welcome to the secrets of understanding …

WELCOME TO THE SECRETS OF UNDERSTANDING PENTECOSTAL & GOSPEL MUSIC

This course is designed for those who already know major, minor, seventh, and

suspended 2 chords. They already have a basic understanding of how to play

and may even already play in their church full time or part time. They

understand how to read chord sheets and can play fairly proficiently, but they

do not understand what they are playing. This course will teach you how to

understand what you are playing using the Musical Roman Numeral System so

that you can understand what you are playing and know what chords and fills

and runs that you can play with it. It will also teach you how to recognize chord

movements and progressions by ear by using this system and by studying

different options for chords with this system. The latter part of this 12 lesson

course gives a brief review over the basic chords and teaches you how to

recognize chords by ear, giving you a system to do it. It then focuses on how

to play more advanced chords than majors, minors and sevenths and teaches

you how to use these advanced chords in your playing and how to recognize

these chords in progressions and when played by themselves. It will also teach

you different fills and runs that you can do over these new advanced chords.

God bless and excited for you to join us!

Let’s learn...The MUSICAL ROMAN NUMERAL SYSTEM

Roman Numerals are the numbers the Romans used to count with.(They used the letter “i” for 1 and the letter “V” for 5. Keep reading...)

The Roman Numeral System is the key to playing by ear.

To use it, we simply give each note of the major scale anumber.

For example, C is 1 (I), D is 2 (ii), E is 3 (iii), F is 4 (IV), G is 5 (V), A is 6 (vi), and B is 7(vii).

Whenever the Roman Numeral is uppercase, that means it is a MAJOR chord.Whenever the Roman Numeral is lowercase, that means that is a MINOR chord.

C major scale = C D E F G A B C I ii iii IV V vi viiº I

PLAY THESE EXERCISE SONGS IN EVERY KEY USING CHART ABOVE

SUBSTITUTION POSSIBILITIES

AUGMENTED CHORDS are substituted in the same way as a 7th. In 4th movements such as I to IV or V to I.

AUGMENTED 7ths can be substituted anywhere an augmented chord can be played.

DIMINISHED CHORDS are substituted mainly on your vii*IIIvi progression or your iii* VI ii progression.

HALF DIMINISHED 7th CHORDS can be substituted anytime the vii is a diminished chord.

In jazz, anytime you have a major chord, you can replace it with a SIXTH CHORD. This works in gospel music too.

SUSPENDED 2 CHORDS can be substituted on any major chord.




AP SECRETS LESSON 8SUSPENDED 4 CHORDS can be used on a song’s ending I chord to give it a hanging on feeling.You can also use them on the V chord when playing it for two measures. Always resolve to a major chord though!

MINOR SIXTH CHORDS are usually used on the IV chord.

Fully Diminished Chords (root, b3, b5, bb7)

Here is the technical way for making a Fully Diminished Chord. You take your root, you flat your 3rd, your flatyour 5th (which makes a regular diminished chord Cdim C Eb Gb for example) and then you flat your flatted 7th.

So you basically take a DOMINANT 7th chord (C7 = C E G Bb for example) and flat every note in it except forthe root note.

(So flat ‘E’ which makes ‘Eb’, flat ‘G’ which makes ‘Gb’ and then flat ‘Bb’ (move it down one) which makes ‘A.’ C D E F G A B C 1 b3 b5 bb7

C Eb Gb A = Cdim7

SUBSTITUTING FULLY DIMINISHED CHORDS

Rule 1: Substituting fully diminished chords is very simple. You only substitute them right before you go to aminor chord.

In other words...

Going to Am7? Substitute G#dim7.

Going to Dm7? Substitute C#dim7.

Get it? Just substitute the note a half step down from the minor chord that you are going to.

Note the strong use of this in “Worthy” and “Amazing Grace.” This works, however, in almost song.

Rule 2: Substitute a fully diminished chord on your #4 after the IV chord chord and before the I/V chord in a fastor medium “jazzy” or “fast Pentecostal” type song.

Notice the use of this in “There Is No Telling.”

It works in most of your faster songs though. Very common ending movement on faster songs is

I I7/III IV7 #IVdim7 I/V VI7b9 II9 V7 I7

C C7/E F7 F#dim7 C/G A7b9 D9 G7 C7

This progression probably ends about 70% of our faster Pentecostal songs.

Forming Augmented 7ths with a #9

We make an augmented 7th #9 (E7#5#9) in the following way.

Let’s look at E7#5#9 for example.

E F# G# A B C# D# E F#I ii iii IV V vi vii VIII IX

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Step 1: Play a major chord and add the b7th on the top of the chord in the FORMAL way. This gives us E G# B D

Step 2: Sharp the 5th. (Make it an augmented 7th)This gives us E G# C D

Step 3: Add the 9th of the chord (F#) to the TOP of the chord and sharp it again also. This gives us G# C D G. (Wedrop the E note and play it in the LH only.)

Therefore E7#5#9 = G# C D G with E in the LH.

So an augmented 7th with a #9 is made up of the

3rd, #5, b7th, and #9.





A good SHORTCUT way is simply to take an augmented 7th made in the formal way. (A C# F G A7 for example)

Then simply add the #9 to the top of the chord. (C# F G C) And be sure to move the bass/root note to the left hand also!

