Pastor Jason Abel Aguilar of www.jasonabel.com (http://www.jasonabel.com) taking time to break down This Is The Air I Breathe while filming the PLAYING IN CHURCH WITH JASON ABEL AGUILAR piano techniques vol. 1 DVD

Thanks for sharing once again "JayZee"....I purchased this DVD a while ago and I am still watching parts of it today and learning new things each time. It really is a good investment. Stay Blessed.

Nice clip.

That was very nice, thanks for posting. We play this song all the time in our church.

You know, this is a pretty good video. I'd like for him to explain the breakdowns a bit clearer.
For example, what notes is he playing when he's doing the arpeggios? What's he doing in his left hand when he descends from the Bb ('your very word' section)?
Stuff like that; especially if he's doing a tutorial DVD.
Just some thoughts.

I could break it down for you if you want.

Sorry guys. What part do you exactly want cuz i do not have the inclination to do a breakdown of the WHOLE thing cuz the song is pretty simple.
-
Fenix, thanks but you really don't have to break it down on my account. I was semi kidding with my post, but I was going to use it if you had broken it down. You had stated that you would do so voluntarily. No problemo. Seriously, that little prod was just in jest. Thanks for all the posts that you have already made.

Thought I answered this, here:

Here is a little breakdown of his technique (for you sjon). You can tell from the guy's playing that he's had some type of classical training.
His LH is basically arpeggiating a chord or part of the chord being played in the RH. The most common way is playing these scale degrees: 1-5-1-3 (but u can arrpegiate more), each number goes up so the second 1 is an octave higher then the first 1
Also, the notes in the LH are to be played while the sustain pedal is down. So, it's more of a roll than an arpeggio. This gives you that flowing sound will the RH is chording or playing a simple melody.
So let's say the chord is a Bb major chord. The RH will obviously play the chord, but the LH will compliment it like this:
Bb, F, Bb, D
So, altogether u have:
Bb, F, Bb, D / F-Bb-D
This is one of the fundamental basic techniques of being a classical pianist. To practice this technique, just take any chord and play it the way I showed above. So, here are ways to practice each type of chord using C for example:
LH/RH
C major: C, G, C, E / G-C-E
C minor: C, G, C, Eb / G-C-Eb
C diminished (dim7): C, Gb, C, Eb / Gb-(A)-C-Eb
C augmented: C, G#, C / G#-C-E
*These can work for any of the altered chords as well. To determine which to use, look at the base chord. Example, a major 7th chord first begins with a major chord base. So, u use the major chord technique in the LH with that chord.
If anyone has any questions on that, just let me know.

Very interesting, T-Block. Thanks for the assist.

Sorry guys, i really want to do it. I didn't know posting chords was this hard. I will never under-value the chords posted on this site again.

Hey, T, when do you actually hit the right hand chord? I think I know but I just wanted to be sure. For example; C-G-C-E/G-C-E. Do you go, bang, bang, bang with your left hand, and then Bang/bang with both hands? Or bang, bang, bang bang with your left hand while holding a "C" chord with your right? Or arpeggiating a "C" chord with your right?
I hope I made my question clear.
Thanks,
berbie

It starts with the bottom C on the LH and the C major chord in the RH. While holding down that C major chord, roll the other notes in the LH. So, it should probably look more like this:
C / G-C-E
G, C, E /

I did find out the hard way man. I had started out chording the song then i suddenly sat up and was like "Hold up! You mean i gotta sit down here and listen to this song and THEN write out each and every chord?"
At that point i was like "naw man, ya'll gone have to figure this out on ya own.
I might do it this weekend though.

Don't let that stop you Fenix. It gets easier and faster after you've done it a few times. You just gotta be sure of what you typing out so others won't get confused.

Thanks T.

Another way to practice this technique is by adding another note to the LH. The scale degrees will be 1-5-1-2-3:
LH/RH
C major: C, G, C, D, E / G-C-E
C minor: C, G, C, D, Eb / G-C-Eb
C diminished (dim7): C, Gb, C, D, Eb / Gb-(A)-C-Eb
C augmented: C, G#, C, D, E / G#-C-E
