Uninteresting… I don’t see the flavor and complexity. There is no complexity modern worship music is boring. Now saying that I totally want to use music to worship Jesus and I give it a go I try, but I do not enjoy listening to modern worship guitar. The best “Christian” recorded guitar music in my opinion was in the 80s. What’s the best guitar music now and has been all along…Jazz and funk. Now we’re talking interesting and complex.

Start a channel bro. The purpose of this one is to provide an on-ramp for new and struggling musicians. It’s great that you have the time, mental capacity, and musical sophistication to appreciate and play Jazz/funk. But most don’t. At the end of the day the only way a band will be able to play new kinds of music is if they first get the easiest kind of music right. Prove you can hang with modern worship music and the foundation is laid to go on to styles that may serve your congregation better.

As a guitarist, picture where the chords line up on the fretboard. If the key is D, then D is the 1, G is the 4, A = 5. This arrangement remains in all keys where the 1 is fretted like D barred at the 5th fret. If A is the 1 (Key of A) then the 4 is D, 5 is E. Use bar chords to see the consistent patterns.

@DontGiveUp-qn8he17 сағат бұрын
Lots of reasons this is helpful. One very important reason we need to know the position of each chord is that each position is flavored differently. There's a big difference between an F Major in the 4 position (key of C) and an F Major in the 5 position (key of Bb). More content here: www.dontgiveup.pro

1 has to be the tonic though….and doesn’t this only work in the Ionic mode? Why forget the 7? Why limit yourselves to church music? …is it because it is predominantly ionic? I have always found pagans to be much better musicians!
@DontGiveUp-qn8he4 күн бұрын
I'm all for some Gospel turnarounds and playing that 7 chord. But, the purpose of this channel is to teach new/struggling musicians in contemporary worship bands the most common musical characteristics found within modern worship music. So this video only applies to that style. I leave it to the churches themselves to determine whether or not this style is best for them. Most churches play this style because they're not skilled enough to play anything else. It would be fantastic to see bands grow musically. But they have to start somewhere. Unfortunately, even the training to play this kind of music isn't the greatest. Which, again, is why this channel exists.

Nice. But wait, G major is GBD and E minor is GBE so how are they the same? You can easily play Em from the same position by lifting your first finger and then placing your pinky down on the 5th fret of the B string, that's an E note. I just realized that so I learned something. Does not work for every key, you might have to shift up or down.
@DontGiveUp-qn8he5 күн бұрын
The purpose of this channel is to teach the most common musical characteristics within modern worship music. By playing the gbd over the Em chord, the chord becomes an em7 which is more commonly used than the Em.

Great exercise for beginners in music theory. Just gets me why people keep scrubbing the 7th Well that's blues and jazz players cannot understand one bit Remember just split the cards into 2 packs trick people don't use or teach but go around continuesly Split the pack Aceg bdf A (sweep) All 8 notes of scale played over 2 octaves The 7 is the 4th in run so why not use it ? Plain and simple 3 is the magic number

The purpose of this channel is to teach modern worship music. The only time that 7th chord is seen is when other styles are incorporated. As soon as we talk other styles, these tutorials sound very different.

what exactly is the point of doing this?
@DontGiveUp-qn8he9 күн бұрын
There are many reasons this is valuable. Understanding chord progressions as numbers allows you to see patterns in the chord progression, regardless of key. It also makes possible rule-based models for part writing that aren’t key/open string dependent. Many find it helpful for quick transposing on the fly.

@jonasaras10 күн бұрын
I disagree. Most worship charts are riddled with errors and chord symbols that are questionable, to put it mildly. Converting that mess to numbers just adds another layer of unnecessary mental processing. Also, adult music modulates to one or two other keys when it goes to the bridge, so then the numbers become even more complex. Numerals can be useful to analyze a song after the fact, but as a notation system for performance, it’s very limiting. If I need to transpose, I can do it in my head just as easily from the chord symbols, or, gasp, actual music notation. I would MUCH prefer a chart with bar lines and rhythmic figures so that I can just read it and play it accurately. As it is now, the CCLI charts are made for vocalists. It drives me clinically insane when beat 4 appears at the beginning of the NEXT line!?! Bach wrote the best music ever written and it was played for weekly worship services. Christian music has devolved to the place where people are too lazy to write out four slashes to indicate a full measure or to notate a melody. People need to step it up. Jesus deserves it. I’ve taken it upon myself to raise the bar of the younger players on my team. It’s not difficult to learn how to read rhythms, up to 16th notes. It’s not difficult to read notes on a single staff (bass player learns bass clef). Modern CCM is just major and minor chords (haven’t seen a dominant 7th in years on a CCM chart). Sneaking in “diabolous in musica” at the right spot can transform otherwise bland harmonies.

I discuss the ii and iii chord in my triad series. For my initial beginner chord videos I focused on the Big 4 to get them started because they appear the most. The ii would def be the next most popular chord. Gospel influence will use a lot of ii-V turnarounds, but they’re just not that common in modern worship music.

When I say Modern Worship Music I’m referring to the most common musical characteristics found within the CCLI top 50. The goal of the channel is to simplify this kind of music. Focusing on this genre is important not because it’s the best music for a church or because these are the best songs but because it’s the simplest form of music that exists. If a band can’t play this kind of music together, it will likely struggle to play anything else.
