LadyDpiano: March 2009

"It's not surprising that Kirk Franklin's second album, Kirk Franklin & the Family Christmas, sold over 500,000 copies in the first 14 weeks after it was released. This album is filled with 11 Christmas songs presented in true Franklin fashion. The album begins with calypso-like music and a sincere Christmas greeting from Franklin. Then the man and his 17 backup singers (the Family) begin singing an abbreviated version of "Silent Night" before proceeding to sing about God's amazing love in "Now Behold the Lamb."

I did not grow up in the church listening to Shouting Music. Nor have I had the opportunity to play Shouting Music. But I am surrounded by so many musician friends who play Shouting Music and play it well! I decided to share a little with you on what I have learned. There is so much info available to us from the pros online!

* T-Block's Ultimate Shouting Music Post
This post is all about what to do with your RH when playing shouting music. You can either play chords or runs in your RH. Here, I am going to focus on the chords. Your main chords for playing shouting music are the minor 1 and minor 2.

Here they are:

Eb-Gb-Bb (1) = Eb minor
F-Ab-C (2) = F minor

http://www.musicianslearningcenter.net/forum/index.php?topic=314.0

Also, you can add the minor 7th note to those chords and play them like that. Here they are:

Eb-Gb-Bb-Db (1) = Eb minor 7th
F-Ab-C-Eb (2) = F minor 7th

You can also play a combination of those chords above. You should really get used to playing those chords forwards and backwards. Here are a few practice sets for you:

/ Db-Gb-Bb
/ C-F-Ab
/ Bb-Eb-Gb
/ Ab-C-F
/ Gb-Bb-Eb
/ F-Ab-C
(repeat)

/ Db-Gb-Bb
/ F-Ab-C
/ Gb-Bb-Eb
/ Ab-C-F
/ Bb-Eb-Gb
/ C-F-Ab
(repeat)

/ Db-Eb-Gb-Bb
/ C-Eb-F-Ab
/ Bb-Db-Eb-Gb
/ Ab-C-Eb-F
/ Gb-Bb-Db-Eb
/ F-Ab-C-Eb
(repeat)

/ Db-Eb-Gb-Bb
/ F-Ab-C-Eb
/ Gb-Bb-Db-Eb
/ Ab-C-Eb-F
/ Bb-Db-Eb-Gb
/ C-Eb-F-Ab
(repeat)

Other RH chords that are used in my shouting music are:

Major 4 = Ab-C-Eb (Ab major chord)
Dominant 7th 4 = Ab / Gb-Bb-C-Eb or Ab / C-Gb-Bb (Ab 7th chord)
Fully diminished 1: Gb-A-C-Eb (Eb fully diminished chord)
*Dominant 7th chord = b7-3-5-1: Example = Db-G-Bb-Eb (Eb 7th chord)
*13th chord = b7-3-13-1: Example = Db-G-C-Eb (Eb 13th chord)

*These 2 chords can be formed on every bass note.

* Shouting Chords- Hear and Play
Jermaine Griggs has written about the Shouting Chord:
"I ALWAYS (I mean always) play this chord at church when playing during a jubilant period of the worship service. It’s simply a dominant chord with an added “flat 5th” tone. Now … the trick is that you don’t play all the tones of the dominant chord. JUST certain tones sound right and I’m going to show you which ones they are below:

In Ab Major:

Bass: There isn’t a particular bass for this chord. It can be played over a “running” bass if it is being used as a “fill-in” for shouting music OR … it can be played in a blues progression. Keep in mind that this chord is just a “fill in.” Play it when it “feels” right…

Right hand: Ab + D + Eb + Gb

Note: This chord should be played on the upper part of the piano (not too high but definitely not too low). Test it out at different locations for the best possible sound, ok?"

http://www.hearandplay.com/main/tag/shouting-chords

Hear and Play offers a Dvd Course just for Shouting Music:

Gospel Keys 500 will show you how to discover the
three main parts of shouting music and what it takes to
master this style of up-tempo playing. With this
over-the-shoulder approach, you will be sure to learn
tons of bass runs, right-hand movements, licks, and
tricks.

