[Em] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ Hey guys, welcome back to [C] another lesson.
_ _ So this is becoming pretty popular for gospel guitar and it's all [F#] because of you guys.
[Dm] _ [B] So if you haven't already, go ahead and hit that subscribe button, like this video, watch
it all the way to the end. _
It would be really helpful for me.
Alright, so let's get into the lesson.
_ So a lot of you guys saw that last lesson [C] where, well it wasn't a lesson, it was a video.
It was me and Audrey, we did her song Life's [F#] Ways.
And so you asked for me to break that down.
So I won't necessarily break that completely down, verbatim, but I will kind of show you
the main progression and what I was thinking when I came up with that idea. _ _ _ _
So I'll play it for you real fast.
_ [Dm] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Alright, so let's start with the bare bones.
I'm in the key of C. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] And so I'm walking up from the four to the six.
So we'll do F, G major, and then A minor.
[F] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ And then I do a [E] lick again. _ _
[Am] _ [F] _ _ _ F, now I add the [G] five.
_ [C] _ So that's a suspended C.
_ _ _ So sus2. _
_ _ _ But I'm also putting the five in [G] the bass.
_ _ [C] _ _ And then I resolve it.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So I [C#] wanted to spruce up those [C] chords because that was pretty [F] bland.
Just _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [N] go_
So I started to add the nine chord.
So I'll show you what I'm doing there.
_ [A] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ So that's an F add nine. _ _ _ _ _
So I'm leaving that bass note out, the F there.
[Em] And I'm starting with that first inversion, so I'm playing the third. _
[A] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
So in that [C#m] key, well, in that F [C] chord, we have the [Am] third degree.
[B] We have [F] the one.
_ _ [E]
That G [G] is the nine.
_ [C] And then that C, the [Am] five. _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ And then we're going to keep that same nine chord and [F#] move it up to the G.
_ [G] _ _ _ _
_ But again, we're leaving that _ _ [Em] bass note out.
So we're doing [B] that first inversion.
_ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G#] And there we're [E] playing _ [A] _ _ _ [D] that F _ major nine.
[F] So we have the [D] F major seven add nine.
[E] _ _ So it doesn't have a five in that chord.
It's because we have [F] the F, _ _ we have the A, [E] _ we have [Am] the major [Em] seven,
[A] and the five.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ So for the A minor, we're going to do the same thing.
We can [C] do this chord.
Let's see.
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ Yeah. _
_ _ _ Let me clean it up.
[C] _ _
_ _ It's a little stretch for me.
So [F#] with that A minor, if we leave that root [C] note [E] out, we start with that five,
the nine, _ [C] the minor third, [E] and the seven.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D#] So let's see if I can do that in [Am] context. _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[G] _ [E] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
Ah, yeah.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] All right, guys.
Very simple lesson.
But I mean, we took that four, five, six.
[N] We added the ninth in all those chords.
And it really came to life.
So simple ideas, but a quick way to expand your chords using the ninth degree.
All right, so if you have any questions, hit me up in the comments.
