Gospel Midi & Chords - Sinking!

another level, another harvest

First of all, I must apologize for my sparse amount of posts lately, but I haven't been idle. I still play for a two churches at least 2 Sundays of every month, and in doing so, have learned quite a few new songs.



The song that I felt glad about learning was Tye Tribbett's Sinking! I must admit that I never thought that I could learn it, and that is the danger of doubt. Below is part 1 of my tutorial that explains how to play the entire song! I have other YouTube videos that I have posted, and plan to post more soon! I'm still looking for suggestions, so feel free to let me know in the comments. Be blessed.

Gospel Midi & Chords - YouTube

it's time for a gospel midi upgrade...

I was on YouTube yesterday, and I was looking for a song for assistance, and I was looking for an explanation for the song "Friend of God," by Israel & New Breed. The song originally appeared on the album New Season, but the version on Alive in South Africa is awesome. Live music has an extra something to it that just makes it awesome. For example, Fred Hammond's Pages of Life Chapters 1 & 2 illustrates this best. The first disc was recorded in the studio, but the second disc, with many of the same songs, is so much better.

With all that said, I only found 2 tutorials max for Friend of God, and they were not in the original key of E, like the song is performed on the album. It was difficult to find the tutorials as well, and so I thought, if I could ever master that song, I think someone might want to know how to play it. I have a camera for which I can record myself, I just now have to figure out how to set that up. I have seen the videos and I feel that the camera looking down on the keyboard is the best approach. Gospel midi is good, but oftentimes, the personal touch can make learning easier and sometimes, to actually see the difference in styles can be interesting.

Most importantly, I like the videos that make mention that the music needs to be led by the Spirit of God. With that said, some time soon, expect to see both midi and links to YouTube videos here. Below is the link to download Never Would Have Made It by Pastor Marvin Sapp. That song is a great testimony. Where would we be if it were not for the Lord on our side?
