Hot Tips for Creating Amazing Music Beats at Home...

2010-10-10T15:52:00.000-07:00

Hey, fellow musicians.

You need hot beats to pull your tunes together. A great set of

music beats will be the backbone to your rhythm section.

They can peak the interest of your listeners and make them

want to keep coming back for more of your music.

Check out some hot tips for creating amazing music beats from

the comfort of your home.

Make Your Own Beats Today

1. Customize the beats so they fit your signature sound.

Whether your signature sound has a rap, funk, rock, or country

feel etc. you want people to know they are hearing your unique

beats when they are listening to your music. Your beats should

really set you apart from others, and grab your audiences

attention.

2. Utilize music beat resources that are available to you.

There are great resources available to help you make your own

beats from the comfort of your home e.g. music beat creation

software, beat making equipment, music forums etc…use them!

There are great tools for sampling beats, building upon your

foundation and creating hot new beats. Listen to cool rhythms

you like on CDs, MP3s, music videos, radio, at gigs etc. as this

is great inspiration and really can help you feel the grooves.

Keep them fresh in your mind, and get a raw sampled recording

of some of the beats (e.g. using a handheld recording device) so

you can remember them later. Then edit the beats to make them

your own. You can also create your own beats from scratch using

good music production software.

We recommend you check out the music production resource at the

following link because it is easy to use (and has video tutorials),

has a cutting edge music sequencer, and allows you to export your

beats via mp3.

Visit this link to make your own beats today!

3. Search for music forums online to find a community of
beat makers you can trade ideas with.

Visiting forums is a great way of learning what others are doing to

find and create great beats. You can go online and use a search

engine to search for forums focused on creating music beats.

You may be surprised to find that there are several forums focused

on the specific style of music beats you are in to. They are a very

good place to go to brainstorm ideas and get tips for recording

great beats. You may even be able to take your beats to a new

level by collaborating with other beat makers.

4. Expand your creativity, and ear for music.

When you need ideas for new beats, try to emulate the beats you hear

that sound really tight and catch your attention. Look for the subtleties in

the rhythms that you really like and learn how to recreate them in your own

voice. You can practice to your hearts content right in the comfort of your

home. This can help improve your rhythm and ear for music.

Also, make a practice of experimenting with your rhythm machines

to make your own beats. Once you find your groove you'll be surprised

what you can create.

5. Record the beats you create!

Always remember this important note... make sure you record your beats so you

can remember them later!…You can record your beats at home using a handheld

recording device, home recording equipment, or software. Whatever recording option

you choose to use, just make sure you use it...so you can share your hot new grooves

with your fans.

7 Hot Tips for Getting Signed to Record Labels

2008-08-09T23:24:00.000-07:00

Hi, fellow musicians.

Before you think about sending your music into major record labels, like Jive Records,

there are some things you must know. The record label representative you work with

must have a vibe with you and your music.  It is their job to find the next big artist, one

who will get radio play and sell a lot of CD's and MP3 downloads.  If you have interest

in getting a record deal, pay close attention to the following important tips to help you

take your music to the next level...and get  signed.

1) Make Sure Your Music is Tight!

The production needs to be solid, and the music quality must sound professional.

Of course a lot of fine tuning can be done in the studios after you're signed, but

you know the saying...you only have one time to make a good first impression...

so make the most out of it.

2) NEVER USE Certified Mail to Send Your Music to Record Labels.

Certified mail is the first step in the legal process so artist reps will likely

put your mail to the bottom of their pile.

3) NEVER Contact an A&R (Artists and Repertoire) Representative More
than Once in a Week...if they Expressed Interest in Your Music.

They are extremely busy, and will get back to you when they can. Also, if they

think you have a hit on your hands...you may have problems getting them off

of the phone because they will be so ready to talk with you.

4) NEVER Send More Than 4 Downloadable Songs.

If you are given the go ahead to send your music to an A&R rep for record deal

consideration, do not send them more than 4 downloadable songs at a time or

10-12 beats if you are a beat maker.  They are very busy so you want to respect

their time by not overwhelming them with too many music samples.

Also, 4 downloadable songs (or 10-12 beats)  is more than enough to give them a

feel for your music.

