GospelKeys 202: Mastering Worship Chords Video Course (Digital Version)
Gospel Keys 202 will show you, step-by-step, how to play contemporary worship music by ear.
We take you through every tone of the major scale and show you literally tons of chords you can play ranging from major, minor, diminished, dominant, sevenths, ninths, elevenths, thirteenths, altered chords, and more! Then you'll learn how to pair these chords together to create small progressions we call "couples." These progressions create your contemporary worship music.
By the end of this program, you'll be playing full chord progressions and actual worship songs like "Thank You Lord," "Hallelujah," and more!

Here is what you'll gain from studying with me:
* Discover my seven sets of couples and how to use them to play absolutely any worship song you want. I reveal seven different categories with several chords in each. Once you've mastered these chords and how to connect them together, your piano playing will never be the same!
* Learn how to form tons of different couples by just knowing a few select chords. You don't have to know hundreds of chords to play gospel music. In fact, all you really have to know is a few major, minor, dominant, and diminished chords, and let the power of "patterns" take over from there. Think about it? If I told you to rearrange the numbers "1", "2", "3", "4", and "5" as many ways as you could, you'd have more than 120 combinations. Well, the idea of "couples" is the same way.
* How to predict what chords will come next while learning a new worship song. Again, chords don't occur randomly. You'll learn exactly how to predict what chords to play next based on what you've already played. This won't require lots of thinking once you catch on to the concept! It's really simple.
* How to contemporize the chords you already know by adding "ninths" and "thirteenths" to your bag of tricks. There always seems to be this "x factor" that no one can explain. "If I'm playing the same major chord as this other musician, then why does he sound better than me?" There's a little finger trick you'll learn that will instantly modernize all of your major chords. You don't want to miss this one --- trust me.
* Discover one chord that is used in probably 60% of gospel worship music. All chords are not created equal. Some chords are used far more frequently than others. Not only will you be equipped with this one chord but you'll learn tons of chords like this --- chords that reappear in song after song. I will also show you how to pick out this chord in all of your gospel recordings because its definitely there (whether you hear it or not).
* An "over-the-shoulders" look at exactly what I do with my left hand. Many people struggle with things to do with their left hand. I will show you several different power chords to play as well as several left-hand arpeggio patterns that will easily compliment your right hand.
* Several "licks" and "tricks" that are ready-to-use the minute you turn off the tape. If you've always felt like you're repeating yourself or that you lack creativity, worry no more. I'm going to show you all types of little "licks" and "tricks" that will be sure to enhance your slow worship songs.
* Learn what I call my "7-couple" formula to playing tons of worship songs by ear! Just like you learned 5 steps to playing praise songs in GospelKeysTM 300, I will show you easy-to-understand steps to understanding how worship and slow songs are arranged!
* Discover my "3-4" principle to playing literally any worship chord progression by ear ... INSTANTLY! Chord progressions don't occur randomly. Certain chords lead to others and with this 3-4 calculation that I'm going to reveal, you will never ever have to guess where to go next! This has never been taught this way before!
* Learn over 60 new voicings, chords, progressions, and fancy arrangements to playing worship music! From fancy inversions of the ninth chord to the secret "Quartal" chord (which sounds very very smooth), you'll learn how to replace all of your basic triads and 3-fingered chords with full-sounding 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, and altered chords! Believe me when I say: "Others will notice!"
* Learn contemporary and alternative ways to playing worship favorites like "Anointing," "Thank You Lord," and others! While you'll be taught, step-by-step, how to play various songs by the end of GospelKeysTM 202, you'll be equipped with the right chords, progressions, and "couples" (see below) to play over 95% of gospel worship songs by ear! But what you have to realize is that most songs use the same progressions over and over in different ways. GospelKeysTM 202 *Special Edition* will show you how to recognize these changes in songs!
* Learn patterns (or what I'm calling "couples") like: "1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 1-6, 1-7, 2-5, 2-6, 3-6, 3-4, 4-5, 4-3, 4-6, 4-7, 5-1, 5-2, 5-4, 6-2, 6-7, 7-3, and many more! Don't be intimidated by the numbers. They are simply taken from major scales. The power in understanding all of these couples is that once you know them all, there will be absolutely NO SONG you won't be able to learn! These patterns are in 95% of all gospel worship songs and you'll know them after studying this course!
* Train your ear to recognize these small "couples" with specially designed ear-training sections of the video course (one-on-one with me)! Once you've mastered all of the "couples" above, then you must be able to recognize them in songs! I will constantly test you right there on the screen without you seeing the notes that I am playing in an effort to help you build your ear skills!
Additional concepts:
- How to repeat the ending of a worship song without using the same exact chords over and over!
