Title: Before Requesting Songs
Post by: T-Block on June 13, 2006, 08:06:50 AM: THIS IS A MESSAGE PERSONALLY FROM T-BLOCK

Before anyone elsedecides to request chords for song, I strongly suggest that you go through these steps first:

1. At least attempt to learn the song.

I see so many people just asking for chords, and I wonder if they even try to learn the song first. My guess is most people just hear a song and automatcally think "I don't know this song, I'll just beg for chords." This is the wrong frame of mind fellow musicians. You have to try something in order to know for sure that u can or can't play a song.

2. If you have attempted to learn the song, post what you have figured out already.

I really don't like helping other people with chords to songs who don't first try to help themselves. Try to list everything you already know about the song, so I can see that you have tried your best. You can post the key of the song, the bass line, the melody line, any chords you have figured out, the name of the song, the artist, the lyrics to the song, etc. If yall can post anything to show that u are trying, then I will be more apt to help you.

3. Asking for chords should be a last resort, not a first resort.

This is just a continuation of the above 2. There are plenty of posts here on this site and on other sites that give you all the tools you need to learn about music. I believe it's time that we, yes me included, stop being so lazy and get serious about music. It takes a long time to really become a good musician, so don't try to rush thinking you can just get chords and be alright. YOU WON'T!!!

If it seems like I'm yelling, that's the purpose of it. I'm just wondering when are we gonna realize that there is no easy way to do this. It takes hard work, dedication, determination, etc. You have to be very serious and focused on what you are doing. That means consistent practice not only on playing, but on the learning aspect, i.e. music theory. There is no way around it guys and girls.

Music starts in your head, so if you want a true short-cut to becoming a better musician, get it in your head first. Practicing away from the keyboard is just as effective as practicing in front of the keyboard. If you never get this stuff in your head, you will never be able to really play and understand what you are playing because your mind should control your fingers, not the other way around.

O.K., I'm done yelling now, but honestly I want all of us to become the best musicians we can be. I truly am concerned about your needs and I'm here to help in any way I can. I love each and every one of you and I am praying for everybody's success in music. T-Block out!!!

Sometimes we need a wake-up call to remind us of the real reason for being on this site, to learn about gospel music. It seems like we straying away from the learning aspect a little, so we need to get back on track.

Post by: MikaSue on June 26, 2006, 03:04:53 PM: Great advice.

I try to hear it first by listening over and over but I get sidetracked from either all the instruments or the fancy stuff they are doing. Sometimes I just want the basics and I can't hear them for all the other stuff.
I am grateful for LGM please don't stop helping the deaf :-)

T- BLOCK DO YOU HAVE ADVICE ON GUITAR,OR ANY RESORUCES,WHERE TO GET IT.THANKS
Title: Re: Before Requesting Songs
Post by: T-Block on July 03, 2006, 02:51:05 PM: The same advice goes for any instrument.

I don't play lead guitar, so I can't help you with learning that. There is a whole forum dedicated to Gospel Guitar, you might want to check there.

Post by: MikaSue on July 22, 2006, 04:37:48 PM: T-BLOCK I'm about to give up!

I've been working on this song forever. It seems simple but i'm missing stuff.
I've figured out the bass line but the chords are getting me. HELP.

Here is the song http://briefcase.yahoo.com/mika5 It's I'll Go-Praise II .wma
Here's my attempt
http://media.learngospelmusic.com/displayimage.php?album=random&cat=46120&pos=-1754

Here's what I know....

It's in Gb and modulates to Ab

Here is the base line I got

Gb Eb Ab Db Bb Eb Gb (E Gb)
If you ever needed somebody

Db B Bb Eb F G
I'll Go where you want me to go

Ab Db Gb
Here am I Lord Here am I
Then it goes to Ab

The problem i'm having is the right hand. I've done a midi of what I know. Can you guys help me fill in the blanks and get me on track if i'm playing the wrong chord.
Title: Re: Before Requesting Songs
Post by: vwebster on July 28, 2006, 12:19:07 PM: Is this happening to anyone else?

I've gotten to the place where it's actually easier for me to figure the song out than to use someone else's chords to learn a song.

I can FEEL the music better, if I just figure it out. I listen more. The direction is just more intuitive.

But, the times when I used chords posted somewhere, it just seemed to slow me down. Logical stuff, that should have told me what to play next --- just kind of shut down.

