lets keep it basic I will not give you what to do on the pedals you can either do root fifth or staly on the root or do root 6 5

we sill be in the key of Ab we will play each of the scale tones

and give each one a number

Ab is one Bb is two etc

C is three Db is four you get the idea
Lets start with the left hand first

If you are playing a a song and you want an edge on the one chord

Play F# C or F# Bb C

if you want a sweter sound on the One chord you play

GC or Ab C or Ab Bb C

most songs will start on the One or the Ab in the key of Ab

they will mostly move to The Db

if you started on the Ab C in the bass you can Turn it to F# C just before you go to the Db

the four chord in Ab is Db

It can be played

FC   or FB or FAb

now sometimes the next chord is a 1/5 so you will play Eb in the bass over one of the left hand shells I gave you above

The song will now go back to Ab now lets look at an idea here  if you want to add interest to the left hand part over the one chord

alternate between f#C and FB while the foot goes betwwen the Ab And Eb
But rock the FB playing first the B then the F

in an oomp pah manner

Ab   oomp
F#C  pah
Eb  oomp
F,B  pah

Back to the song

now you need to get to the five a classic way is

3-6-2-5-

So Play

C/EBb
F/Eb Ab
Bb/ DAb
Eb/DbG

Now these moves will work over this little light of mine and many other congregational songs

amazing grace uses some of these moves

you need to use your ear to figure out how to use the progressions but the basic rule of thumb is that the bass note determines the chord the only two tricky ones are the 3 and the 5

sometimes the Eb in the bass uses a ! chord over it and sometimes it uses An Eb7

the C somethimes is a Cminor 7 or a C7 and sometimes it is a Ab chord with the C in the Bass

you have to work out the changes because each song is diffeerent

but here is a basic left hand chord chart I will give you three and four note voicings using the 7-3-6-2-5-1 once you under stand this progression you will be able to play lots of songs

Ab/FC or GBbC   1
G/FBbDb
C/EBb
F/EbAb  EbA
Bb/fAbBbDb
Eb/GBbDb

Most congregational songs will use various combinations of the above chords you can play the melody in the right hand
