HELP !!!!!!!!!
« on: February 10, 2008, 09:23:20 AM »
Hello

This is Kevin Cannon. I am a rookie when it comes to playing Gospel Music. I am very excited about learning any and everything I can about playing gospel music. I can play some gospel songs but it sounds very basic when I play it. Since I never received any formal training on Gospel music, I am starting back from the beginning and learning all of my scales, minor and major. I am learning chords, I am also learning scales and chords in terms of numbers. I am also really really wanting to learn to play talk music. I want to know how to take chords and scales and turn that into talk music. I want to learn how to freestyle while someone is praying. I want to learn runs and fill-ins so I am not just using big chords in a song . As you can see I have a lot of things going through my head and I want to make my thoughts reality. Which through  God anything is possible. Don't get me wrong I can play, and have been playing for 5 years but not in the area of Gospel music. I REALLY REALLY need some feedback on where I should start ? What things do I need to practice on first because I know that I must crawl before I walk or run. Please Please Please someone help me,........I was given the gift to play the piano and never really took it that serious, but I recently have received an answer about this through prayer and I really have been given more drive then ever from God and he really wants me to "get on the ball". I want to do this so bad that god has placed in me the need to serve. I have no wanting to get paid....I have a good job now but I want to learn to play better and start playing for my church. I don't want payment for something that I am doing for god. Others get paid because that is what god wants for them. God has already blessed me financialy and the next step for me is to be blessed spiritually. So PLEASEPLEASE PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HIT ME BACK AND LET ME KNOW WHERE i NEED TO START.
KC
