Sounds good Vm-I chord progression

I learned this from my guru, he taught me 2 weeks ago, this voicing would create some jazzy sound accidentally.

Lets take an example when you have chord progression of following
I-V/vii-vi-iii-IV

Do some spice up here
I-V/vii-vi-Vm/V-I-IV

Just to replace iii with Vm/V-I.

Notes: Vm is meant on 5th chord with minor.

Try this up.

Nice passing bass notes on chord progression

September 2, 2008 | By zeyng In education, Praise and Worship, Worship, Jazz, Hear and Play, Chord, training, play piano, Piano | Comments(0)

While you are playing a simple chord progression which is 3-4-5. You add on some passing bass notes and alternating the chord progression of 3-4-5.

Lets say in C key, 3-4-5 is Em-F-G. Instead of just going this simple chord progression speacially in chorus side. you may add some passing bass notes as below. This chord progression is very good to use when you wish to return back to Chorus again in Ballad/Jazz style praise and worship song.

3/3—>Em/E
3/3b–>Em/Eb
4/2—>F/D
4/4—>F/F
5/5—>G/G

Try this up
God bless
