_ _ _ [A#m] Hello everyone, this is Kevin Yarko again.
I received an email request to do a tutorial on how to do Makosa Praise and use the song
My Love Is Good, which is a very popular Makosa Praise. _ _
[D] So let's just run through the key of C and _
[C] _ using the Kevin Yarko scale of chords.
Okay, remember [Dm] C7, D minor, C7, D [C] minor, C7, D [G] minor, _ [C] G7, and C7.
Okay, again. _ _ _
_ [G] _ [C] And there's kind of a [F#] _ _ scale of chords which I invented to harmonize African music.
Okay, so let's start with the progression.
Most Makosa progression begins with a [C] 1, so we have a C chord, [F] a 4, [G] a 5, [F] a 4, [C] and back to 1.
Okay.
And the bass line also stays the same way.
So, [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [C] again. _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _
All I'm doing is [G] just 1 [Fm] and then the 5th of it.
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
Okay, you can arpeggiate it.
_ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ The melody of that song is very simple.
Okay, _ [B] _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[A] that's the melody. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _
[C] Now if you want to harmonize it with the Kevin Yarko scale of chords, this is how it will sound.
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Again.
_ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ Then we have the chorus.
_ [G] Then the repeat.
_ [D] _ _ _ [B] _ _
[E] _ Okay, [C] so it's kind of a call and response.
Okay, so let's take the progression, add it to the bass line, and this is what you would get. _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _

[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [N] Okay.
