There's two or three versions of every chord, a lot more than that, but you have your basic triad.
This is a kind of really, really simple theory lesson.
Those of you who know this can sleep through it, but
some of you need to know that this is the basic triad in a chord is the 1-3-5.
[G] And there, you know, there's eight notes, [D] you know, 1-2-3-4-5-6-7,
Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, [C] Ti, Do.
So you have your basic triad, and then you have a first inversion, which is a C-E-G, then you got a E-G,
still a C chord, or
that's second inversion, still a C chord.
So for some reason,
[C]
I don't know, I'm not sure why, but I kind of ended up
playing a lot in second inversion, which, you know, for worship,
it's interesting because the fifth [G] of the chord, the G,
is in an octave.
So you got, [C]
it just gives it that open feeling.
See, if I played this,
you know, or
sounds so basic, that's a C chord, but when you play it like this, you know,
it just has a lot more of an open feel.
And what I discovered was,
when you play it in that inversion, you know,
you can add that [G] 9 or the sus2, it's the D, you know,
that.
So that's why I'll
play it, [F]
I'll [C] play that way a lot.
So I just kind of ended up in that
in that inversion.
And it's interesting when it comes to worship,
especially creating an atmosphere of worship.
If you've ever been in a
service where they're kind of singing freely to the Lord, you know,
[G] you hear people sing within that note, they'll sing the fifth.
[C] We bless you, Lord.
[D] We worship you.
That's the fifth.
[C] And so it just kind of,
that inversion kind of works really well in a worship setting.
It just gives you that open feel.
And again, I'm adding the sus2.
If you see that in a chord, in a chord symbol, C sus2,
that means a suspended second.
So, you know,
one, [D] two, three, four, five, six.
[Cm] So just,
you gotta understand there are eight tones in the scale.
[Gb] And if it says C sus2, it could be sometime called [D] sus9 as well,
because it's one, two, three, four, five, six, [Bb] seven, eight, nine.
It's kind of up there, but really it's a [G] sus2.
It gives that [C] feel, you know.
[G] So you'll see that a lot in modern worship songs, it'd be sus2.
[Ab]
And that's what that means.
It's the second,
it can get in that second [D] inversion and you, in the key of G, [Ab] it's this.
Here's a G [G] triad.
Here's the first inversion and second inversion,
which if you octave it, that gives you the,
the there you're in the fifth of the chord.
G is the one, [D] two, three,
four, five.
In that case, the A would be the sus2.
[C] So you hear what Kiko's doing.
He's just kind of there [F] setting this atmosphere of worship.
This is a kind of really, really simple theory lesson.
Those of you who know this can sleep through it, but
