What's [N] up family?
David Carter right here again.
I want to do something a little different this time.
Before we get started, let's really have a word of prayer.
God, we come to you thanking you for all the gifts that you have [Bb] imparted.
We thank you for [G] everything that you've done for us.
[Ab]
God, we ask for [A] understanding.
We ask for knowledge, the knowledge to be able to teach
[Ab] effectively.
We ask that you give the listeners the [A] understanding to accept [N] everything that is coming to them.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
[Ebm]
[Db] All right, here we go.
Oh, so the song I'm playing is If It Had Not Been [Bb] For The Lord On My Side, [Ab] Tell Me Where
Would I [Eb] Be.
So, here we go.
[Bm] I don't know what the style of playing is that I'm doing for this video, but it's really
been incorporated into a lot of my playing here lately.
I would say the first person that I ever heard play like this was a guy named Mark Rucker
here in Louisville.
[F] And it's kind of like, I guess a lot of his influence was kind of like Art Tatum and people like that.
[Bbm] [Abm] [Ebm] Just that [G] old.
[Db] [Ab]
[Db] [N] So let's get into it.
So we're in C sharp, D flat, whatever you want to call it.
And the scale to C sharp would [Db] be C sharp, [B] E [F] flat, [Gb]
[B] [Db] F sharp,
[B] A [Bb] flat, [C] B flat,
[Gb] C, and [N] C sharp.
The number system would [Db] start with C sharp being the one, [Eb] two, [F]
three, [Gb] [Ab]
five, [Bbm]
[C] six, seven,
and then we [Db] go back to the one.
So, let's do the first phrase of that.
[C] [Db] So, [Ebm]
[Db] [Gb] [G]
[Db] [Gbm]
[Bbm] [F] [Eb]
[Ebm] [Db] [Ab] [Db]
[N] let's do that.
And that's basically the whole [Db] song.
So,
[Ebm] [Db] [Gb] [G]
[Db] [Eb] [Bbm]
[F] [Eb]
[Ebm] [Db]
[Ab] let's learn that.
[Db] So, we can [Eb]
[Bb] start on the five with that [Db] or we can just play the melody.
A [Abm] lot of people would start with the chord [Bb] on the five [Ebm]
and then move the [Bbm] melody up.
[Gb] So, let's learn that.
So, A flat on the left, F sharp major chord.
We have F sharp, we have B flat, and C sharp.
[Ebm]
So, we move that [Db] C sharp up to E [Eb] flat.
[Gb] [Db]
And right here, when we get to that, we have [Ab] C sharp, [F] A flat, [Db] F, A flat, C sharp, and F.
[Gb] [Ebm] [Db]
[Ebm] I like this chord a lot.
I don't know what you would call it.
I know this is a triad.
[F] I don't really know.
[C] God's going to bless me to go [Fm] back to school and learn all [Ebm] this theory real soon.
[F]
So, we have E [Ebm] flat in the bass, F sharp, [C] [F] C, and F.
[Gb] So,
[Db] we're [Ebm]
[Db] going back to a C sharp major chord.
So, we have [F]
F, [Db] we have C [F] sharp in the left, [Fm] F, A flat, [Db] and C sharp.
So, again, [Gb] that's
[Db]
[Ebm] [Db] And then [E] when you get the feel [Db] of it, [Abm] you can make it as churchy as you want.
[Db] [F] [Bbm]

_ [Bbm] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ [N] let's do that.
And that's basically the whole [Db] song.
So, _ _
[Ebm] _ [Db] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Db] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ let's learn that.
[Db] So, we can [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ start on the five with that [Db] or we can just play the melody. _ _ _ _
_ _ A _ [Abm] lot of people would start with the chord [Bb] on the five _ [Ebm] _
and then move the [Bbm] melody up.
[Gb] So, let's learn that.
So, A flat on the left, _ F sharp major chord.
We have F sharp, _ _ we have B flat, and C sharp.
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
So, _ we move that [Db] C sharp up to E [Eb] flat. _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ And right here, when we get to that, we have _ [Ab] C sharp, _ [F] A flat, _ _ [Db] F, _ _ _ _ A flat, _ C sharp, and F. _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ I like this chord a lot.
I don't know what you would call it.
I know this is a triad.
_ [F] _ I don't really know.
[C] _ God's going to bless me to go [Fm] back to school and learn all [Ebm] this theory real soon.
[F] _
_ So, we have E [Ebm] flat in the bass, _ F sharp, [C] _ _ [F] C, and F.
_ [Gb] So, _ _ _
[Db] _ we're [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ going back to a C sharp major chord.
So, we have _ [F]
F, _ [Db] _ _ _ we have C [F] sharp in the left, _ _ [Fm] F, A flat, [Db] _ _ and C sharp.
So, again, _ _ [Gb] _ that's_
_ [Db] _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Db] _ And then [E] when you get the feel [Db] of it, [Abm] you can _ _ _ make it as churchy as you want.
