Want to play Gospel?

I’m going to get right to the point, because I don’t know how long these new Gospel resources will be available. Do you want to learn to play like those award-winning pianists that you hear on the radio? Do you want to cut the learning time in half and, at the same time, sound as if you’ve been playing since the day you were born?

Have you played all the “smaller” stuff and want to play with the “Big Boys?”

I know you’re probably saying “of course I do… that’s a silly question.” Obviously, the response is yes. I know you do, but it can become very difficult for this reason that I’m about to share with you. Musicianship and the road to becoming a very talented artist tends to be extremely sacred. I mean, if you come up in the church or wherever you’re learning to play the piano, it is treated as a personal artform.

YOU learn, YOU evolve, and YOU progress through practice, practice and more practice. As a result, many musicians are a little protective of their skills. It’s just that simple. They do not wish to disclose many of their secrets that took them a very long time to learn and PERFECT! It’s very individualized and unique to them. That being said, I think I’ve found something that might help you get inside (so to speak).

I’ve found two amazing artists that, through the website below, are willing to share with you ALL they’ve learned. Not only are they going to play for you….

….In a WHOPPING ***7 HOURS*** and ***6 DVDs***,they’re going to personally show you step-by-step and over-the-shoulder ALL of the licks and tricks that have given them the opportunity to play with Gospel Greats.

I’m talking about Gospel icons that we all know and love: Yolanda Adams, Kim Burrell, Shirley Caesar, Donald Lawrence, Daryl Coley, The Kurt Carr Singers, Judith, Christie McAllister, John P. Kee, and more!

The Gospel Keys Ultimate Course contains not — but 3 courses together!

1. PJ Morgan: Contemporary Gospel Piano!

3. Cassandra O’neal: West Coast Piano!

WITH THIS PJ MORGAN CONTEMPORARY PIANO COURSE, YOU’LL LEARN…

>>> How to take traditional hymns like “His eye is on the sparrow” and spice them up with the use of various altered chords, inversions, voicings, melodic lines, and more!

>>> The core differences between playing the piano versus the organ (precision, accuracy, etc). Hint: While the notes are the same between the two instruments, there are some major distinctions that have to be known or you’ll never produce the contemporary sound you want!

>>> How to effectively transition between chords with melody lines. This concept is the secret to making your progressions sound more smooth!

http://www.hearandplay.com/402080/pj.html

>>> Explore extended chords like min9, m11, m13, dom13 and how to spice them up (using both open and closed voicings). Two musicians can play the same “kind” of chord (e.g. – min9) and make the sound totally different!

>>> The secrets to accurately choosing the right accompanying chords to a melody line (examples shown in “His Eye is on the Sparrow” and “Amazing grace” and others.

>>> How to master stride piano techniques (bass and chord in left hand while the right hand can play melodic lines, additional chords, or fill-ins).

Worship music has never been taught like this before! Learn all the techniques, principles, tips, and tricks to playing worship songs like “Anointing,” “Thank You Lord,” “As the Deer,” and more!

Are you ready to be taken by the hand and shown, step-by-step, how to play gospel music by ear?

…In this NEW course, He covers a systematic way to play worship songs. In other words, he takes you through a song learning process that will enable you not only to learn the songs he shows you step by step, but to master literally any worship song out there (because most worship songs follow the same basic patterns as you’ll see)!

“Gospel Keys 202 Special Edition” is LOADED with tons of helpful tips and techniques, it will leave none of your worship questions unanswered. Not only is GK202SE very educational, it’s entertaining as well.

This edition is full of fun — bloopers, unedited footage on the road, and a 30 min in-depth interview with Jermaine Griggs, the man behind this innovative phenomenon.

Since Gospel Keys 202 SE is so EXCLUSIVE, Jermaine was only able give me a sneak peak into the detailed specifics of what this incredible course has to offer…

Here’s what the author has to say:

**Learn over 60 new voicings, chords, progressions, and fancy arrangements to playing worship music! From fancy inversions of the ninth chord to the secret “Quartal” chord (which sounds very smooth), you’ll learn how to replace all of your basic triads and 3-fingered chords with full-sounding 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, and altered chords! Believe me when I say: “Others will notice!”

