All right, man, we're getting some good stuff today.

Good questions.

Okay, here we go.

From Tortog, our friend, gospel piano uses a lot of passing chords.

Can you talk about passing chords? Okay, so let's talk about passing chords specifically in gospel, I would say.

Sure. And as much as people ask me about gospel, it's like, man, you got gospel, gospel. I've never studied gospel in the way that I would like to actually.

And so I'm not an expert on, I mean, I can play some of this stuff, especially as it's sort of

infused more in the jazz and blue stuff that I play.

So I look at it as more just, I'm not a gospel pianist, but I've taken some elements from it

that I like. And the passing chord

things that I hear are like, you know, so we're on a G, right? Let's say we're going to go to the four.

Here's the four. So that's blues and it's also kind of gospel because of the way I'm voicing it, right?

So a passing chord, and this one's kind of unique to gospel in that, like, if you do it in jazz, it's like, ah, gospel, right?

So it's like, there you go.

Ah.

So that's just the walk-up, right?

And so that's definitely gospel.

So you're going two, and this is all diatonic, and then to the four.

But then, like, one thing... So then you're going, instead of G over B, you're going like i'm only adding one note which is the e flat because

so it's like a e a b a b altered b a b7 sharp 9 flat 13 so you've got you got all these different

like this is obviously a passing chord position. You're going from B to C.

So like what are the things you can do?
