Video Lesson #1
This clip teaches a nice two-handed run usually used to set up a "2-5-1" progression. If you've never played something like this before, then you're definitely going to benefit from adding this nice "church walk" to your toolbox.
Duration: 0:32
 
Video Lesson #2
Watch as Mr. H demonstrates how to use the circle of fifths in contemporary worship settings. Coincidentally, I also used these chords in GospelKeys 202. The general flow is from "Bbmin9 --- Eb9/6  --- Abmin9 --- Db9/6 --- Gbmaj9/6 --- Cm11 --- F7 #9#5 --- then repeat the cycle." If you don't know what any of that means, don't worry. Mr. H shows you step-by-step, what to do. Duration: 1:22

Video Lesson #3
This short clip comes from the "Tricks in F#" segment of the course. Watch closely as he shows you a very easy-to-learn trick that you can start using right away. It deals with simply playing every other black key (two at a time, going down the keyboard). Listen to how it sounds...

Video Lesson #4
You'll love this urban worship movement. It speaks for itself. It's in the key of Ab, but if I were you, I'd learn it in all twelve keys. This is a wonderful chord progression to use as you transition from one song to another or towards the end of a particular worship song. Duration: 1:14

Video Lesson #5
The power of major seventh chords! Here's a perfect example of how you can play a nice, contemporary chord movement by just knowing two chords: Bbmin9 and Fmin9. Here's one way to play it:  (Bb bass / Ab C Db F)  &  (F bass / Eb G Ab C). Keep in mind that Mr. H goes into several ways to voice these chords.
Duration: 1:08

 

 
Video Lesson #6
Mr. H demonstrates the importance of flowing smoothly out of one worship song in into the next. Ask any experienced musician and they'll tell you that there are certain chords that are commonly used to transition from one song to another. These "transitional" chords help to create an uninterrupted worship experience.

Video Lesson #7
Here's a very popular worship vamp that is heard in a number of songs (like songs by "Israel" and "Praise is What I do"). This is a must-have chord progression for the modern church musician. He'll demonstrate a small portion of it here as we don't have enough room to play the entire 10+ minute step-by-step lesson on this chord movement.
Duration: 1:54
 
Video Lesson #8
This clip teaches you how to play what Mr. H calls "warfare and high praise." It is vital that a musician understands their role during the worship service --- especially during the prophetic. This is usually when there is an overwhelming use of minor chords and very solemn-sounding chordal movements. Listen as he demonstrates...

Below are clips from my very own GospelKeys 202 video course, "Mastering Worship Chords." I released these clips back in October, 2004. For new students and those of you who haven't taken a look at the clips below, feel free to do so at this time. Between the urban and contemporary clips above and the worship clips below, your time should be well occupied...

 

Video Lesson #1
This clip teaches a type of voicing that few musicians have ever heard of. It's called the "Quartal" chord. It creates a very contemporary sound. Do yourself a favor and learn this chord in all twelve keys!
Duration: 1:17
 
Video Lesson #2
This clip teaches you multiple "2" chords to play. Remember, a "2" chord commonly begins what we call a "2-5-1" chord progression. If you understand anything about these progressions, you know that they commonly end songs. In other words, even an audience knows when to start applauding when a 2-5-1 approaches. Duration: 1:34

Video Lesson #3
A continuation of clip #2, you'll learn some more fancy "2" chords that are sure to spice up your playing. There is one chord I teach in this clip that you don't want to pass up! It utilizes all five fingers and I warn you --- you have to stretch for this one!
Duration: 1:15
 
 
Video Lesson #4
This altered chord is probably one of the most commonly played chords in gospel music. From personal experience, I use it in probably 70% of songs I play. Now, keep in mind that I'm referencing the type of chord (7 #9#5) --- remember that this chord can be played in 12 different keys! No matter what song you're playing, it will show up sooner or later! Duration: 1:13

Video Lesson #5
A continuation of clip #4, you'll add another "3" chord to your collection and you'll learn a nice "1-3" progression. At the end of this clip is also some good theoretical information that you'll want to understand.
Duration: 1:14
 
 
Video Lesson #6
This clip wraps up the "3" chord with a nice half-diminished chord progression. If you've never played a half-diminished chord, then you're missing out! Learn how to connect this chord with the "6" chord to produce a very nice-sounding "3-6" couple. This sound is used in a ton of songs --- LITERALLY!

Video Lesson #7
Learn a famous "lick" that sounds hard to play but really isn't! The truth is... most "licks" and "tricks" aren't hard to play. They sound complex and difficult but often times, they are simple movements that once you know them, you know them!
Duration: 1:01
 
Video Lesson #8
This clip teaches you how to make your left hand more powerful. Out of the thousands of e-mails we receive every month, a common one is how to improve one's left hand. If you've suffered with this issue, pay close attention to this video clip. You'll learn 3 different left-hand forms.

Video Lesson #9
Discover the mystery behind 9th, 11th, and 13th chords in just 20 seconds --- NO joke! And in the last minute, learn a nice contemporary voicing of the "4" chord. Adding just this one chord to your repertoire will change the way your playing sounds! Duration: 1:17
 
Video Lesson #10
This short, but powerful clip combines 3 different chords to create a nice "well-known" worship progression. Basically, we're using "1", "3", and "4" chords. As you're learning these chords, try to recall songs that sound like this progression. There are at least a dozen! Duration: 1:17
... there's more!
 
Video Lesson #11
This is the only chord progression on this page that I can truly say I play in about 90% of every gospel song I play! Since these chords make up the famous "5-1" progression, there is no surprise why I play these chords in 9 out of every 10 songs I play. As you become more experienced, you too will develop "favorite" chords that you love to play! Duration: 1:16
 
Video Lesson #12
On the spot, I teach you a nice "groovy" chord progression that can be used in uptempo styles but has its biggest role in slow worship songs. The latter part of the clip demonstrates the other side of the "5-1" progression. Majority of the time, the 5-1 will end your songs. But there is a situation where the 5-1 will open back to the "4" chord so pay close attention.
Duration: 1:19

Video Lesson #13
I love minor9 chords and by the time you finish GospelKeys TM 202, I'm sure you'll love their sound too! Learn this long string of minor 9 and dominant 9 chords. This progression is very popular in worship songs and is a must-know for gospel musicians!
Duration: 1:15
 
 
Video Lesson #14
All I have to say is that this is a "baddddddddddddddddd" progression if you know what I mean (that's "baddd" as in "good"). Learn it if you desire a smooth way to transition from "6" chords to "2" chords. These type of transitions sound really good accompanying a light speaker or during times of silence during various points throughout a worship service.

Video Lesson #15
This clip teaches the famous "7-3-6" progression. This particular progression is probably on my top 5 list of favorite progressions to play. I love the way it sounds. You'll find it not only in slow worship songs but it is also "Part C" of a praise song (from GospelKeys TM 300 video course)...    Duration: 1:44
 
 
Video Lesson #16 - Song #1