Forming 7ths with a b9

Step 1: Play a dominant 7th chord and add the 9th (making it a regular dominant 9th chord.(For example: C7 to C9 is Bb E G to Bb D E G)

Step 2: Flat the ninth note. C7b9 = Bb Db E G

How to Play a Basic Walking Bass Line in C

This is how it works. The signifies a walking bass line. (A walking bass line just means that the left hand—or the bass—is moving the entire time.) The notes in parentheses are what you are actually going to be playing in your left hand. In the meanwhile, your right hand is going to be playing the 7th passing chord vamp from AP 101, ==. (However, any passing chord pattern will work.) (The C passing chord vamp is C-F-C7-F-C-C-F-C7-F; it is basically I, IV, I7, IV, I, I, IV, I7, IV. C = C-E-G to F = C-F-A to C7 = C-G-Bb.)

Eleventh Chords and Minor Eleventh Chords in C

To make eleventh chords simply play the major chord a whole step down from the root.Example: C11 = Bb/C; G11 = F/GThe formal way to make an 11th chord is to take the b7, 9th, and 11th of the major scale.Example: C D E F G A B C D E F

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

The b7 = Bb; the 9th = D; and the 11th = F. Therefore a C11 = Bb – D – F over C in LH.

Minor 11ths are a little different. They are made up of the b3, b7, 9th, & 11th.Example: Cm11 = b3 (Eb) b7 (Bb) 9th (D) 11th (F) = Eb Bb D F over C in LH.

THIRTEENTH CHORDS IN C

There are several different ways to play thirteenth chords. One way is to simply play the 11 chord (the chord a whole stepdown from the root note) and then add the 13th note.Example: G11 = F A C Now add the 13th (E) G13 = F A C E




AP SECRETS LESSON 11The formal way to make a 13th chord is to take the b7, 9th, and 11th, and 13th of the major scale.

Example:

G A B C D E F#

G A B C D E

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

11

12

13

The b7 = F; the 9th = A; the 11th = C, and the 13th = E. Therefore a G13 = F – A – C – E over G in LH.

Exercise Song 1: Thirteenths on the I, IV and V Chords (b7, 9, 11, 13)

C / / / C13 / / / F / / / F13 / / /

C / / / C13 / / / G / / / G13 / / / C

SONG: AMAZING GRACE

Am9 / / D9 / / Dm9 / / G9 / G13That saved a wretch like me,

C2 / / C13 / / Fmaj9 / / C Bm11 E7#9I once was lost, but now I’m found,

Am9 / / D9 / G7b9 To Repeat: C2 / / F/G / / C2Was blind but now I see.

For a really fancy ending try this To End: Ab2 / / Bb2 / / C2 But now I see.

*Notice the b6 chord to the b7 chord ending at the end of the song, gives it a nice unique touch. You can use thisat the ending of any song to give it a cool ending; however, do not try and use it at the ending of every song.Don’t overuse it!!

SUBSTITUTING THIRTEENTH CHORDS

There is only one rule for substituting thirteenth chords.

Anytime there is an eleventh chord, you can substitute a thirteenth chord.




AP SECRETS LESSON 11NOTE: This rule does NOT apply to minor elevenths.

Thirteenth chords are very simple to substitute in songs. They are usually used on the I to IV progression and on the V to Iprogression.

For example:

F / / / F / / / Bb / / / F / / /

Dm / / / Gm / / / C / / / C / / / F

Now let’s add some 13ths.

DOMINANT 9th ADD 13th CHORDS IN C

Another common way to play thirteenth chords is to play it as a “9 add 13” chord.The formal way is to take the b7, 9th, 3rd, and 13th.Basically, play a regular dominant 9th chord and then change the 5th to the 13th.




AP SECRETS LESSON 11For example: G A B C D E F# G A B C D E

7 9 3 13(* remember the 7 is F# so the b7 = F)

G9 = F A B D then add the 13th which is E (and drop the 5th – which is ‘D’)G9add13 = F A B E* You can replace almost any Dominant 9th chord with a Dominant 9th add 13th.

Exercise Song 1: Dominant 9ths add 13ths on the I, IV, V Chords (b7, 9, 3, 13) in Open Position.

C / / / C9add13 / / / F / / / F9add13 / / /

C / / / Am9 / / / D9add13 / / / G9add13 / / / C9add13

*Now try to play these 9th add13 chordsusing a different inversion (the “closed” position).

**Use the closed position 3rd13thb79th. G13 = B E F A; C13 = E A Bb D; F13 = A D Eb G

Exercise Song 2: Dominant 9ths add 13ths on the I, IV, V Chords (b7, 9, 3, 13)in Closed Position.

C / / / C9add13 / / / F / / / F9add13 / / /

C / / / Am9 / / / D9add13 / / / G9add13 / / / C9add13

WALKING THIRTEENTHS in C

The Left Hand will play the 1 and the b7.The Right Hand will play the 3rd, 13th, and 1.

For example: C13 = E A C = RH F13 = A D F G13 = B E G CBb = LH FEb GF

*It would be wise to learn this in every key because you are going to be using thesea lot!To do this just practice walking up from C to Db to D to Eb and so on untilyou know them all.Just take every note up a half step every time you change chords.Example C to Db to D would be E A C to F Bb Db to F# B D andso on until you start over at C. C Bb Db B D C

Any time you do a single note walkup (For example a simple C to F walkuplike in a fast song.)

Try replacing the LH walkup CDEbEF with C13D13Eb13E13F13.

Or try replacing the ending of a fast song (CEFF#GABbBC) with

C13 E13 – F13 – F#13 – G13 – A13 – Bb13 – B13 – C13

It will sound a million times better!

*You can use it to replace the standard I to IV and V to I walkupsand also the endofsong walkups.

Let’s try it in the following song.
