Hi folks,
In his post I go over how to play Part A of praise music, discussed here. Part A consists of a base run and some notes on the right hand side.
For this exercise we assume we’re in the key of A♭ major.
In A♭ that will be
A♭ C D♭ D E♭ F G♭ G …
then it repeats to the A and cycles on.
It’s easy to play. A base run hinges between the 1 tone (A♭) and the 5 tone (E♭) of the key of the key of the song.
So, in the key of A♭ major, you start with the 1 tone A♭, then you play the 3 notes leading to the 5 tone (C D♭ D), then you play the 5 tone E♭, then you play the 3 notes leading back to the 1 tone (F G♭ G), then you play the 1 tone and continue.
On the right hand you can play a 13 chord, i.e. a A♭ 13 chord in a rhythmic fashion.
you can also play a pentatonic scale with a ♭3 tone added to it.
You can play a 2 part chord from diminished to major chord.