Master shouting music by learning never-before-seen techniques. In this
course, shouting music is broken into three key
sections: "The
Shouting Intro," "The
Main Loop Period" and "The
Cool-down." You'll explore each part, step-by-step.
You won't find shouting music taught in these 3 steps
ANYWHERE ELSE!

Added benefit: You'll also learn about the power
tritones in shouting music and how they allow your right
hand to play super-fast movements, fill-ins, and runs
while maintaining the left hand. Other topics covered
are "stride piano," "modulation," "role
reversal techniques," and "linear
shouting styles!"

* God's Gospel

http://www.godsgospel.com/godsgospel_hearandplay_january_2006_newsletter.html
Because shouting music is so repetitive (it's generally the same bass run over and over), you want to include other things (like variations in bass runs and different right-hand chordal movements and fill-ins) to spice things up. Here's what I learned:
Three main parts of shouting music

1) The "Intro"

2) The "Main Loop" Period

3) The "Cool Down"

Part One: The Intro

The Intro is the start of the "shouting" period.

You won't find full-length ascending and descending bass runs like I've posted above.

Instead, you have teasers like:

C -- Db --- D --- Eb. Usually the C and Db are played in pairs and the D and Eb are played in
pairs.

That's your left hand. As for your right hand, as shown in GospelKeys 500, you'll play something
like:

Bb Eb Ab (over the "C" bass from above)

B Eb F Ab (over the "Db" bass from above)

B D F Ab (over the "D" bass from above)

C Eb Ab (over the "Eb" bass from above)

This generally repeats for a good amount of time. The "Main Loop" period will usually follow
right after.

* Jamal Hartwell
Shouting Music

"Of course, what would an old school service be like, without shouting music. The hardest part about shouting music is coordinating your left and right hands. I teach you this. It is also important to learn the difference between the devotional bass line walk and a shouting bass line walk. They are very different and I show you when, and how to use it. The #1 thing for a beginner is coordination and I'll show you the secrets to starting slow and building up to faster coordination tricks. I also teach you the important trick of how to shout in every key and how to find the sweet spots to shouting music."

Chord progressions are just a way to get the harmony to support the melody. In any key, if your melody sticks to the key you are in then the one chord will harmonize three notes, the five chord will harmonize two additional notes and the four chord will harmonize the remaining two notes.

So the I IV V chords will harmonize every note in a given melody providing it stays in key. You can replace the two chord for the four chord, so now we get the 2 5 1...

You can expand the one chord, meaning if you are sitting on it for a while
you can play different bass notes under to help create motion. That is where we get the 1 3 6 2 5 1... the vi chord and the iii chord fill in for the 1 chord and the vii fills in for the V chord. The vi chord can also lead to the IV chord.

All this may seem confusing but it all starts with the I chord and the V chord and the IV. If you just use these three chords you can play with most songs. I wrote 3 Chords You Just Gotta know! You can check it out here:

http://zone.hearandplay.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=48

When you get more advanced you can use the 2 5 1 as a little intro to each new chord you will play.

So to introduce the I chord you play ii V and then I... When you want to go to the IV chord you introduce it by playing a ii V I in the key of the IV chord. So if you were in the key of C and you want to go to the F, you introduce the F by playing g min7 C7
Fmaj...2 5 1... Now you have it! 2 5 1 are derived from 4 5 1 and they have over time become embellishments as well static chords to rest on to support the melody.

Where to apply them:
2-5-1 is used most times at the end of a piece of music to resolve the progression back to 1. See both examples below.

No Weapon by Fred Hammond Example-Key of Ab

/Ab, Bb, C – There, is, No
8. Ab-Ab/EbGBbC, Bb, Ab – Weapon
7. G-G/DbFGBb(7), C/DbEGBb(3)- Formed (Circle of 4th – G, C, F or 7-3-6)
6. F-F/EbFAbC(6), Bb, Ab – Against Me
5. Eb-Eb/DbGbBb(5), Ab-Ab/CGbBb(1) – That Shall (Circle of 4th – Eb, Ab, Db or 5-1-4)
4. Db-Db/EbFAbC(4), Bb, Ab – Not Prosper