5) If You Mail Songs to Your Contact at a Record Label, Put Your
Contact Information on Your CD AND Packaging!

A&R reps are so busy, they may open your package and immediately get distracted

with 10 other things. Eventually they may come back to your CD, and if your

contact information isn't listed on your CD...your out of luck. So don't make this

big mistake!

6) NEVER Mark Your Emails Urgent.

This sends the message that your songs are more important than anything and

everything they have going on in their life, and if they see your message really

isn't urgent on the scheme of things...that may upset them. This is a great way to

get you placed on the back burner of other projects your A&R Rep is working on.

7)  Make Sure Your Photography and Graphics on Your Site are High Quality.

Your website is like your resume' to music professionals, so if it is of poor quality,

they may not take your music seriously and you may not be considered for a

record deal. *Note: If you have a Myspace account, and have some friends on there

that would be viewed as non-professional, strongly consider removing them from

your friends area if you want the executives at the record labels to take you seriously.

Shuffle Blues Video Lesson

2008-03-08T22:36:00.000-08:00

Hi, fellow musicians.

Here's a video I think you'll really like.

You can check it out at the link below.

http://www.indie-musicnetwork.com/shuffleblues

This video comes from DVD 5 of Dan Denley's
Acoustic Guitar Secrets course (coming Fri,
March 14). And people are stoked about it.
Here are couple of comments I saw posted on the
blog...

*****************************************************
NiteHowl March 8th 2008 1:42am

Dan,
It’s lookin’ good! Soundin’ good. Looks to me like your on the
right track to layin’ down some tune apps in a usable fashion.
Staying on this train of thought WILL get the job done.
NiteHowl

*****************************************************

Steve Givens March 9th 2008 at 12:41am

Dan, This was a very simple way to introduce the blues to a
beginner, and also a great way for someone who has a little
knowledge about blues to progress forward and maybe add
a little more to their own style. Great work, keep ideas like
this going. Thanks, Steve

*****************************************************

Anyways, check out the video and enjoy!

Fan Email Marketing Article

2008-01-20T01:35:00.000-08:00

Hi, fellow musicians.

One of our musician friends over at Ticket Printing.com wrote a great article about how to stay connected with your fans via email...check out the article below.

To your music success,
Traci Crowley
Create Music Beats, Produce Music, and More!

---------------------------------------------------------------

Using emails for online music marketing proves to be a very difficult task to master,
but a very important one that every artist must master. Fan club newsletters allow fans
to stay connected with the artists without the added effort of returning to the artist’s site.
I have simplified it into three key areas for a successful fan club email newsletter.

Perking Interest

One of the hardest parts in compiling a music newsletter is getting subscribers to read it!

1. Create an interesting subject title. Just like blogs and articles, no one will start to read the newsletter if the title or subject line does not generate interest in the fan to read the publication. “August Newsletter” does not perk interest in a subject line.

2. Make it personal to the subscriber. Instead of writing a general “hi,” make the newsletter specific for everyone. This makes the fan feel important to the artist because their personal name is used. Similarly, use the band’s name or specific artist’s name when closing the letter to add to the personal effect.

3. Write for the reader. The newsletter is not a place to sell products and promote music, but rather a place to write interesting content the reader wants to read. Occasionally mentioning new fan merchandise is all right, but always keep the reader in mind. Target your content to the reader and make sure it is relevant to their needs.

4. Personalize it more. Have options the user can choose makes the letter just for them. For instance, allow them to insert their zip code for the option of receiving info when the band is touring in their area. The more personal and specific towards the fan, the more apt they will want to read it.

Provide relevant links. Hand-in-hand with writing the newsletter for the fans, provide the fans with relevant links they would want. Direct them towards other music related sites or services.