So, I still check out some chorded songs from time to time, but now I'd just rather get it myself. Since I'm still a beginner, I'm still learning different keys (now I play in C - can't stand it thought, F, Bb, Ab). I want to learn how to make my chords sound fuller, since I'm still using triads. I can do the scales in all keys, but I've been really lazy in playing in other keys. When in doubt, I usually fall back on F.

I'm going through trying to understand all the tri tones posts now. And, pulling out previous posts where T-Block and some others said how to get the left hand more active.

But, I feel like I've been freed from asking for chords.
Title: Re: Before Requesting Songs
Post by: MikaSue on July 28, 2006, 03:10:02 PM: Well I try to figure it out and then look here to see if I was on track. Chords here are what people posted not really what is played on the cd. So I use it to assist not as law. If someone posts a chord I may or maynot use it it's just an option and a resource.

Some chords here are too wide for my fingers so I have to cut out some notes but i use what I can. I have grown and can hear better so I don't have to ask for as much help AND AND AND I cna now help others and post stuff.

So if you are not asking for chords post some! Help others.

Post by: T-Block on September 07, 2006, 09:16:18 AM: One more thing people, if you are asking for HELP with chords to a song, please provide some chords of your own that you have figured out so that we will actually be HELPING you and not GIVING you chords. Otherwise, just say that you want or need chords, that way we I can tell the difference. Thanks!!!

Again, I hope this isn't too rude or harsh sounding, but I am trying to help us get better by doing better, it's all out of love.

Seriously, I am really enjoying this forum and the vast amount of information that is shared. you are absolutely correct and I am encouraged to know that a fellow musician has my best interest at heart and wants to see us all do that we can to help ourselves so we can be the best professionals we can be and to honor God by serving others.

I will use your recommendation to help myself before I ask for help and I will provide all supportive information to you and others so you can be a blessing to me and others.

I'm encouraged, Thanks again
Title: Re: Before Requesting Songs
Post by: tammyid on September 16, 2006, 12:48:18 PM: Well said. Everyone should attempt to at least learn a song by ear before requesting chords. I know Jermaine Griggs is good at teaching people to play by ear. His Gospel Keys 101 DVD is awesome. He teaches a harmonization scale, which uses the 1, 2min, 4, and 5 chords for every note in the major scale. This is a basic scale that uses the most common chords in a lot of songs. Of course there's more chords you can use, but this will get you started in playing by ear. I explained it in this post on his message board:

http://zone.hearandplay.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=1267

I'll spell out those chords that I mentioned there here:

C Major Harmonization Scale:
C - Cmaj (1st inversion) E-G-C
D - Dmin (1st inversion) or Gmaj (root) Dmin: F-A-D or Gmaj: G-B-D
E - Cmaj (2nd inversion) G-C-E
F - Fmaj (1st inversion) A-C-F
G - Cmaj (root) C-E-G
A - Fmaj (2nd inversion) C-F-A
B - Gmaj (2nd inversion) D-G-B
C - Cmaj (1st inversion) E-G-C

Check out his June 2006 newsletter. It explains it there too. http://www.hearandplay.com/newsletters

Be blessed! :D

Post by: worshipchords on September 18, 2006, 10:14:25 AM: Well said! Learning on your own isnt so easy. Guess that's why many think its better to just ask someone for it. Nothing will ever replace the process of leaning something you dont know. Better to have tried and not got it than not trying at all. I think wat many people really dont know is the technique for learning a song even by ear. I try to listen to the melody, the bass part and some outstanding notes in the chords. From there I can determine what chords were played.

Secondly, thank you for this posting, I work really hard here at our church and have learned a lot of things through trial and error,but this website has helped to sharpen my skills.

I for one am truly grateful for all of you musicians at LearnGospelMusic.com. It has truly been a God send for me.

MANY THANKS TO YOU,

You don't know enough of the basics yet to try and learn all the "phat" chords. It takes time and lots of patience, u not gonna play good in a month. Most of the people u hear playing on the CDs have been at it for years, so why do u expect to play like them in a week? That, to me is unfair.

It's important to listen to what T is saying and respect what he says. I also understand what you are saying...If you play for a church right now, you are under a lot of pressure to perform NOW not tommorrow. Peoples expectations can cause you to have to rush and try to learn everything overnight. But don't get upset rayl, because he didn't mean that folks wouldn't still help you. He just meant that an effort is required first. I have been playing for years but I just started learning theory last year....I am not ashamed to admit that when I play at church right now, I don't even remember what I read in the theory room. All I know is that, I get paid to play whatever they sing now. So I have to learn songs and stuff very quickly in order to keep my job, which is why I ask for help...and will continue to ask for help until I get theory down to a science like Tblock.