(Now look at the last five notes of the Ab ex. Above C, F, Bb, Eb, Ab – all using the circle of 4th 3-6-2-5-1)

3. C-C/BbEbAb(3), FCEb/BbCEbAb(6)– Use this chord instead of previous
2. Bb-Bb/CDbFAb(2) – It Won’t
Eb-Eb/DbFAbBb(5) - Work
1. Ab-Ab/EbGBbC(1), Bb, Ab – Weapon

Jesus is Love by Commodores-Key of Ab

8. Ab-Ab/EbGBbC – Father
7. G-G/DbFGBb(7), C/DbEGBb(3)- Help Your (Circle of 4th – G, C, F or 7-3-6)
6. F-F/CEbAb(6) – Children
5. Eb-Eb/DbGbBb(5), Ab-Ab/CGbBb(1) – And Don't let them (Circle of 4th – Eb, Ab, Db or 5-1-4)
4. Db-Db/AbCEbF(4) – Fall

(Now look at the last five notes of the Ab ex. Above C, F, Bb, Eb, Ab – all using the circle of 4th 3-6-2-5-1)

3. C-C/BbEbAb(3), FCEb/BbCEbAb(6)– by the side of the
2. Bb-Bb/CDbFAb(2) – road.
Eb-Eb/DbFAbBb(5)
1. Ab-Ab/EbGBbC(1) – Walk-on

2 5 1 (or ii V I in roman numerals as most theory books will use) is a basic cadential progression throughout music. In other words it leads to a "resting" point, temporary or permanent. The thing is you need to think beyond the ii V I of just the given key (such as in F -- G C F) because, although the song is in F, there may be ii V I patterns leading to other keys.

Take the beginning of "Amazing Grace"

C7 F Cm7 F7 Bb C7 F
A - Mazing Grace How Sweet the Sound

The Cm7 F7 Bb is ii V I in the key of Bb and we have temporarily rested in Bb
Note that IV and ii are almost functionally identical and often interchangeable. A Bb6 chord has the same notes as a Gm7. We could then add a Gm7 between the Bb and the C7 and get a II V I in F.

Am7 Dm7 Gm7 C7 F
Was blind but now I See

Again Gm7 C7 F is ii V I in the key of F.
Note that you could change the Gm7 to a G7

Often ii V I is taught the ii is minor and V is Dominant and I is either Tonic Major or Minor. But actually, they can be about any quality -- the II dominant 7 etc. Note that the Am7 Dm7 G(m)7 progression could be ii V I in G (though functionally here that is stretching things a little bit.

Learn to listen to the bass line for that pattern and note that it may not be in a temporary key of a song.

Another common chord progression is the I IV V IV I... You'll hear this chord progression in Rock, Gospel and Jazz.

Then there's the 12 Bar Progressions, those blues chord progressions.

A great source for these blues chord progressions can be found at the Classic Cat

http://www.classiccat.net/dictionary/chord_progressions.htm

C is the one chord- I Major
Dm is the two - ii minor
Em is the three - iii minor
F is the four - IV Major
G is the five - V Major
Am is the six - vi minor
B diminished is the seven - vii diminished

When you know every chord in the key of C, we can create a chord progression. Here are ten common progressions in the key of C:

I - V
C - G
I - vi - ii - V
C - Am - Dm - G
I - IV
C - F
I - vi - IV - V
C - Am - F - G
I - vi
C - Am
I - vi - ii - vii
C - Am - Dm - Bdim
I - IV - V
C - F - G
I - vi - IV - vii
C - Am - F - B dim
I - ii - V
C - Dm - G
I - vi - V
C - Am - G

Songs which use a simple chord progression (some are above):

1. (I - IV - V) 'La Bamba' - Richie Valens
2. (I - IV) 'You Can't Always Get' - Rolling Stones
3. (IV - V - I) 'Mr. Tambourine Man' - Bob Dylan

My friends over at HearandPlay have posted great information on their blog regarding common chord progressions:

http://www.hearandplay.com/main/learn-these-most-common-chord-progression-types-and-never-get-stuck-again

Stray411 has shared a great video for us on how to build chord progressions using minor chord progressions for an example.