Perfecting the Newsletter

Find the perfect layout. The design and layout of the newsletter may need several revisions before finding the perfect look. Having color and formatting are necessary but can be overdone. In addition, inserting picture and video that the fans would like make the newsletter stand out more.
Choose the correct day and time. Fans need to expect the newsletter in a consistent manner, whether it is every week or every month. EmailLabs reports the best day to send emails is Tuesday or Wednesday in the morning hours when people regularly check their email. After picking a day, stay consistent with that day and time.
Encourage word-of-mouth marketing. Add a “Send to a Friend” button where your fans can easily send the newsletter to anyone they believe would enjoy it. Word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective, so encourage it as much as possible.
Check the newsletter before emailing it to fans. Based on the type of server your fan uses, (Hotmail, Yahoo, Google, AOL, etc.) the newsletter may show up differently. Sign-up to all the major email servers and send the newsletter to yourself to check the formatting in each before sending a faulty newsletter to all your fans.

Track Email Stats

Track all statistics relevant to the email campaign. Valid metrics include:

Click through rate
Open rate
Click to open
Bounce rate
Referral rate
Unsubscribe rate

If these statistics do not meet standards, chances are the design format or content is not relating to the fans. Start by asking these basic questions:

· What are your fans not getting out of the newsletter?

· Why do they not find it valuable?

· Does the content need to be more targeted?

Email campaigns are an ongoing process requiring constant attention and direction.

Email newsletters are important for maintaining a constant fan base. To gain more subscribers, refer to the newsletter as a fan club and offer exclusive offers to fan club members only, like pre-sale tickets or discounts. Your band will instantly see a bigger subscribing list / fan base after implementing these techniques.

Here's a Great Way to Sell Your Music Online

2007-12-20T17:46:00.000-08:00

Hi, fellow musicians.

You want a great way to sell your music online?

Add fresh content to your website...often, that is related to your
music website.

This gives your website visitors another reason to come back to your
site...to see what new content you may be adding.

Making your website more "sticky" is something to work towards
because the longer you have current and potential customers at
your site, the more opportunity you'll have to sell your music online
to them.

One way you can make your site more "sticky" is to add Royalty Free Music Articles
to your site.

http://www.indie-musicnetwork.com/imn_indiemusic_articles.htm

Any article on our site that is listed as "Royalty Free" can be placed on your website.

All we ask is that you keep our author biography in place at the end of
the article...that's it.

http://www.indie-musicnetwork.com/imn_indiemusic_articles.htm

Remember, content is king...so the more relevant content you add to your
website, the better.

To your music success,

***************************************************************************************************************************

With this newest Urban Gospel course you'll be able
to...

* Implement a host of simple tricks that are
guaranteed to instantly add that well-known west coast
flavor to your playing (like

Jason White and

Mike Burrell).

* Beef up your playing drastically by adding
these small little

grace notes, slides, and fill-ins to your

chord transitions. Jon
utilizes this trick at least 80% of the time and he
spills the beans on exactly what to do to "own" it.

* How to master the art
of passing chords so that your

chord progressions and songs never sound dull or
"predictable." As you'll learn in the course, the goal
is to be unpredictable." That's when you know you've
arrived.

* Learn the ways of the west coast and how to
contemporize your playing by using countless numbers
of

"stupid "chords",

movements, and

accidentals! (Note: Please don't be offended.
This is real terminology in the gospel musician
community).

* How to play tons of
opened and closed chords and how to use them at the
right time.

... And much much more!

If you're like me, you know how hard it is to find
valuable resources for gospel musicians! If you're truly

serious about

learning worship music, this could very well be what
you've been

looking for!

These New Gospel Techniques Are Amazing!

2006-06-16T15:46:00.000-07:00

Click the link below to see video clips and audio samples of what the
course will teach you.

http://www.indie-musicnetwork.com/recommends/GospelKeysXtreme

The dvd courses are already selling in record numbers so I recommend
you get to their website to check it out! Also, for a limited time, they're
offering a BONUS disc with tons of extra footage along with loads of
SECRET techniques (...the total course is 4 discs /ALMOST a WHOPPING
9 hours!!!

Not only is it almost nine hours, but it is packed with tons of"phat" chords,
progressions, songs (like "I shall Wear a Crown," "As the Deer," "Oh Magnify
the Lord,"Lift Your Name onHigh", "Holy Ground" and more), and tons of
concepts like"Ditone," and the "Circle of Fifths (Remix)" principle that will show
you how to extend the original circle and give your playing that NEW
Jazzy/neo soul feel!

