From: Jermaine A. Griggs
Dear Gospel Musician,
This won't be long. In fact, I'm
going to get right to the point because what I'm about to share with you
is going to literally change the way you play worship music forever...
... Before I introduce
you to my good friend (who I call "Mr. H"), click some of
the sound files below to hear what you're going to learn by reading this
page.
This is not
classic gospel (... don't get me wrong because I love my gospel
"classics").
This is not
traditional gospel (I love my traditional, old-fashioned songs as well).
There is a time and place for all styles of gospel music.
This is contemporary urban
worship-styled gospel. And after hearing my friend Mr. H,
you'll agree that there is definitely something unique about this
style of playing...
"Oh Come Let Us Adore Him"
(Urban Contemporary Style):
* You may have to turn off audio from
the tutorial at the top of this page
"Oh Mighty God"
(Urban Contemporary Style):
* You may also listen to these
song examples and many more at the top of this page by navigating
through the interactive tutorial presentation.
Who Should Be Interested In Learning the "Urban & Contemporary"
Worship Style?
* All musicians playing in modern
churches...
* Musicians playing for youth and young adult
choirs who tend to sing modern and contemporary songs...
* Musicians who seek to "contemporize" the
way they play gospel music...
* Musicians who feel they play "old
fashioned" and want to learn new voicings and chord progressions...
* Any musician desiring to learn more gospel
"licks" and "tricks" on the keyboard!
* Musicians committed to lifelong learning,
no matter what style of music.
What is Urban & Contemporary Worship?
Many musicians
desire the "contemporary & urban" vibe that is heard in much of today's
gospel music. This style is a combination of gospel, jazz, and R&B all
combined into one.
Remember:
Gospel, Jazz, and R&B all "borrow" chords from the same pool. You'll
learn how to combine certain jazz runs with gospel chord progressions.
This is what you hear in about
80% + of modern gospel songs...
"Mr. H" has agreed to
share his Contemporary Urban gospel music techniques with the
HearandPlayTM Community. Listen...
I rarely
recommend people to my audience simply because I've seen all the many
types of "resources" out there. Some just show you "chords" without any
further direction. Other resources spend more time preparing you for
playing than teaching you HOW TO PLAY!
But when my
friend, Mr. H, called and asked me to view his newest 2-hour
DVD course
on "Contemporary Urban Worship," I took him up on it. And
boy,
I'm glad I did!
From the
professionalism of the DVD cover to the graphics, from the many keyboard
and midi displays on the screen to the background vocalists, I was
certainly impressed. But those things didn't matter to me as much as
this:
In two hours, he managed to squeeze
in so much content... so many contemporary and urban chords... so many
fill-ins... so many techniques and principles that I literally stopped
my DVD player, called him on the phone, and asked him how I could get
this information into the hands of my students as fast as possible.
... And after days of
talking, I was able to get a "HEAR AND PLAY ONLY" package created
that included two jam-packed hours of instructional footage PLUS
a number of BONUS ITEMS that'll be sure to enhance your learning
experience.
The only catch is that he was only
able to ship me 500 "HEAR AND PLAY ONLY" copies, which means that
this website will only be available until those 500 copies are sold.
Because
I am offering so many bonuses items along with this "GospelKeys X -
Urban and Contemporary Worship" course, I expect to be sold out
shortly (certainly by
...)
Are you ready for all this? Here's what we're going
to show you:
How to play urban
and contemporary worship patterns in Ab that'll have people turning
their heads the minute you sit down to the piano.
How to manipulate
the major 7th chord to make your playing sound urban and
contemporary like today's gospel songs.
The secret behind
using the Circle of Fifths to your advantage when applied to
contemporary worship piano playing. This one is a must.
Worship movements
in Ab that other musicians don't want you to know!Learn
famous chordal movements that form the basis of urban and contemporary
worship music --- once you understand this, you're piano playing will
never be the same.
Learn "licks" and
"tricks" in F#. These are tricks that you can begin adding to
your musical toolbox the minute you pop in these DVDS! After hearing some of
these contemporary runs, your family and friends will know you've been
up to something... I PROMISE!
Discover the KEY
PRINCIPLES behind Ab runs (upward and downward movements). If you're
not playing these runs, then you're definitely in for a treat.
Learn how to
drive the worship service. This is known as Warfare and High Praise
moments of the service (especially during the prophetic).
