Why not post what you are already doing and it may help someone else.
and someone can add on to what you are already doing that way you can share your knowledge and be blessed while being a blessing.

By the way my pastor preached in Gb this morning and caught me totally off guard. He never preaches in Gb I had to realy think when playing behind him this morning which is not usually a problem but I just started playing where he usually is and got a big suprise.

I just thought that was funny when I saw your post for Gb chords I could have use some new chords today :lol:

I think he is trying to do that.  I do that with Ddw4e all the time.  I give him chords that I play, then he tells me how I can "phatten" tehm up.

I have found that the best way to play behind a pastor is to be fluent in all keys.  I have been playing quite a number of years and I still find myself learning new things.  Even though I am older I keep up with all of the latest things.  My suggestion is that if you don't read, then learn.  It is one of the most valuable tools that you can have.  The scales and progressions can get you through any key.  My pastor starts in one key and modulates all over the place.  the only way I can keep up with him is to learn all progressions and in all keys.  I also use the number system to remember progressions.  ie. I-IV-V (1-4-5) in key of C is C-F-G, Key of F
F-Bb-C, and so on.  With lot's of practice you can master any key. Using this system any key is playable. Not only does this help with playing behind pastors but also behind singers who may not sing in the same key that a song is written.  Another thing to do is to learn all of the variations of the chords (Maj, Min, Dim, Augmented, Min7, Maj7, Maj9, 9, 11th 13th,) and other combinations of coloring.  This will greatly enhance you playing, especially behind preachers, and also for worship flowing and praise(dance) music.

Please post what you already have, it would help. I have some chords, but I need to see what you have so I can add to my chords if necessary.

To add to it...Even though I give him ways to change it around....it helps me that even the little chord that he gives me can change anything and go somewhere else so...We help each other out and it's paying off for us (I hope  :lol: )..And maybe it's not a bad idea to just find someone at can help you one-on-one on stuff like this....get another point of view on how to do things...something to think about..

Ok Will,

What you are doing is fine that is the real basics behind some alternate voicings and changes I'll add onto what you already do and you can play around until it sounds right to you I'll also post a audio mp3  file on my site for you to listen to.  I will be using Gb it's the same but most of us think in flats.

F#/Bb,C#,Eb,F#
Bb/Bb,D,E,F#
B/A,C#,Eb,F#
C/A,C,Eb,F#
C#/Bb,C#,Eb,F#

Gb Db E/ Ab Bb Eb
B E/ Bb D Gb Ab
B Eb/ A Db Gb
C Gb/A C Eb Ab
Ab Eb Gb/ C Eb Gb A
Db Ab/ B Eb F Ab
A Eb/ F Ab Db
Ab D/ Bb Db Gb

B/ Bb Eb Gb       ***This part walks down keep the Gb on top****
Bb/ Ab D Gb
A/ G Db Gb
Ab/ Gb C Gb

there are several basic runs you can do and mix them up the pattern can be what ever you like the notes can be doubled skiped and so on
(Eb, Gb, Ab, A, Bb, Db, Eb, Gb)
(Bb, Ab, Gb, Ab, Gb, Eb, Eb, Db, Bb) you can start this run on any of the notes just follow the pattern three down and one up.

Let me know if this helps and if I can be of more assistance.
be blessed and make those chords smoke!! :!:  :wink:

I've always wanted to "branch out" into F#.  This is helping me a lot.  Thanks.

Hi,

Just got a load of what you guys are doing and I love.

I learnt most of what I play by listening and trying to produce the souds I hear. So can someone please help me understand the following: F#/Bb, Bb/Bb and B/A

thanks.

[musmin7]

Agas,

This is just a way of spelling out the chord structure in a format for those who don't read notation.

the format you see is L / R (single notes)  LEFT HAND / RIGHT HAND (SINGLE, NOTES)

at times for organ the bass ped may be put in first .
so every thing is spelled out from A thru G.
Ab means A flat
A# means A sharp
hope this helps
let me know if I can be of more assistance.

be blessed

Thanks a lot Musmin7. Am realy glad you sent a reply and also offered to help, just be sure I'll call on you anytime for help when I need it.

I already know about sharps and flat signs and how to locate the 12 keys on the keyboard. The part I didn't understand was the slash (/) sign coming between the keys. Thanks to you I now know it comes between the left and right hand.

U'er a real bro. I love you.
