Chords for The Role of an Auxiliary Keyboard Player | Worship Band Workshop

_ _ _ But Kiko is the auxiliary keyboard player.
He's, you know, I'm playing keys all the time,
almost on every song.
And Kiko's in kind of a support mode,
supporting what I do.
So, you know, this is,
he provides a lot of atmosphere for what we're doing. _
Just the overall pad, we call [N] him the pad man,
because that's what he's doing a lot of times.
So Kiko, talk about kind of your approach to, _
obviously, if you're leading yourself,
you can play differently,
but as an auxiliary keyboard player, what's your approach?
I guess as an auxiliary player, I'm always,
I'm kind of locked into what the piano player is doing.
We kind of have to, we kind of [Fm] have to live.
It's my job to support Don on what he's doing. _ _
So I don't want to take up a whole lot of space, _
but I want to make sure I'm supporting him
and that he feels like, you know,
even if he has to let up for a second, you know,
that there'll be coverage there.
But a lot of times it's playing in different spaces.
So if he's playing in a particular inversion,
then I should invert up and play something different.
So a lot of times, even sonically,
he's playing piano and driving it for the most part.
So usually I kind of have an EP that's sort of always on
and it's very warm.
I mean, you wouldn't play it to lead by [F] yourself.
You know, it kind of sounds like this, you know,
and by itself, it's nothing special,
but then it allows my pads to kind of blend in with it
_ and give me a little attack.
Let's take, say, Thank You, Lord, for instance.
What are you playing like on the verse?
Well, what are you playing on the intro?
Yeah, I'm just highlighting you. So. _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ Okay.
[C] And what are you doing on the verse?
I'm just logging in.
I come before you today.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ There's just one thing [Dm] that I want to say.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [Am] _ That's really [Bb] it.
Pretty simple.
You, [C] Lord.
Let's go to the pre-chorus.
_ [F] With a grateful [C] heart, with a song of praise,
[F] with an outstretched arm, I will bless your name.
That's it.
And thank you, [C] Lord.
I just [F] want to thank you, [C] Lord.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] _ That's pretty much it.
I just [Bb] want to [F] thank you, [C] Lord.
_ Thank [F] you, Lord.
_ Okay.
You know, so [Eb] my.
Yeah, so it's super [D] sparse,
just way kind of in the background.
That's auxiliary keys.
I mean, he is not the lead keyboard player,
and I'm [F] playing, you know.
I come before you [C] today.
_ _ _ [Gm] _
So I'm doing that.
If he was doing that as well,
it's just going to take up a lot of space in the mix.
And so he's like way back,
just kind of doing this pad thing.
You almost don't know he's there,
but if he pulls out,
you definitely notice a difference.
So he's creating an atmosphere. _ _ _ _ _