Dive into various
worship vamps like "Lord I Worship You, I Worship You." These
examples are geared towards teaching you how to play the vamps of tons
of other contemporary worship songs.
Discover the
hidden secrets behind "pretty-ending chords." The ending of a song
is just as important as the beginning. Learn how to end your songs the
right way!
How to implement
"Disney" sounding chords into your gospel piano playing! Yes, I said
"Disney." These techniques will blow you away!
Delve into
classical movements in Eb! Just when you thought the DVD only
focused on modern playing --- Learn classical progressions that can be
applied to your gospel playing ASAP.
Learn
real-life songs along with real-life vocalists!
... and much much more!
Gospel Meets Technology:
I was literally blown out of my chair when I saw
these things...
F.L.A.V.A.
(Fundamental Learning and Visual Assistance)
It is psychologically proven that
cognition and learning increases with the increase of
positive reinforcements.
GospelKeys X - "Contemporary and Urban
Worship" (by Mr. H) is jam-packed with tons of visual learning tools
aimed at helping you to learn and remember every chord taught.
The interface has been reworked and
positioned such that it maximizes your visual experience. The
learning interface consists of a front view of the instructor in
the middle of the screen, with visual stimuli on all four sides of the
screen.
So learning with F.L.A.V.A makes
the learning experience considerably easier, thus enhancing chord
retention (... basically, you're going to be able to remember what you
learn)...!
M.R.T.
(Multiple Reinforcement Technology)
Not only are there cameras right above the
keyboard, but there is a
virtual keyboard displayed on the screen so that you can
see the keys lit up as they are played!
Regardless of how well a camera is
positioned over the top of the keys, sometimes it is difficult to see
every single note because of shadows, lighting, awkward positions, and
simply fingers being in the way! As a result, you'll benefit from a
virtual keyboard that lights up keys as they are played (in conjunction
with the overhead view in the lower region of the screen).
L.M.S.
(Live Midi Sync)
Live MIDI Sync is a process we developed
that syncs live playing and MIDI together and displays it on
the virtual keyboard in real-time!. So as the keys are played, they
are also lit up on the virtual keyboard in sync with every chord,
scale, and movement!
Translation: You see exactly what's
going on and you never miss a beat! Live MIDI sync also allows us
to give you the MIDI files of every song so that you can learn each
selection on your own as well (see bonus items below).
Live Singing
This project wouldn't of been complete
without a singer/psalmist to demonstrate to you how a contemporary
gospel musician effectively follows a soloist or worship leader.
... So whether you know the gospel songs
being covered or not, Jason Champion, the featured psalmist, will
introduce you to a number of contemporary worship classics and songs
in a gospelish-soulful way!
The GospelKeysTM X

worship music by ear --- RIGHT NOW!

Special Bonus #8 Opportunity:
You'll Also Get 3 FREE
"Monthly Music Mentor"
Courses
Just For Trying This Program...
As a
very special one-time bonus, I'd also like to send you three free
courses from my Monthly Music Mentor CD of the month program.
The Monthly Music Mentor program is aimed at teaching you everything you
need to know to play piano in the quickest and easiest way possible.
Just as it sounds, this program was designed to take you by the hand and
"mentor" you step-by-step through the musical process of playing
by ear. If you lack time and want to make the best of the limited time
you have, you're going to love what these monthly cd lessons will do for
you.
Here's how it works: Order now, and I'll throw in a one-month FREE
subscription to my Monthly Music Mentor program - PLUS you'll get three
free Monthly Music MentorTM introductory courses, which provide
an incredible introduction to the ongoing training... and you'll get
all this just for
trying this program.
The three courses you'll receive are "Piano By Ear For Starters"
2-hour course, "How To Find The Key To Any Song" 80-minute
course, and the first Monthly Music Mentor introductory CD (80-minute
"Getting Started" program). All of this is worth $79.95 but yours free
as a bonus today.
I'm so sure you're going to love Monthly Music Mentor courses that I'm even going
to pay the additional priority SHIPPING cost to send the starter kit to
you.
If you love the three starter courses (which you will), keep them and stay subscribed to
the program. Every month, I'll send you a new lesson on CD, and you'll automatically be charged only
$15.95 a month... which is roughly just a quarter of what one private lesson would
cost you... and you can't rewind live lessons). You can cancel anytime you want with no questions or hassles.
