Chords for Preaching Chords

_ _ _ Hey _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ guys, welcome back [E] today.
We got another cool lesson for you.
[B] _ We're talking [E] about the
churchy preaching chorus.
So how to back up [Db] your _ [Gb] pastor or preacher as they're tuning up.
_ [D] _ _
So let's jump right into it.
[E] We're in a KSC as always.
It's easier to [Bb] explain.
_ _ _ So let's start
with the bass notes. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ All right.
So that's the [Db] typical thing the organ player is calling out
[D] the numbers. _
You start with the stabs.
[E] Then as you build, you might get, you know, get to hold
the note a little bit more sustained.
_ So we're starting on that three [Ab] of C.
So that's E.
And so
we're walking from the three all the way to the five.
So from E to [E] G. _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
All _ right.
So we've, [D] we've
talked about these seven chords I'm going to [Am] introduce in a previous [D] lesson.
So we'll do the
one [C] over the three. _
[E] So that's the first inversion.
So _ that's a C with an E in the bass.
[E] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ As we walk
up, we'll go to the [F] four. _ _ _ _
So that's [A] our F.
_ _ [C] _ _
_ Then we have [Em] our G flat diminished [Ab] seven.
_ [A] _ _ [E] So we learned
in the diminished lesson [D] that that fully diminished chord [Gb] is movable by minor third.
[A] So _ same _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [F] _ _ [C] chord,
just a different [Db] inversion.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ So we [C] have the one over three, _ _ [F] four, _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Db] then the five.
[C] _
_ [Db] So over the [D] five,
we're actually playing a [C] diminished seven chord _ _ [G] with the five in the bass.
[Db] So that's the [E] C7 with
the [Gm] five in the bass.
[Ab] So, so that would be the second inversion.
So C7 [C] with a G in the bass. _ _
_ [E] But the way we're going to form that, we're going to leave the third out and we're going to [E] make it,
you know, convenient so we can stay in that same little shape and box right there.
So we have that
[G] B flat, [C] C, and then G.
So we're leaving the third, we're leaving the [Db] E out of it.
[C] _
_ _ _ And so that's
convenient. _
[F] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [C] _
_ _ [F] _ _ [C] It's [Dbm] convenient when we're [A] moving right there in that little shape.
_ [E] So if we put it all
together, _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [N] _
_ all right, so, and I'm comping, so I'm using just a [Dbm] higher _ string.
So from [A] that D to E,
[Ab] because I'm assuming that you will have a bass player.
So you let that guy handle all the bass
notes.
If not, you can play the full [C] chords.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Eb] _ _
[E] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[N] So all that works.
_ _ _ So let's add a little flavor to
it.
Put a little licks to it.
_ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [F] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [B] _ _ [C] _ _
All [E] _ _ right, so I just introduced some more [D] chords.
So this is similar
if you're doing, you know, a little shop [E] music. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ All right, so we know the first half, but once
we get up to [Em] that six or the five, [A] well, I'm sorry, the A, that's the six. _
[B] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] We're [Em] walking up
using dominant chords.
So dominant seven chords.
So [A] A seven, _ [Bb] _ _ [B] _ _ [C] _ _
all the way up to that [Ab] C.
But again,
I'm comping, so I'm using [G] the top half of that.
_ _ [B] _ _
[C] _ _ [N] _ So the whole thing. _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ [E] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ All right, so _ we [Db] have a D
minus [Dm] seven.
_ [Bb] So that's the same shape [F] as the F major.
_ [Bm] We'll put the F in the bass, that's the
four.
_ [B] If we put the D in the bass, [Dm] that's the two. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [Db] _ Half step up with the fully diminished.
[A] _ _ [C] _ _ [B] _
_ _ [E] _ _ On
the three, we're going to do [Em] a substitute.
We're going to play a half diminished.
So we're going
to do _ _ E [Ab] minus seven flat five. _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And then we'll turn it around with [A] a sharp nine, A sharp nine. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ And so we talked a little bit about theory using the two, five, one, and the last diminished
_ lesson.
So check that out if you're a little confused about why I'm playing with a flat.
_ [Dm] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ All right, here's some more ideas you can do.
[G] You can go to the flat seven, four, [B] and then the one. _
So in the key of C, the flat seven, well, the seven is B.
So flat that one more time,
[Bb] you have B flat. _
So we're going to play a B flat major.
Then we're going to go to [A] the F,
and then back to the C. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] All right, let's do some different voicings.
So
_ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [C] _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ if we can do a little bit more of a voicing, we can do a little bit more of a voicing.
All right, guys.
