GospelKeys 350: Praise and Devotional Songs Video Course (Digital Version)
This 2-hour DVD is specifically designed for any church musician who's ready to take their organ playing to the next level by playing those toe-tapping, foot-stomping praise songs!
Similar to the five parts taught in GospelKeys 300 (but on the organ, which is a totally different "beast"), we show you a system that'll enable you to play tons of praise songs by ear. We're talking about praise and devotional songs like "Bless that Wonderful Name of Jesus," "This Little Light of Mine," "Have You Tried Jesus," "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah," and dozens more! If you want to know what it takes to get down on the organ, then this course is for you!
- How to play uptempo praise songs using my award-winning 5-step process and tons of bass lines, right-hand chordal movements, "runs," "licks," and more!
- How to incorporate the "third element" into your playing to produce the sound of a full band, especially if you're the only musician!
- Discover the secrets to playing hundreds of "call-and-response" hand-clapping praise songs in all 12 keys just by knowing a few well-known organ patterns!
- Learn how to play common progressions and turnarounds like the "1-4," "7-3-6," "6-2-5-1," and how to apply them to your favorite congregational songs like "Bless that Wonderful Name of Jesus," "God is a Good God," and more!
- An "over-the-shoulder" and "behind-the-foot" look at how to combine the power of the foot pedal, left hand, and right hand and what it takes to play all three of these components in sync.
- Over 40 bass runs, chords, progressions, and fill-ins to apply to your organ playing right away! After learning these things in all 12 keys, you'll instantly have over 480 chords to add to your gospel playing toolbox.
- Discover the simple secrets to effectively using the drawbars, percussions, and settings to obtain the contemporary sound that you desire.
- Learn the proper techniques to playing the bass pedals cleanly and smoothly. If you're not familiar with the "toe-heel" technique to double the speed of your bass-walking, then you're missing out!
- How to get away with playing advanced "phat" chords (...that are normally used for worship) during high tempo praise songs. The combination of these contemporary chords during a fast praise song is explosive!
- Learn the way of the west coast and how to contemporize your praise & devotional songs using "west coast" chords, movements, and runs!
- The secrets behind one-note pivots and how just a few little changes to the way you play chords can totally transform your sound on the organ. Remember: The way you approach the organ is not the same as the piano.
- Several left-hand/right-hand combinations that can be used interchangeably to create dozens of chordal variations. For example, you can use the left-hand chord from set #1 with the right-hand chord or fill-in from set #3. You'll learn a variety of sets and various things to do on both hands.
- How to master 8-note bass lines (traditional) and even modern 16-note connecting bass runs (...this has never been taught before)! This is one of those things you pull out of your bag of tricks after you've repeated a praise song several times.
- Learn how to power up your left hand by forming a variation of the chord you're right hand is playing. This strategy alone will make your praise songs differ from the next musician tremendously.
- Discover 3 ways to syncopate the rhythms of your praise songs and how to provide multiplicity to the way you play them! Playing by ear means having options so you never have to play anything the same way twice!
- How to borrow chords from your praise song to accompany (...back up) a preacher during high points in the sermon! Believe it or not... preacher accompaniment follows the same exact patterns as praise songs (just slowed down).
- Chromatic "chord-sliding" techniques that can be integrated with any praise song ending to provide variety during long repetitive vamps.
- The use of tritones and how they are the heart & soul of organ praise song mastery! I've never met a professional organist who could play a full song without utilizing tritones --- they're that important and you'll get several examples of how to use them.
- Slow motion break-downs of advanced fill-ins and right-hand chordal movements so that you never miss a single beat!
- How to include 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, and several altered chords to spice up the sound of your praise songs!
- How to apply the same 5-part praise song process taught in GospelKeys 300 to the organ. This concept, alone, has allowed musicians to play hundreds of praise songs on the piano. Now you'll have what it takes to play these "A-B" and "A-B-C-D" songs on the organ!
