Yes, America The beautiful is a patriotic song. Perhaps you've been asked to play it in your church or at a special occasion. God Bless America is another favorite.
Practice playing America The Beautiful in all the keys!
Listen to various artists music - America The Beautiful
Wikipedia Blurb:
"America the Beautiful" is an Americanpatriotic song. The lyrics were written by Katharine Lee Bates and the music composed by church organist and choirmaster Samuel A. Ward. Bates originally wrote the words as a poem, Pikes Peak, first published in the July 4th edition of the church periodical The Congregationalist in 1895. The poem was titled America for publication. Ward had originally written the music, Materna, for the 1600s hymnO Mother dear, Jerusalem in 1882. Ward's music combined with the Bates poem was first published in 1910 and titled America the Beautiful. The song is one of the most beloved and popular of the many American patriotic songs.[1] From time to time it has been proposed as a replacement for The Star-Spangled Banner as the National Anthem."
Today we remember and honor those men and women in uniform who have died in service to our country. Hope you're having a beautiful day, this Memorial Day!

P.S. Hi Gospel lover,
I'm so excited to be writing you about a new resource that will
help you learn worship music by ear. As you know, it's very
hard to find materials on gospel music, so when I find out
about resources like this, I just have to let my subscribers
know!
Jermaine Griggs over at HearandPlay.com
has a worship course, GospelKeys 202
Special Edition - "Mastering Worship Chords."
Not only is it almost five hours (...that's one of the longest
I've seen for a gospel course), but it is packed with tons of
worship chords, progressions, songs (like "Anointing," "As the
Deer," "Thank You Lord," and more), and tons of concepts like
"coupling," his "3-4" principle on how to predict what chords
come next in worship songs, and special sections dedicated to
ear-training and chord recognition. That's actually only the
beginning of it.
He covers a systematic way to play worship songs. In other
words, he takes you through a song learning process that will
enable you not only to learn the songs he shows you step by
step, but to master literally tons of worship songs (because
most worship songs follow the same basic patterns as you'll
see)!
So if you're a church musician and have been struggling to play
worship music --- or, if you're an accomplished musician and
just want to learn more chords and concepts, I highly recommend
that you check out his course.
Here's some more information from Jermaine, himself, about his
worship course:
----------------------------------------------------
Disc 1: Introduction of tones, basic chords, extended voicings,
"music edutainment reality clips!" (1 hour and 25 minutes)
worth!
The first part of the course is focused on teaching you all the
chords you'll need to know to play a majority of worship songs.
From personal experience, I've found these same chords to be
present in just about 4 out of every 5 songs!
What most gospel musicians fail to realize is that chords are
recycled and played over and over again in different songs. So
part one focuses on getting you up to par, teaching you all the
chords you need to know to get started (both basic, extended,
quartal, and more)! Lots of content (various chord voicings,
inversions, and demonstrations) has been added to this section
and it goes beyond the basics --- you get a whopping 80 minutes
of step-by-step, over-the-shoulder instruction here!

GospelKeys 202 Special Edition, visit:
Disc 2: Extensive ear-training, chord prediction techniques,
and the "couple" system! (1 hour and 15 minutes)
Once you've mastered the chords and voicings from part one,
you'll learn, through a series of ear-training tests, how to
differentiate between certain sounds. Jermaine shows you how
to determine what types of chords and progressions are being
heard so that you skip all the mistakes that most musicians
make when learning new songs!
You'll also learn how to pinpoint patterns in chord progressions
and how to predict what's coming next in a song. Jermaine has taught
this technique to thousands of people and they've benefited
greatly from knowing exactly which chords lead to other chords! Music and progressions are circular and I'll teach you just how
to master this circle of chords and patterns!
Then, to top it all off, you'll learn Jermaine's couple system and how
it helps you to play all of your favorite worship songs by ear.
Many people get discouraged when learning new material but if
you can simply think of chord progressions as small couples
(just two chords at a time), you'll immediately understand how
songs and progressions work!
For more information on how to get your hands on the limited
GospelKeys 202 Special Edition, visit:
Disc 3: Vocal accompaniment, "real-life" worship songs, and
application! (1 hour and 25 minutes)
Part three brings everything together (the chords and voicings
from part one and the couples and progressions from part two)
and allows you to see, step-by-step, how to play worship hits
like "Thank You Lord," "As the Deer," "Anointing," Hallelujah,
"I Really Love the Lord (remix)," along with tons of "add-ons",
"fill-ins," and tricks that bring your favorite songs to life!
While five songs are specifically covered, chord-by-chord, the
systems and patterns you'll learn from the course will enable
you to apply these same techniques to tons of worship songs ---
all by ear!
With a live vocalist (not recorded -- but "live"), you'll get
firsthand experience at how to accompany a singer and what it
takes to play in this worship style. From left-hand movements
to right hand chordal arrangements, this special edition
over-delivers in many ways and you'll be sure to benefit from
almost 5 hours of instruction, demonstrations, and
explanations!