So if you're a church musician and want to play urban and
contemporary music --- or, if you're an accomplished musician and just want
to learn more chords and concepts, I highly recommend that you check out his
course. I've pasted some of the most important features of the course below.

Gospel Keys X-treme will teach you...

==> How to take your urban worship playing to the next level by mastering
more complex chord movements, progressions, and contemporary patterns.

to immediately apply these "phat"contemporary chords to all your songs.

==> Discover the power of the "Ditone," the secret sister of the well-known
"Tritone!" Hint: Using ditones on your left hand drastically improves your
sound.

You'll learn, step-by-step, how to do this!

==> How to apply the "half note INSTANT phatness trick" to most of the chord
progressions you already know! Learn how to make all your chords sound full
(aka "phat") in no time.

==> The ultimate remix to the circle of fifths and how to use it to contemporize
all of your favorite songs.

http://www.indie-musicnetwork.com/recommends/GospelKeysXtreme

==> The urban and contemporary way to play the famous "2-5-1"progression
and how your playing will never be the same by knowing these new chords!

the alternative patterns that are found in all contemporary music!

http://www.indie-musicnetwork.com/recommends/GospelKeysXtreme

==> How to manipulate the
flatted seventh to create the ultimate contemporary sound!
You can't afford to miss this technique.

==> Learn what neo-soul clusters are and how to incorporate them into your
daily piano playing!

==> Jazz soloing demonstrations and what it takes to add these solos to "dry"
parts of your worship songs.

http://www.indie-musicnetwork.com/recommends/GospelKeysXtreme

==> The power of neo-soul chord movements and how gospel is moving in this
direction (...don't get left behind, musically)!

==> The key to using "grace notes" as fill-ins between your chord movements.

You'll learn, step-by-step, how to use"grace notes" to your advantage!

The pros finally reveal their secrets!

2006-05-18T16:10:00.000-07:00

Dear friend,

I'm going to get right to the point, because I don't know how long these
new Gospel resources will be available.

Do you want to learn to play like those award-winning pianists that you
hear on the radio?

Do you want to cut the learning time in half and, at the same time, sound
as if you've been playing since the day you were born?

Have you played all the "smaller" stuff and want to play with the "Big Boys?"

I know you're probably saying "of course I do... that's a silly question."
Obviously, the response is yes. I know you do, but it can become very
difficult for this reason that I'm about to share with you.

Musicianship and the road to becoming a very talented artist tends to be
extremely sacred. I mean, if you come up in the church or wherever you're
learning to play the piano, it is treated as a personal art form. YOU learn,
YOU evolve, and YOU progress through practice, practice and more practice.
As a result, many musicians are a little protective of their skills. It's just that
simple.

They do not wish to disclose many of their secrets that took them a very long
time to learn and PERFECT! It's very individualized and unique to them.
That being said, I think I've found something that might help you get inside
(so to speak). I've found two amazing artists that, through the website below,
are willing to share with you ALL they've learned.

Not only are they going to play for you...In a WHOPPING ***7 HOURS***
and ***6 DVDs***, they're going to personally show you step-by-step and
over-the-shoulder ALL of the licks and tricks that have given them the
opportunity to play with Gospel Greats.

I'm talking about Gospel icons that we all know and love: Yolanda Adams,
Kim Burrell, Shirley Caesar, Donald Lawrence, Daryl Coley, The Kurt Carr
Singers, Judith, Christie McAllister, John P. Kee, and more!

The Gospel Keys Ultimate Course contains not 1--- but 3 courses together!

1. PJ Morgan: Contemporary Gospel Piano!
2. PJ Morgan: Organ Master's Class!
3. Cassandra O'neal: West Coast Piano!

WITH THIS PJ MORGAN CONTEMPORARY PIANO COURSE,
YOU'LL LEARN...

>>> How to take traditional hymns like "His eye is on the sparrow" and
spice them up with the use of various altered chords, inversions, voicings,
melodic lines, and more!

>>> The core differences between playing the piano versus the organ
(precision, accuracy, etc). Hint: While the notes are the same between the
two instruments, there are some major distinctions that have to be known
or you'll never produce the contemporary sound you want!

