Chords for Traditional Gospel Tutorial

_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Hey guys, thanks for tuning in today.
_ We're going to cover one of the most popular traditional gospel progressions that you might actually see in your everyday church encounters.
_ So it's the typical 1-6-2 [Em]-5-1 with a 1-4-5 turnaround. _
So let's dig into it.
_ _ Alright, so let's start by reviewing the progression.
_ So we're going to be in the key of C _ [C] and we're doing C, _ _ [A] A, _ _ _ [D]
D, _ _ [G] G. _ _ _
[C] So if we're just talking about the number of degrees, we're doing 1 [A]-6 [D] _ -2 [G] _
-5 [C]-1.
So if you're a little confused about that process, _ just check out the previous videos that we posted in the past.
You'll see a link in the description. _
Alright, so let's look at the chord types for those.
So we're going C, _ _ _ A [Am] minor, _ _ _ _ B minor, [Dm] _ _
_ _ G, [G] _ _ _ _
C.
[C] _ _ _ We're going to do a small turnaround where we're going to the 4 or F, [F] _ _
_ _ [C] back to C, _ walk up, _ [F] _ _ [F#] _ [G] _ _
5.
_ So that was walking from [Em] E _
[F] _ [F#] [G] to G. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So let's put the foundation together.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] Alright, so now it's time to spruce it up [C] a little bit.
So we're going to change some of the chord types.
So instead of using the major C, _ we're going to start with a dominant 7. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So this is the full chord, but I'm only going to play _ [B] the middle 3 strings of it.
[E] _ [D#] _ [D] _ _ [C] _ [C#] _
So we're going to keep that dominant 7 [C] and walk it all the way down [E] to the A.
[Am] So instead of playing an A minor, we're going to [A] play an A7. _ _ _
Here are the full chords.
[C] C, _ [B] _ [A#] _
_ [A] _ _ A. _ _ _
_ [Em] So instead [Dm] of playing _ a regular minor, D minor, we're going to [C] actually play _ a D9.
_ But we're going to put a little cool lick into it.
_ [D#] _ [E] _ _
_ [B] _ [D] _ [D#m] _ [C#] _ _ _ [A] _
_ [G] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
So we're breaking that chord, _ _ [E] _
_ [D#] _ [D] _ [C#] _ _ _ _
walking from [A] the A.
[E] _ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Now we're going to go to the G, [F#] _
[G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
[C] _ _ _ back to C. _
_ _ [F] _ [G] _ [C] _ [F] _ We just walked up to the 4 or F.
[C] _ _ _
_ [F] _ [G] _ [C] _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ C.
_ [E] _
[F] _ [A] _ _ [F] _ _ _ So we just [G] played a 5 over 4.
So what that is, [F]
that's the F chord.
_ But we're putting the [G] G in the bass, _ and we're also putting it on top. _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ Let's briefly talk about a small turnaround you can do.
So here it is. _
[F] _ [C] _ [B] _ [A] _ [Dm] _ [B] _ [C] _ _
_ So we're taking that C chord. _ _ _
So _ _ _ we're going from C, _ _ [F] _ _ D minor [Dm] 7.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ [C] Or it can actually be an [F] F. _ _ _
[C] _ So C, _ [F] F, _ [C]
C, F [B] step down, B, _
_ [Dm] D minor, _ [C] _ _
C.
Here it is.
_ [F] _ [B] _ _
[Dm] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So let's put it all together. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ [D] _
[C#] _ _ _ [A] _ [G#] _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ [Em] _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ [G] _ [C] _
[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _
[E] _ [F] _ [B] _ [C] _ _ _ _ [B] _
[Dm] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