Be encouraged rayl, don't think that no one will help you...because there will always be someone here who understands the pressure to perform now. Don't stop requesting songs, because there are people here who absolutely love to post their version of a song...I do anyway. No one here at LGM is going to leave you hanging. ;)

You hit on something right here, let me address this. I don't care how much pressure people put on you, it's up to you if u give in to it or not. When I was first learning, my church was coming to me wit all kinds of requests to sing songs, but I turned them all down because I was still learning the basics. They got mad at me, but I didn't care cuz I wanted to do it the right way.

Your church ain't gonna die because u can't play all the new stuff yet. Just play what u can right now, then later on when u get more experience, u can revisit it. I liken this to "trying to keep up wit the Jones'", u gonna wear yourself out trying to rush and learn, and u still gonna end up going right back to da basics. So, why not start with the basics and save yourself the trouble of coming back to it later?

Again, this is my opinion coming from my experience. U can take it or leave it, just want to share that wit my LGM family.

As far as chords for "This Little Light Of Mine", didn't u say you only know basic scales? If that's the case, then I believe u not ready for chords to this song. I suggest you start to learn your basic chords first, then you will ready to learn a song. Chords come from the scales, so it's a good thing you learning those first, that's how it should be.

As far as books to help you play by ear, I don't know of any. I didn't use a book to help me, I just applied what I learned from my classical music training to learn gospel. So, any post that I have done talking about music theory on this site, you can print out the pages and make a little book for yourself.

In case you don't know about it, here is the link to all the theory posts I have done: http://www.learngospelmusic.com/forums/index.php/topic,42768.0.html

That's very good. "This Little Light Of Mine" is a fairly simple song once you understand how it goes. Playing chords is different from just plucking the melody notes, LOL. Don't worry, any questions you have, just pm me and I will do my best to assist you.

Title: This is to T-Block
Post by: jamesrhonda on April 23, 2008, 10:50:44 AM: Hey T-Block. I think your message is straight to the point but for me I have been struggling with playing music by ear for years. I am not like other musicians where they can pick up on anything. I was taught to read music and I don't have much of a ear for playing music. But I have been practicing alot more since I just bought me a keyboard. I wonder how people develop playing gospel music by ear? I've been playing piano for 12 years and it's still hard for me to pick up on songs especially during devotion. Some I can pick up and some I can't. SOmetimes when I go to choir anniversaries and hear other musicians, I get intimidated because I can't play like them. These people are more advanced than I am. I have even paid for lessons to learn to play by ear. I guess I can say I am a 15 year musician that is considered a intermediate player. Which isn't good because that makes me feel like I'm not playing as well as I should be. I have gotten so frustrated with learning this skill of playing by ear that I had stopped playing for a couple of years. But I started back. I have also prayed and asked God to anoint my fingers so I can praise his name in songs. I know he will help me if I continue to practice and most of all, BELIEVE!!!!! I love playing piano and will continue to do the best I can. T-Block I think you are very talented and I hope you will continue to help the ones that are struggling with their music like me. You are a blessing!!!

Post by: Musicmama58 on July 30, 2008, 09:05:38 AM: When I first saw that message I got a little disturbed. But I know for myself that I at least try to work out the chords myself. I also search for Chords and Lyrics on the internet if I get stuck. Lryics for most songs can be found on the internet, if, You know the correct title or artist. There is a site called "allgospellyrics.com that has lyrics to old and new. Just know the title of the song and the artist and you can locate pretty much anything.

I definately don't play comtemporary gospel songs very well. (Rhythm is a challenge) Also, picking up a song just by listening to it is a very difficult skill for me. That is why I came to this sight. I have the words and melody notes to a song titled "I Lift My Hands" by the Arkansas Mass Choir.
I would like for someone to help me with the left hand chords and notes in A Flat major. I have the notes to the melody written in C# Major.
Here is what I have. I will use the letter b in ( ) to represent flats.

THIS IS A MESSAGE PERSONALLY FROM T-BLOCK

Before anyone elsedecides to request chords for song, I strongly suggest that you go through these steps first:

1. At least attempt to learn the song.

I see so many people just asking for chords, and I wonder if they even try to learn the song first. My guess is most people just hear a song and automatcally think "I don't know this song, I'll just beg for chords." This is the wrong frame of mind fellow musicians. You have to try something in order to know for sure that u can or can't play a song.

