_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] Hey this is TJ with Piano Clubhouse.
I'm going to show you Total Praise by Richard Smallwood
in the key of D flat. _ _ _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The introduction [Dbm] starts out on a D flat major chord.
Left hand is just hitting D flat.
And
between each phrase or between each measure, you're hitting this A flat. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Right hand is just hitting a D flat major chord.
_ _ In first position the D flat major
chord is D flat, F, and A flat. _ _ _
I'm inverting it just to make it sound a little bit lower.
Inverting means just hitting the same note, but I'm hitting an octave lower.
So now this
A flat is right here. _
_ I'm going to invert one more time so I'm going to move this F
down here.
_ _ _ Now we're in the register that I want to be at. _
After _ _ the intro, _
[Gb] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Db] _ _
those first
chords, left hand is going D flat, [Bb] C, B [C] flat, C, [Db] D flat.
It just goes down two notes of
the scale and walks back up.
[C] D flat, [Bb] C, B flat, [Db] C, D flat.
Right hand, we were right
here. _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ When the left [Bb] hand walked down to B flat, right hand moves up to a G flat major
chord.
[Gb] G flat, B flat, D flat.
_ _ [C] _ _ [Cm] When you go to the C in the left hand, [Ab] right hand goes
to an A flat major chord, inverted.
A flat, I'm sorry, E flat, A flat, C.
_ [Db] _
Then back to
the D flat major chord.
If you're more comfortable with your right hand being in root position, _ _ _ _ _
[Bbm] _ the [Gb] four chord, D flat, G flat, B flat, _ C, E flat, A [Db] flat, back to D flat major chord.
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Fm] _ Moving on, the next two [Eb] chords, left hand is going from D flat to E flat to [F] F.
[Db] Right hand,
we were right here.
When you go to the E flat, move the right hand to [Eb] a four chord, which is
an inverted G flat chord.
The notes are D flat, G flat, B flat, and you can add this F if you like. _
_ _ _ Next, left hand goes to F, [Eb] right hand going to the 2 [F]-5-1.
E flat, [Db] A flat, and D flat.
I think
that sounds really [Fm] good there. _
_ _ Next, left hand [Gb] continues to go up to the G flat, _ right hand
goes to four chord.
_ _ _ _ The one we just left, two chords ago.
B flat, F, G flat, B flat.
Now,
left hand goes back to F, and the right hand goes back to the 2-5 [Fm]-1.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
Next, left hand goes to D,
natural.
Right [D] hand _ goes to F, A flat, D. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ You could have done it here as well, since your hand was
here, if you didn't want it to travel as far.
_ But I'm going here because I'm setting up what's
coming next, which is, in my mind, my brain shift to the key of G flat at this point. _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Ebm] _ _ Okay,
_ let's go back into that.
_ [Db] _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Left hand's at D, right hand is F, A flat, D, _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ and then it resolves to E
flat.
And the bass from D to E flat, right hand goes [D] from F, A flat, D, [Ebm] _ to G flat, B flat, E flat. _
_ _ [B] Okay, [Bb] _ _ and these [B] chords, this is the G flat four chord.
G flat, B, and E flat.
Add this B flat if
you like.
Left hand is on B, natural. _
_ _ Next chord, the left hand goes down to B [Bb] flat, right hand goes
to F, A flat, D.
Okay, _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
next, left hand goes to E flat, _ right hand goes to G flat, B flat, E flat. _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ebm] _ Your left hand is going to do a little [Ebm] bit of walking here.
He's going to do the work.
_ He helps
this _ part to really move.
[B] _ Left hand's going to go B, [Gb] _ _ [B] F, _ [F] _ _ [Bb]
B flat, _ [D] D, [Ebm] _ _ _
E flat.
One more time.
[B] _ B,
excuse me, [F] B, F, _ [Bb] B flat, [D] _ D, [Ebm] _ E flat.
_ Right hand [B] over the B, he's doing a G flat four chord with
the B flat. _
[F] Let that F go by itself.
_ [Bb] When you get to the B flat, we're going to do this F, A flat. _