**Learn patterns (or what I’m calling “couples”) like: “1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 1-6, 1-7, 2-5, 2-6, 3-6, 3-4, 4-5, 4-3, 4-6, 4-7, 5-1, 5-2, 5-4, 6-2, 6-7, 7-3, and many more! Don’t be intimidated by the numbers. They are simply taken from major scales. The power in understanding all of these couples is that once you know them all, there will be absolutely NO SONG you won’t be able to learn! These patterns are in 95% of all gospel worship songs and you’ll know them now!

**Train your ear to recognize these small “couples” with specially designed ear-training sections of the video course (one-on-one with me)! Once you’ve mastered all of the “couples” above, then you must be able to recognize them in songs! I will constantly test you right there on the screen without you seeing the notes that I am playing in an effort to help you build your ear skills!

These are just a FEW of the MANY things you’ll be able to do once you’ve got this special edition of the Gospel Keys.

Jermaine told me himself that virtually THOUSANDS of people have been calling about this 5 hour mega course — the phones haven’t stopped ringing for the past month…

Contents:

Disc 1: Introduction of tones, basic chords, extended voicings, “music edutainment reality clips!” (1 hour and 25 minutes)

The first part of the course is focused on teaching you all the chords you’ll need to know to play a majority of worship songs. From personal experience, I’ve found these same chords to be present in just about 4 out of every 5 songs!

What most gospel musicians fail to realize is that chords are recycled and played over and over again in different songs. So part one focuses on getting you up to par, teaching you all the chords you need to know to get started (both basic, extended, quartal, and more)! Lots of content (various chord voicings, inversions, and demonstrations) has been added to this section and it goes beyond the basics — you get a whopping 80 minutes of step-by-step, over-the-shoulder instruction here!

Disc 2: Extensive ear-training, chord prediction techniques, and the “couple” system! (1 hour and 15 minutes)

Once you’ve mastered the chords and voicings from part one, you’ll learn, through a series of ear-training tests, how to differentiate between certain sounds. I’m going to show you how to determine what types of chords and progressions are being heard so that you skip all the mistakes that most musicians make when learning new songs!

You’ll also learn how to pinpoint patterns in chord progressions and how to predict what’s coming next in a song. I’ve taught this technique to thousands of people and they’ve benefited greatly from knowing exactly which chords lead to other chords! Music and progressions are circular and I’ll teach you just how to master this circle of chords and patterns!

Then, to top it all off, you’ll learn my couple system and how it helps you to play all of your favorite worship songs by ear. Many people get discouraged when learning new material but if you can simply think of chord progressions as small couples (just two chords at a time), you’ll immediately understand how songs and progressions work!

Disc 3: Vocal accompaniment, “real-life” worship songs, and application! (1 hour and 25 minutes)

Part three brings everything together (the chords and voicings from part one and the couples and progressions from part two) and allows you to see, step-by-step, how to play worship hits like “Thank You Lord,” “As the Deer,” “Anointing,” Hallelujah, “I Really Love the Lord (remix),” along with tons of “add-ons”, “fill-ins,” and tricks that bring your favorite songs to life!

While five songs are specifically covered, chord-by-chord, the systems and patterns you’ll learn from the course will enable you to apply these same techniques to tons of worship songs — all by ear!

With a live vocalist (not recorded — but “live”), you’ll get firsthand experience at how to accompany a singer and what it takes to play in this worship style. From left-hand movements to right hand chordal arrangements, this special edition over-delivers in many ways and you’ll be sure to benefit from almost 5 hours of instruction, demonstrations, and explanations!

This special edition is limited in quantity so the first 175 people to order after Wednesday, October 5, 2005 (starting at 7 a.m. pacific) will be receiving BONUS DISC 4!

Disc 4: An in-depth 30-minute, one-on-one, personal interview with Jermaine Griggs, founder of the Hear and Play Music Group (over 200,000 students)!

Plus bonus “uncut” and “behind-the-scenes” footage, bloopers, mess-ups, the headquarters, and more! (40+ min).

This is only available to the first 175 to order (either online or by phone). The website and phone lines open up at 7 a.m. and are usually off the hook all day… literally.

…So make plans to get your hands on the entire 4-disc (5 hour) package and your piano playing will never be the same!
