Hey LGM fam, I've decided to do something a little different. A lot of people have requested chords for this particular song, "Shift This Place" by Youthful Praise. I don't particularly want to play the song, but I've given myself a challenge to figure these chords out.
So far, it's bout the 2nd most difficult song I ever started learning. What I'm gonna do is post what I have figured out so far. The reason for this is to give yall an example of how I approach learning a song. Like the title said, it's a work in progress, so it's not done yet, LOL. Here's what I got:

That's a lot right? Yeah, I sorta got the gist of what's going on by figuring out the bass notes first, but there are some weird chords in there I have to study for a minute. I'm not sure if all those chords I have already are correct, but it's a start.
Feel free to add in something I've left out until I come back with more additions. Be back later!!!

Sweet! This is a hot song!
-
Yikes!!!!! :P
Thanks for giving us a head start..now I can hopeful have a go at it.
-
I'm curious about this song now.. especially if T-Block is having trouble with it. :-) Does anybody have a copy of it that they could send me?

PS. Yes I'm back to using my original screenname.. no one knew who I was with the new (513TrueMan) Screen Name.. LOL

I know what kinds of chords are being played though (majorish, minorish, diminished, augmentish), but I'm having trouble with the exact chords and voicings being used because of the overwhelming horn parts. When I get the song uploaded, I'll send u a copy D. In the meantime, u could do a search and go to a site to here a snippet of it.

LOL! I didn't even hear the horns until you pointed it out! I'm so used to picking out the keyboard/organ part that I don't pay attention to it.
Your ear is pretty good.
You got most of the chords exact, if you just fatten up the bass then you'd be on point.
Instead of doing...
Bb / Ab-Db-F
Cb / Bb-Eb-Gb
Ab / C-E-Ab ?
Db / Cb-Eb-Gb-Bb
...do...
Bb-D / Ab-Db-F
Cb-Db / Bb-Eb-Gb
Ab-Gb / C-E-Ab-B
Db-F-Cb / Db-Eb-Gb-Bb
A lot of times, if you just play a dom, min7, or maj7 in your left hand, it'll make that sound you're looking for.

Ummm I wish my work in progress-seses sounded this good....fa' real!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
We play this at church pretty often....I'll try to steal some chords from the organist next time we play it lol
Be Blessed,
