what the hell is that first chord? Bbaug/E?

[xJasbo]

Its still a C chord, but with extensions of b7 9 #11 So it would usually be called a C#11. The 13 is also commonly used in this type of movement . These extensions create the lydian dominant scale . So hes using C lydian dominant extensions on a C chord resolving to F , in second example he uses the same principal but on a D chord with D lydian dominant extensions resolving to G .

I disagree that the best gospel musicians play by note. I have played the piano since I was 4 and learned to play strictly by note. And yes, I could play every chord in my sleep. A couple years ago I started playing for a gosepel band, all they gave me was lyrics with chords above them. Because I play by note it was hard for me, but I'm learning more and more fill ins. I'm getting to meet more and more gospel groups as we travel around, and I can guarantee that all the good ones play by ear

If your going to do it for a living and be a studio musician, you have to read music

[MoJoPiano]

Absolutely correct! I've been around gospel music (singers and musicians) all of my life, and the BEST are those that can read music well, know their music theory, AND are also blessed with a good ear and the gift of improvisation, especially at the piano. No question about it!

[S4QPiano]

Not true, everyone has their own different way. Different is good, Don't try to be like anyone else.

You must be able to play your scales in your sleep before you can play the piano. Build on your scales with this series of videos. AND YOU MUST LEARN TO READ MUSIC!!!

[temetito922]

you don't need to learn to read music, if you learn to play by ear, you'll see that it's kind of pointless to learn how to read music, when you could hear the song and play it....plus when you when you play by ear, you could add your own feeling to songs.

Excellent lesson on passing chords, or as I like to call them "transitional" chords. Jeff is an expert when it comes to chord theory. Thanks so much for posting this.

Yes...thats easy for someone well versed in piano but not amateurs.
