Chords for Gospel Tip of the Week - Quartet Foundations Continued

_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] Hey guys, we're going to continue our discussion on quartet this week.
_ So here's one of the very familiar walk-ups that you hear from the one to the four, _ _ kind
of like in the quartet ballad world where you just, you know, you're working more from
the one to the four.
_ So we're in the key of E, so we're walking up from E, F sharp, G sharp, A.
And then we
might hit a five right there or a B. _
So let's see what that looks like.
_ [E] All right, here's the bass line.
I'm going to hit E open.
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G#] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
All right, let's add chords to it.
So we know our one is major, so we got an E major. _ _ _ _ _
[C#] Two is minor, [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
so that's F sharp [G#m] minor. _ _ _
_ G [A] sharp minor. _ _ _ _
_ _ A major, and so the five will [B] be B.
_ _ [G] But I'm going to do something different.
I'm going to do a five over four, so that's going to be the A chord with the B in the bass.
[E] _ [B] _ _ [B] _ _
Or we can do _ _ _ it _ this way. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] All right, so let's see what that sounds like in context. _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [G#] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ So what I just did that time, I changed [A] that A from just a major chord to _ _ a major seven. _ _ _ _
_ _ So let's experiment with a few variations of that.
So this time I'm going _ [E] to kind of give it that open chord feel where I'm going to leave
the B and E all the way open as I progress through the chords. _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[E] I can do that with the full chord as well. _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ [D#] _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ [E] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
We can also go to a different version of different voicing of that.
So here we [E] go.
I'm going to go down [B] to _ _ my sus chord. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [G#m] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ So that's the same [E] thing.
We're playing E.
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [G#m] _ _
[A] _ _ _ So now we're using seven chords.
So we're doing minor seven for the minor chords and a major seven for the major chords.
_ [E] _ _ _
Major seven.
[B] _ And that's the sus.
Sus two.
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ We can do a sus chord there as well. _ _ _
_ So [A] that's the same thing, yes?
[E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ When we're doing those minor sevens, we can actually do a little chord inflections.
_ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [B] So let's come back to the five over four. _ _
_ _ _ [D#] _ [G#m] _ _ _
[E] E major seven. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] So that chord, I'm playing around with the four.
[E] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _
So I'm going from four, one, two, one. _
[A] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [A#] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D#] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