>>> How to effectively transition between chords with melody lines.

This concept is the secret to making your progressions sound more smooth!

http://www.indie-musicnetwork.com/recommends/GospelKeysUltimate

>>> Explore extended chords like min9, m11, m13, dom13 and how to spice
them up (using both open and closed voicings). Two musicians can play the
same "kind" of chord (e.g. - min9) and make the sound totally different!

>>> The secrets to accurately choosing the right accompanying chords to a
melody line (examples shown in "His Eye is on theSparrow" and
"Amazing grace" and others.

>>> How to master stride piano techniques (bass and chord in left hand while
the right hand can play melodic lines, additional chords, or fill-ins).

Secrets to Playing Foot Stompin' Praise Music Uncovered!

2006-04-23T15:34:00.000-07:00

Dear Friend,

This message is directed to all of you who absolutely love those
toe tapping, foot stomping, hand clapping, finger snapping praise
songs. If you fall into that category, you're going to absolutely
love what I just stumbled upon.

The folks over at Hear and Play Music just sent me an e-mail....
It was marked urgent. So, I thought I should read it right away.
The information I received was regarding a brand new DVD
release, and I must say that it was absolutely incredible...

It was filled with tons of information and professional techniques
that anyone learning to play up tempo praise songs would want
to have.

This new resource demonstrates everything that you need to know
from A to Z ( step by step and over the shoulder).

This means you'll be able play all of your favorite praise songs by ear
in no time AND accomplish ALL your musical goals-- however BIG
or small. Well, maybe you should hear about it from the teacher himself.

Below, I pasted a few of the many benefits you will gain once you finally
have this course in your hands.

With the NEW Gospel Keys 300 you'll...

-->Discover the five parts to a praise song and how to recognize them
with your ear. Knowing them is one thing and recognizing is another.
By the end of the program, you'll NOT only be able to recognize the
different parts of a praise song, BUT you'll have several options
to consider when playing them (we never play the same thing over
and over ... I will teach you several different ways to play EACH part).

http://www.indie-musicnetwork.com/recommends/GospelKeys300

--->Learn what "A-B" songs are and how they differ from "A-B-C-D"songs.
This is something that hundreds of gospel musicians still don't know.
It frustrates me to hear a musician playing an "A-B-C-D" praise song when
they should be playing an "A-B" praise song. It is very very very important
to know thedifferences between the two types. Yes, one is an extension of
the other --- but the extensions make ALL THE DIFFERENCE. You'll learn
just what I'm talking about.

http://www.indie-musicnetwork.com/recommends/GospelKeys300

--->Discover how to transition between parts A, B, C, D and E of a praise
song. Just because you know each part doesn't mean you'll know how to
transition between each one. I will show you smooth ways of transitioning
between, for example, parts A and B, or parts C and D. This is very
important as it helps you to distinguish one part from the other.
These transitions can also serve as "indicators" to let you know what parts
are coming next.

http://www.indie-musicnetwork.com/recommends/GospelKeys300

--->Learn three methods to figure out what type of praise song is being
sung. I will show you, step-by-step, how to classify different praise songs.
You will also learn how to figure out when a praise song has transitioned
from an "A-B" to an"A-B-C-D" or from an "A-B-C-D" to an "A-B"
praise song. These are priceless techniques, especially if your church sings
a medley of praise songs, one after the other. You know... I could really go
on and on about this DVD, but due to the lack of space, I'm going to have to
send you to the official editorial so you can check it out for yourself:

Go to:

http://www.indie-musicnetwork.com/recommends/GospelKeys300

(...and if you're really serious about taking your piano playing to the next
level and avoid the pitfalls that many musicians fall into, you might want to
consider taking them upon their other "Gospel Keys" courses").

ChristmasKeys: How to Play Popular Christmas Songs Within 27 Minutes!

2005-12-02T12:12:00.000-08:00

Dear Music Lover,

I'm so excited to be writing you about a new resource that will help you play ALL your favorite Christmas songs by ear.

As you know, this is the season of SMILES, WARMTH, and TOGETHERNESS, and when I find something that can bring ALL of those together in one, I just have to let my friends know!

