pls what kind of african praise songz can i listen to and if i'm to play a praise song in the key of c major what keys can i use to freestyle.

I still wan learn hopefully ma lessons starts todae 4pm

My advice to all those that want to learn chords is DON'T LEARN CHORDS BY NOTE BUT BY NAME. How? There is nothing like Do-chord, Re-chord, et al. Rather, there are Major, minor, suspended, diminished, augmented , etc chords.

am still learning

Elantracey:

Wow, that's nice

Ok! Time for questions

Q1: How long have you been playing piano?

Q2: Do you have a personal piano?

Q3:...

Karleb:

Pls elucidate more, I beg you!

here is what I mean. If for Instance you're learning in the Key of Cmajor, The Notes would be C D E F G A B C. Most keyboardist would say Do Re Mi Fa So La ti Do'. Then when learning the chords they would say pressing Do-mi-so gives the Do-chord, re-fa-La gives the Re-chord et al. Like, what the hell is Do-chord? Is it not actually supposed to be CMajor(C-E-G), Dminor(D-F-A) Eminor(E-G-B) etc. ? I hope you understand me.

I guess you're afraid of playing badly, right?

Ok! stop being playingbadophobic for once, and try to press something even if it's after service, you could try out the root cords you know?


Or am I talking gibberish?

spanzed: Was learning keyboard b4 but I backslided who can put me ryt on track

I've not really gone far o , I can only play a few chords and just one song I learnt which I must have forgotten since I've not touched the piano for a long while .

Karleb:

What part do you wish to know sir?

Karleb:

and why do keep stopping at etc

Pls explain into detailsssss

I stop at 'etc.' because I don't like giving stories. But you should Know what I mean. Or don't you?

gameboi: I stop at 'etc.' because I don't like giving stories. But you should Know what I mean. Or don't you?

Now I do!

Can. You pls tell me more about pentatonic scale?

Karleb:

Now I do!

Can. You pls tell me more about pentatonic scale?

hmm..! why do I have this feeling that you already know the answer to what you're asking me? Anyway, Pentatonic Scale is composed of 5 notes. In the common type played by most keyboardist, the IVth and VIIth note is removed(i.e it is not played when playing through a normal scale). Rather then play a complete Cmajor scale as C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C, it would be played as C-D-E-A-G-C' (the F and B has been omitted). There are different types of pentantonic scales like the major, minor, blues,harmonic minor, etc. The major purpose of a pentatonic scale is to give any solo an Oriental feel.

Wow I thought as much.


But, does that mean that I can use it to play the normal songs?

BTW, what's the formula for choosing the cords, like we have the "1 3 5, 3 5 1 & 1 5 3".

Pentatonic songs are specially written songs. You'll need to expertly fit them into any song you want to play. For more help you can download any Korean or chinese songs, most asian songs are played with pentatones. For your second question, those are chord inversions. Most keyboardists choose the one that helps them in smooth transition from one chord to another. Modern day keyboardists now add an octave i.e 1-3-5-1(octave), 3-5-1-3(Octave). Etc. To balance between the high and low pitch.

So now what type of chord progressions do modern keyboardist use to play praises

Fazi15: So now what type of chord progressions do modern keyboardist use to play praises

Lol. You're funny oh. chord progressions vary with songs. You can't use the same chord progression for all songs.

Good morning this morning...I'm enjoying this thread, and I salute you all