Then there are great ear training and fun, free games about learning chord progressions!

http://www.hry.in/Music_Flash_hry_games/20080418/3034.html

Plus, you can print out this great newsletter from Jermaine Griggs on Gospel Chord Progressions.

http://www.hearandplay.com/piano-chords-piano-chord-progressions/gospel-bass-runs.html

So, chord progressions are definitely related to the scale!

You can develop your skills in learning how to play piano without having to use a bass line. This is true, especially if you're playing the keys with a bass player in the band. You certainly do not want a battle going on between the keyboard bass line and the electric bass line.

Have you ever heard a musician use the term "Pocket"? A good "pocket" is achieved when the rhythm is playing together and establishing a groove that is soothing. Each musician is functioning in their roll in a tasteful non-abrasive manner and not competing and playing over each other.

So how do you develop this skill? You have to gain an understanding of left hand chord voicings. These are chords played in the left hand that are rootless. The term "rootless" means that there is no bass note in the chord. Playing this type of chord voicing will allow the bass player to play the bass notes and free the keyboard player to improvise or create more intricate harmony with the right hand.

Contemporary musicians usually play these chords using sevenths, ninths, elevenths, and thirteenth chords. All the chords for the right hand can be played with the left hand. Here is a diatonic chord exercise. For example, in the key of C major there at eight diatonics derived from the C major scale.

C maj7= C/B E G

D min7= D/C F A

E min7= E/D G B

F maj7= F/E A C

G add2= G/G A B D

A min7= A/G C E

G/B= B/G B D

C= C/G C E

Notice that each chord is spelled out with the root. When you practice these chords only play the right hand portion. For example when you play the Cmaj7, only play B E and G. The C is played by the bass player. These chords will also serve as substitutions for your major and minor triads. If you normally play a Dm chord, play a Dm7. The 2-5-1's in both major and minor keys should also be practiced in the left hand.

Jazz piano chords played as rootless chord voicings give that open, airy sound that I love. For further study of rootless voicings visit

What does voicing mean exactly? Simply put, voicing is the way chords are played which gives them their timbre or richness. In other words it’s how many notes are played, the distance between each of the notes and the quantity and quality of extensions.

There are literally thousands of ways to play a single chord. There are also millions of ways to play a chord progression if you consider that each chord can be played a thousand different ways. However, it’s likely a good idea to start off with a few solid possibilities instead of a thousand.

For example, let’s take a Cmaj7 chord. The chord itself is simple enough and is made up of C E G and B. However, depending on how rich you want the chord to sound you can also add D and A to the chord as extensions. Why? Because D and A come from the C major scale and do not clash with the basic chord.

These are what we call extensions. In other words a good pianist will already consider D and A in their chord voicing when they see the chord symbol Cmaj7. It doesn’t have to be written Cmaj7 (9 13) for them to understand this.

So, how would a pianist then voice this chord? Well, for starters, that depends on the melody. Whatever the melody note is will become the highest note of the chord. For example, let’s say D is the melody note of prominence while the chord is being played. That means that for a pianist our 9th is already understood as part of the chord and is the top note.

Next, it’s generally a good idea to play the bass note in the left hand which is C of course. Then the next 2 most important notes are the 3rd and the 7th because these notes give the chord its flavor. Consider playing the 7th in the left hand above the bass note. That would mean playing the C with finger 5 (baby finger) and B with finger 1 (thumb).

Then, play the 3rd, 5th and melody (9th) in the right hand with the 1st, 2nd and 5th fingers respectively. What’s left? The 13th or A which, you can cover with the 3rd finger of the right hand. So, from bottom to top you would have the notes in this order; C B E G A and D. That right there is a very rich sounding chord and you’d have to go a long way to find one richer.

However, this is only one way of voicing the chord. There are literally thousands of ways. My suggestion is this; learn one way at a time until it becomes second nature. Voicing the root and 7th in the left hand and covering the 3rd and the melody in the right hand is a very good system to start with. Then with your left over fingers in the right hand cover the 5th and any other extension that’s available. This works for all chords including major, minor, dominant and diminished chords.

Once you’ve learned this way of voicing chords it becomes much easier to tackle a new formula because this one is already clear and concrete and will help you hear very clearly the difference between the chords.

