[G] _ _ _ _ This lesson will cover how to play congregational songs in the key of E flat.
_ You can use this pattern on I'm a Soldier in the Army of the Lord, _ Jesus is on the Main
Line, I Get Joy When I Think About What He's Done for Me, and several others that use [Eb] the same pattern. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Eb] _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Fm] _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ To start this lesson, _ _ _ _ _ your right hand is going to hit a B flat to a C, _ _ _ _ then your left hand
is going to hit two E flats, right hand is going to finish out an E flat chord inverted.
_ G, B flat, E flat. _ _ _ _ _ _
I like to bounce on that [Ab] E flat in [Dbm] my left and I [Eb] add that B flat from time to time.
_ _ _ _ [G] And when you're bouncing your right hand, you're going to bounce between an inverted E flat
chord, [Eb] G, B flat, E flat, _ and an A flat [Ab] chord, A flat, C, E flat, with that B flat in there.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Gb] Army of the Lord, you can go to a B flat, [Eb] D flat, E [Gb] flat, and a G flat. _
And your left [Eb] hand is going to [F] walk [G] _ [Ab] _ _
[Eb] up to the A flat.
_ E [F] flat, F, [Gb] F sharp, [G] G, [Ab] A flat.
And when your left hand hits the A flat, _
[Ebm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
you're going to hold a G flat, B flat, _ C, _ E flat,
and you can add this G flat on top if you would like. _ _
_ [Ab] Then your left hand is going to walk down to the F.
[G] _ [F] _ _ [Ab] _ _ A flat, G, _ G flat, [Gb] F. _
_ _ [Bbm] And when your
left hand hits the F, your right hand is going to go back to that B flat, D flat, [Gb] E flat,
_ G flat, _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ B flat in your left, _ with an inverted F minor chord in the right, [Fm] A flat, C, [Ebm] F.
_ [Fm] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
Resolve that phrase out on an E flat in your left with an E flat chord we started on, inverted. _
And then you would play that section again. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ [Fm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ Now let's look at if we went from I'm a soldier in the Army of the Lord to Jesus is on the main line.
You would use this same exact chord, but you would change up the rhythm [Eb] just a little bit.
_ I'm a soldier, _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ [Eb] _ _ _ Jesus is on the main line.
_ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ Notice [C] how I didn't do the walk down in my left hand, but I stayed on that top chord
and then eventually ended up on the [Eb] E flats with the inverted E flat chord in the right.
_ _ So you'll notice in playing congregational songs, you're playing the same chords.
You just have to change up the rhythm sometimes, and sometimes you have to leave out a chord
or two or add a different pattern. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Fm] _ [Eb] _ Change it. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It's not to say that you couldn't have added [Ab] _
[Gb] those _ [Fm] _ [Eb] _ _ chords to Jesus [G] is on the main line,
but pay close attention [Ab] to how the soloist is singing the song and add them as you will. _
_ _ Another part that you would use on the Jesus is on the main line section in E flat is where
you would [Eb] go.