If you cancel before 30 days, you won't be billed at all.
The
Three Courses Are Your Gifts
To Keep Either Way...
If you
get these 3 courses and you DON'T love them and get IMMEDIATE success with the material you learn, you can cancel
and keep all the courses FOR FREE... just for TRYING it. In other words,
you get to keep all the material for free either way... even if you
cancel right after you get it.
This bonus is worth
at least $79.95 alone, and it's yours free just for trying this program
--- but this special free offer is only available with your
purchase right now.
***If you
prefer NOT to get this free $79.95 bonus package, you can "opt out" with one click
while ordering... and simply complete your order without the free bonus
and 30-day trial. Your choice. It's that easy.
"OK. I'm going to make this really good..."
If you're truly serious aboutmodernizing your gospel style (updating
your chord voicings, finding newer progressions to play, adding
jazzy runs to your piano playing, etc...), then you'll
definitely want to be one of the next 150 musicians to take me up on this
incredible offer.
Not only am I dropping the price of this dvd
course a considerable amount, but if you order today, I will
also throw in the EIGHT additional bonus items (worth over
$197.90 by themselves) that will allow you to catch every
single word of this 2-hour course, on the screen, right there in front
of you (as well as midi files, pdf guides, and free
software)!
Plus, you'll get the additional 3 Monthly Music MentorTM courses valued at
$79.95. So you're not only getting 2+ hours of step-by-step dvd footage on
contemporary urban worship music but an
additional 4.5 hours of audio training in free bonuses. Then there's the ongoing support
--- what else
could you possibly ask for?
For all of this, I
could very well charge over $200.00 and still get tons of orders for
the 2-hour training disc and EIGHT bonus items. With
the bonuses valued at $197.90 alone and the DVD instruction valued
at $69.95, EVEN that price would
be well discounted.
But I'm not going to charge you $200.00 even though that's what this
course is worth. I'm
not going to charge you $100 --- I'm not even going to charge you
more than $70 for this incredible package because I want as many
people as possible to take advantage of this awesome information at
an affordable price.
For just 2 easy monthly
payments of $35, this entire GospelKeysTM X Series
plus all of the bonuses (8 total) can be yours. This offer
is subject to change at any time so if you're really interested
in this dvd course, I suggest you act quickly --- otherwise, you
might end up paying close to $200.00 or more in the future. Even
worse, you may be too late and not be able to take advantage of
the EIGHT BONUSES. These
"add-ons" are worth the cost of the course by themselves.
Even though the price is
extremely affordable (about the cost of two or three tickets to a
local movie along with a few cartons of popcorn and snacks), here's what's really important. If this program was
just another useless course that just sat in your bookshelf and
didn't teach you anything new, it wouldn't matter what the price
was. IT WOULDN'T BE WORTH ONE PENNY.
I don't
release many courses. But when I do, I want to make sure that you're
getting back in information and helpful resources & tools at
least two to three times what you invest. That is always my goal and
I sincerely believe this is one of the best values you'll ever come
across.
Jermaine Griggs, President
If you can learn just 20 new worship songs, chords, arrangements, tricks,
fill-ins, and "runs", what is that actually worth to you? If you'll
finally be able to play for your church like you've been
desiring to (in a contemporary urban way), what is this course worth to you?
I can't put an exact
dollar figure on it for you --- only you can do that. But I can tell
you this: at 2 monthly payments of $35, this program could very possibly be the best
bargain and the best investment you'll ever make in terms of your
musical growth.

Your "Nothing to Lose And
Everything To Gain" Guarantee
Listen to my personal guarantee
If,
for any reason in the next 365 days, you don't agree this incredible
program is worth every penny, simply return it (and keep the free bonuses as
a gift). You will receive every single dime of your money
back minus the shipping costs. You won't be sold another product. You won't be
asked any questions. It's as simple as that.
My accountant thought I was crazy to even offer ANY type of return policy or guarantee on a
dvd or audio course because of the many ways people could cheat us... let alone
a full 365-day year guarantee. However, I believe in my programs,
and I believe in my students so much that I am willing
to allow you to test drive it on me. Heck, I'm even willing to take on even
more risk by letting you break up your payments into multiple months.
So not only do you get the flexible payment
plan, but you have a full year to decide whether
this course is for you. At 2 monthly payments of $35, you are losing absolutely nothing
and the risk is all on me. What else can I say?