2. If you have attempted to learn the song, post what you have figured out already.

I really don't like helping other people with chords to songs who don't first try to help themselves. Try to list everything you already know about the song, so I can see that you have tried your best. You can post the key of the song, the bass line, the melody line, any chords you have figured out, the name of the song, the artist, the lyrics to the song, etc. If yall can post anything to show that u are trying, then I will be more apt to help you.

3. Asking for chords should be a last resort, not a first resort.

This is just a continuation of the above 2. There are plenty of posts here on this site and on other sites that give you all the tools you need to learn about music. I believe it's time that we, yes me included, stop being so lazy and get serious about music. It takes a long time to really become a good musician, so don't try to rush thinking you can just get chords and be alright. YOU WON'T!!!

If it seems like I'm yelling, that's the purpose of it. I'm just wondering when are we gonna realize that there is no easy way to do this. It takes hard work, dedication, determination, etc. You have to be very serious and focused on what you are doing. That means consistent practice not only on playing, but on the learning aspect, i.e. music theory. There is no way around it guys and girls.

Music starts in your head, so if you want a true short-cut to becoming a better musician, get it in your head first. Practicing away from the keyboard is just as effective as practicing in front of the keyboard. If you never get this stuff in your head, you will never be able to really play and understand what you are playing because your mind should control your fingers, not the other way around.

O.K., I'm done yelling now, but honestly I want all of us to become the best musicians we can be. I truly am concerned about your needs and I'm here to help in any way I can. I love each and every one of you and I am praying for everybody's success in music. T-Block out!!!

Not a lot of gospel artists print their music out. The ones who do, you have to pay for them. There are some websites online where you can purchase gospel sheet music. One of those sites is www.nitimemusic.com (http://www.nitimemusic.com)

Post by: Musicmama58 on January 04, 2010, 12:10:43 PM: Jan 4, 2010: Happy New Year Everyone: Regarding Before Requesting Songs: I think this is the longest on going request subject. (smile) I would like to offer this simple advice: Pray and ask God to help you with your songs, then listen to the recording: Figure out the key; Note that most song have a certain pattern that flows throughout most of the songs. If you do a little at a time that helps as well. Most people try to learn the Entire song at one time. Just work it out bit by bit. Like Get the Intro. Work the Chorus, then the Verses, then the bridge or vamp. If you do the breakdown that helps you as well.

Another site you can check online is www.earnestandroline.com (http://www.earnestandroline.com) or type in Earnest and Roline Ministry. Once you get on the home page to the left is the Music Ministry Directory. Chorded Songs is 3rd down. But I caution you to be sure to actually play or work out the chords given because I found a song that had incorrect chords. I had worked it out myself first and a friend sent me the chords posted but they did not sound right. But it all work out well, because they had chords I had not tried.

I like to get the basic chords in the song first and then I add MY own flavor. I do not like to imiate others, I like to create from what they started. Words they sang about may not reflect my own life.

I do pray that my little bit, help you out a whole lot. MusicMama
Title: Re: Before Requesting Songs
Post by: guitar3 on February 14, 2010, 10:49:18 PM: Hows it going everybody,

Its great to see such a site out here for church musicians. I could really learn alot from the songs all of you have chorded but I dont recognize the chords as they are presented. For example: c/c-e-g. Well... I recognize some of them when i see them. I know that this chord is C major with the root in the bass. But for the most part I dont recognize them. My instrument is guitar and I have learned to recognize chord symbols . If the chord symbols were presented (D7flat5,etc)also. I could take full advantage of the chorded songs presented here, which would be great. So what I'm asking is will you gifted musicans take the time to place the chord symbols beside the letters. for example: c/c-e-g C Major, d-f-a D Minor. It would really be a blessing to me and i'm sure to alot of others. This is a great ministry. Its hard for me to believe it exists.I believe this addition would increase its effectiveness. If no one wants to do this work I am more than happy to do it. Is there a chart that has the chord symbol and the notes spelled out for the various chords?(I doubt there is.Just trying to show I am willing to do the work. ) If there were such a chart I could place the symbols along side the notes myself and post it so others could be blessed.I know there have to be others like me. Nevertheless i can understand if its too much work to do this, the chord symbol may not come immediately to mind for you all. Just like looking at the notes only doesn't bring to mind the chord symbol,most of the time. But if that chord symbol were there I could sail on nicely.. Of course if this cant be done I'll just have to s-l-o-w-l-y figure out what the chords are...which is o.k. ..no pain no gain. But if someone could help in this way it would be great. I hope this makes sense.

Thanks and God bless you