Have you heard of Quartal Voicings? A new field in harmony is to build chord structures in fourths (quartals). It produces a more open harmony and is a very practical resort for pianists. Left hand plays chord voicing in fourths. Do Quartal Voicings departing from 3. from 13, from 9, from 7
In the upper staff: Take notes of C scale in fourth intervals departing from B.
All are notes of extended C chord: 7, 3, 13, 9, 5, 1. Play in r.h.arpeggiated:
B-E-A-D-G-High C
B-E-A-D-G-High C
B-E-A-D-G-High C
B-E-A-D-G-High C

Practice these four voicings:

C/ D-G-C
C/ E-A-D
C/ A-D-G
C/ B-E-A

George Varga, Pop Music Critic, wrote a great article (Big) Easy on the ear
LOS ANGELES — This feels like history,” Allen Toussaint said last month, just before receiving his Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award at an invitation-only ceremony.

"The New Orleans rock, funk and R&B legend was referring to his fellow Lifetime Achievement Award recipients. They included Motown vocal greats The Four Tops, jazz piano icon Hanks Jones, 100-year-old classical music composer Elliot Carter and singer Brenda Lee, along with posthumous honorees Gene Autry, Dean Martin and electric guitar innovator Clarence “Leo” Fender."

How to Do a Left Chord Inversion on the Piano

Summary: Chord Inversions are helpful when playing the piano so that you have more options for playing. Here is how you would play a chord inversion with your Left Hand.

* Start with a C chord. The notes for a C chord are C, E, G. This is also called the root. A C chord will always be C, E, G no matter how you rearrange it. Just like 1 + 2 + 3 = 6, no matter how you rearrange the numbers. Play the C, E, G with your #5 finger, #3 finger and #1 finger.

* To play the 2nd inversion of the chord you need to rearrange the 3 notes. For the 2nd inversion, the notes will be in this order, E, G, C. Use your #5 finger, #3 finger and # 1 finger.

* The 3rd inversion is the same notes rearranged again, G, C, E. There is just a little change in the finger numbers, though. Use #5, #2 and #1.

* This same format is used for every chord. Have your fingers use the same pattern for all the chord inversions.

* How to Put Together Chord Inversions

For jazz, rock, guitar, piano and everything that involves playing or writing music, chord inversions are a must to know. They give you the ability to create a better flow to the song and to make it easier to get from one chord to the other.

The basic concept to keep in mind with chord inversions is that you are simply taking the notes from the regular stack of notes and moving them to a different place on the guitar, piano or staff.

* Practice playing the major chords in different inversions. Inversions of a chord use the same notes, but place a different note in the bass. For example, a C major chord is C, E, G. The first inversion of the C-major chord is E, G, C. The second inversion is G, C, E.[1]

PIANO CHORD FINGERING for the LEFT HAND:
The same principle as the right hand, just reversed.

BASIC IDEA FOR CHORD FINGERING for the LEFT HAND:

Chords are every other note so use every other finger. 5-3-1

Using C chord inversions for examples: It's all about spacing.

FIRST INVERSION C CHORD = E - G - C Use 5-3-1

1. E TO G = 3 note interval E - F - G, smallest grouping of notes
2. G TO C = 4 note interval G - A - B - C, largest grouping of notes

FIRST INVERSION CHORDS SHOULD USE FINGERING 5-3-1.
This is very easy fingering in the left hand, because when playing
G and C, we can use the widest range in our hand the 3 to the thumb.

SECOND INVERSION C CHORD = G - C - E Use 5-2-1
1. G to C = 4 note interval, G - A - B - C largest grouping of notes,
2. C TO E =3 note interval, C - D - E smallest grouping of notes

SECOND INVERSION CHORDS SHOULD USE FINGERING 5-2-1
WHY? G to C is the largest grouping of notes, so we have to
accommodate that with using the 2 finger on C, adding more
space between our fingers.

Remember, the basic principles of fingering is to use your fingers and hand
in natural positions. Always think of how the black keys are used in your
songs, and how to use the tight and open hand spans. I hope you get the idea of
chord fingerings to help you play left hand chord inversions.

All the best,
LadyD
