Chord Story
As a worship leader or songwriter, do you get tired of using the same chord progressions over and over again? Many of the songs we use in church can be pretty predictable, and use many of the same chord movements.Worship music songwriter and arranger Kevin Ott gives some great tips on creative music arranging in this week’s episode. From creative ways to arrange songs, to chord progressions, and sone new cadence ideas, Kevin is filled with great tips.
Rearranging your songs to utilize these new chord progressions will take some work, but in the end, it will be worth it. Surprise your band and your congregation with some new arrangements of familiar songs and hymns.
It might just catch their attention, and cause them to listen with new ears to the familiar songs of the faith.
Learn how to move away from using the same four basic chords for a song, and dive deep into music theory with this article about creative music arranging.
