C Major Talk Music 3-6-2-5-1 Worship Chord Progression

This is a video where I'm spontaneously playing some talk music using a 3-6-2-5-1 worship chord progression, in the key of C. The chords are Em-Am-Dm-G major- C major. I basically play the notes in the chords in arpeggios, and sometimes, I'll add the 7th of that chord before going to the next chord. This 3-6-2-5-1 Progression is based on the Circle of Fourths (Circle of Fifths Counterclockwise). You can take the chords in this progression and vary it to make your own original "song". Going around in the circle makes some common and beautiful progressions ie 5-1 and 2-5-1 (most song endings), 6-2-5-1, and 3-6-2-5-1. This progression makes beautiful worship talk music, that can be used during altar time or background music that's played while someone is talking. Enjoy.

I hear lots of minor chords in there.

Yes, there is a lot of minor chords. It's what you call a 3-6-2-5-1 progression, the 3, 6 and 2 chords are minor chords, which are:

3 = E minor

6 = A minor

2 = D minor

The other two chords are major chords, the 5-1, which are:

5 = G major

1 = C major (Key Center, or the key the song is in)

Thank you! I tried it, it was pleasure to my soul and I also tried 4-3-6-2-5-1 as well.

Why not just practice 1, 4, 7, 3, 6, 2, 5, 1. Just an exercise in backwards movements of 5ths, (or moving forwards in 4ths). C MA - F MA - B HALF DIM - E MI - A MI - D MI - G MA - C MA. (Using the scaletones). This type of movement is common in most music, except there are usually some added chords instead of moving only downward in 5ths. Whatever chord you are on, even if moving from a C ma to a D mi, a next good chord choice is often a downward movement of a 5th ie. Dmi to G ma... etc.

@Mlindos a minor chord sounds more somber or sad versus a major chord that sounds happy.

How do you hear a minor chord?
