Chording: 201
« on: August 11, 2003, 12:10:51 PM »
Here's a little tip:

When playing chords on the organ, think of both your hands as playing parts of one chord. Try not to think of them in the parts, like tri-tones, minor and major intervals. This just helps to make it more complicated. Try to put the pieces together, almost like a puzzle. Here are examples:


EXAMPLE 1:

FP\LH\RH

Bb\DAb\DFBb
(Bb root\Bb 3-b7 tri-tone\Bb major)

can be called

FP\LH+RH

Bb\Bb7



EXAMPLE 2:

FP\LH\RH
G\GBb\DFBb

can be called

G\Gm7



Here's a progression using these two chords:

*Hold high Bb the whole time*

FP\LH+RH

G\Gm7
Gb\Gb7  (#5)
F\Fm11
Eb\Ebm6 add 9 (passing chord)
E\Emajor9 (#11)
Gb\Gb11
Ab\Ab13

This progression is an altered version of a 7-3-6-5-1 progression. Also, it's in Ab and shifts to Bb.


I posted 2 mp3s of this, one has extra:

****

LINKS REMOVED. DEAD.

****

(This one also has some preacher chords in it.)

*Correction: The second one doesn't have the first in it. It's 2:11am here, and I'm sleepy. That's partly why it's dragging a bit.*


Also, I'm using a Korg CX3 organ with some modified B3 pedals. No leslie. I haven't built that yet. I recorded it through my computer speakers.

Your mp3s are very nice. You played one particular chord on the file named "organ_mess". I heard the chord on time 4:58 of the file. (I hope you know what I mean by that.) I hear that one chord alot in gospel music, and recently I been trying to figure out that chord. I know this may seem weird to have someone asking you for just one chord, but I really would like to know. So, could you please post it or email me? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

That progression was a 7-3-6. Since I did that in Ab, the general chords are:

G\Gm7 (b5)

I did...

G\Gm7 (#5)


FP\LH\RH
G\FB\EbGBb
