_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Hey guys, welcome back today.
We got a really cool lesson.
So we're looking at the [F] one, six, four, five progression, which you're typically hearing
in songs like, How Great Is Our God.
So we'll play the basic version of that and then we'll expand it a little bit using a
little passing chords and see, you know, just how can we spruce that up?
[C] So here we go. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ All right.
So let's look at those chords.
Well, let's start with the bass line.
So we're doing one, six, four, [Ab] five.
So we're in the key of C.
So the one [C] is C, _ _ _ [A] _ _ A minor, [F] _
_ F, _ [G] _ G. _
[E] All right.
So _ one is major, six is minor, four is major, [D] five is major. _
So the chords I'm [C] using here, [Bb] we have a sus2 starting in a C.
_ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So we can do a little walking down.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _
[C] So I'm just going from that C [G] to G _ and [Ab] then A [Am] minor, _ _ _ A minor 7.
_ _ [G] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Db] Now we're going to pass through that G [F] to F, _ _ [G] then G.
_ _ And now we're back on that [C] one. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
All right.
So now let's begin to add a couple of passing chords.
We'll, _ well, I'll just play it first and then I'll break it down.
_ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] All right.
So let's look at what we're doing.
_ So when we left that one, we did a seven, three, _ six.
And so we're doing two, five, ones to _ _ pass to the next chord.
So we start on [G] that C. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Abm] All right.
So from that C, we went to a B diminished.
_ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
All right.
So for that seven, [E] we went to a B diminished.
[B] So we did, _ _ _ [A] _ _
we [Ab] went B, E, A minor.
[E] So B diminished, [D] _ _ E sharp [Am] 9, _ A minor 7.
[B] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [E] All right.
So now we're going to do another two, [Db] five, one to get to F major.
[C] _
So we're going to [G] do _ _ G minor, [C] _ _ _ C7, [F] _ _
[Am] F.
_ So from that A minor, [Abm] _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ that's an F major [G] 7. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Then we went to the five, which is G. _ _ _ _
_ _ And here I just did a little walk down.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ _
So I'm [C] just walking down the scale.
_ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ All right.
So let's put it all together.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ All right, guys.
