Hello,
I am new. I have spent my whole day searching this site and I am still confused about this topic:
1. Is there a difference between chord fillers and progressions?
2. I thought that a 2-5-1 progression in C would be: D/Dmin, G/Gmaj, C/Cmaj, but I have seen many types of chords for the right hand. How would I know which chords to use for my right hand?
3. I saw information on the Circle of 5ths and 4ths. Is this my pattern to develop filler chords between the 1 4 5 pattern/progression? If not, is there a method for me to find filler chords? Is so can someone give examples in the key of C?
Please help!!!

poetic_soul03, welcome to the LGM website. Let me try to answer your questions
1. I think that progressions and chord fillers are probably basically the same thing, but fillers can be more like, riffs, runs arpeggios. Remember, a progression (chord change, or change) is just the movement from one chord to another.
2. You need to check out the little E-book on inversions http://www.learngospelmusic.com/modules.php?name=Static&op=6 You should think of the left hand and the right hand as a unit, not as two seperate hands so
D/F C
G/ F B
C/E B
is a 2 5 1 progression. If you don't understand how I came up with that, please ask.
3. I have started to work on a little something to try to help with fillers, coming soon.