music playing. Don't forget to check out their other Gospel

I just wanted to let you know about 'Advanced Guitar 301' and a Music Dvd for the serious pianist! Yes, I have several friends that offer great teaching products and it seems everyone is having some type of sale this weekend!
Digital Version is finally available! It's a new guitar course available to musicians. My friends at Hear and Play always have great dvds available for playing piano by ear, drums and now a guitar course.
For The First Time Ever, Superstar Professional Guitarist, Jairus Mozee Takes You By The Hand And Drags You To "His World" Where He Personally Hand-Picks 20 Insanely Advanced Licks, Runs, Riffs, Patterns, and Fill-Ins You Can Outright STEAL And Apply To Your Own Playing Virtually Minutes After Watching!
Learn 20 Super Advanced Guitar Licks, Tricks, And Riffs Across 4 Different Styles...
Funk, R&B, Gospel, Jazz
Advanced Guitar 301 Trailer / preview
The structure of "Advanced Guitar 301 - Licks, Tricks, and Solos" is pretty straightforward.
It covers 4 genres of music: Funk, Gospel, R&B, and Jazz.
In each of those genres, we start by teaching you the underlying chords that make up the patterns you're hearing. So if you're in the "funk" section, you'll start by learning the funk chords he's using as a bare minimal (even beginners can benefit from this part).
Then they proceed to break down 5 unique riffs, runs, licks, or tricks you can play over these same chords. In fact, the underlying chords and patterns hardly change. But you learn dozens of ways to approach improvising over them. They do this for funk, r&b (soul), gospel (shouting music), and jazz.
By the end, you'll have 20 professional, advanced soloing licks you can pull out the cupboard at any time.
A number of you have emailed me, repeatedly
expressing your frustration with the same issue:
“How do I make each hand play independently?”
“I never learned to use my left hand properly.
It's really underdeveloped compared to my right
hand. Now, I need tips to improve the
coordination in both hands.”
“My biggest problem is left hand independency.”
“My left and right hands always seem to want to
do the same thing, at the same time.”
Can you see the pattern in these remarks? When I
studied piano years ago, my hands would not
listen to what my brain would tell them. Today,
this problem occurs once in awhile, only when I
tackle challenging pieces.
If this scenario sounds familiar, then I have an
important message for you.
My friend Yoke Wong, a longtime music educator
and accomplished musician and composer. She has
developed a one in a kind piano instructional
home study courses called “Hand Coordination,
Runs and Fillers.” This piano course is designed
to help piano players tackle the issue of left
hand independence and hand coordination.
After some gentle persuasion at my end, Yoke has
agreed to offer a some bonuses to any
customer who would like to order this course,
from now on till (designate your time). Hand and Eye Coordination
Yoke will include the following bonuses for the
first 100 customers:
• An online metronome study guide with practice
exercises to improve technique.
• Carl Czerny virtuoso’s original exercise
sheets. These are the same exercises that he used
to get his fingers into fluid shape, with fast
runs and daily warm ups. Runs and Fillers
Take action now and get the bonus that will make
the real difference in your music, “Hand
Coordination, Runs and Fillers.” This is the time
to build your skill. Don’t forget to share your
successes with us once you start using these
study tools.