The Christmas season, personally my favorite season of the whole year, is FINALLY here. AND... Courtesy of Jermaine and HearandPlay, I have a PERFECT gift idea that YOU or one of your relatives would LOVE to see under the tree (...or better yet, on top of their piano :)

My good friend Jermaine Griggs over at HearandPlay is at it AGAIN! Recently, he let me know about his brand new 3-HOUR Christmas course, Christmas Keys Vol. 1 - "Conquering Christmas Classics", release date (Thurs., Dec. 1st, 2005)......In this UNIQUE course, he covers a NEW and INNOVATIVE way to play ALL those Christmas classics all of us love (you know... the ones that make us feel all warm inside).

In this course, you'll be able to impress your family and friends during this holiday season by mastering Christmas classics like Silent Night, First Noel, Go Tell It On The Mountain, and more!

After he takes you through his UNIQUE song learning process, you'll not ONLY know how to conquer those songs but VIRTUALLY any Christmas song out there (because almost ALL Christmas songs follow the same basic patterns as you'll see)!

In CK1:

*Learn several variations of each song so you never have to play these Christmas classics the same way every time!*Discover the power of "inversions" and how changing one note in your chord can totally alter the way a progression sounds!

*Beginners: How to play an entire song with only three-fingered major chords (...also known as "major triads").

*How to add fuel to your bass by understanding how "power" chords work in holiday music...

CLICK FOR MORE DETAILS:
http://www.indie-musicnetwork.com/recommends/ChristmasKeys

...AND YOU'LL ALSO LEARN

*How to use split chords (e.g. - "Cmaj / Eb or Fmin / D) and superimposed voicings to add spice to a chord progression!

*The power of altered chords like "Db13#11," "C7#9#5," "Abmin7b5," "Bb9#5," "G7#5," and how they totally change the feel of a song!*How to easily substitute 4 and 5-fingered chord like min7, dom9, maj11, and dim7 for basic triad chords to add depth to your playing!

*How to utilize the strength and pull of 2-5-1, 7-3-6, and 1-4 chord progressions in holiday songs like Silent Night, The First Noel, O Come All Ye Faithful, and more!*How to play "Go Tell It On The Mountain" in a churchy praise style! I'm talking about bass lines, runs, fill-ins, and more (...similar to GospelKeysTM 300 and GospelKeysTM 500)!

*From beginning to end: How to play every song, step-by-step, with no guessing (whatsoever) or any information left out!

By the end of this course, you'll have what it takes to fully play all of these Christmas songs by ear... guaranteed!

CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS:

How to Play the Guitar

2005-11-30T20:05:00.000-08:00

Hi,

Yesterday I was talking to my friend Chris Elmore (owner of GuitarTips.com.au) and could not believe what he and his team have been up to!

After nearly 1 years worth of work, he has finally finished making a site which shows you how to play the electric / acoustic guitar in 30 days!

It is completely online, so you can access it anywhere around the world at any time. It contains image, text, sound, songs, tabs...the works!

And best of all, it saves you a fortune on hourly guitar lessons....hey, you don't even have to leave your home in the first place!

This also saves parents a fortune on child tuition fees as well as allows the learner to learn at their own pace at their own leisure without breaking the bank!

It contains the exact same techniques Chris used to skyrocket his music success and get into recording studio's, channel 7 news, hits FM radio and appear live on stage in front of thousands!

With over 70 JAM PACKED guitar lessons - there's definitely something you can apply into your own playing.

After subscribing to it myself and seeing the amount of information it contains -- I had to tell my friends about it

To see what I mean - just go to:

http://www.indie-musicnetwork.com/recommends/GuitarTips

I highly recommend that you check it out... I managed to get you a head start on this site! I guarantee you'll be glad you did!

All the best...

Our good friend Jermaine Griggs over at HearandPlay.com just contacted us about his brand new 5 HOUR worship course, GospelKeys 202 Special Edition - "Mastering Worship Chords,"

...In this NEW course, he covers a systematic way to play worship songs. In other words, he takes you through a song learning process that will enable you not only to learn the songs he shows you step by step, but to master literally any worship song out there (because most worship songs follow the same basic patterns as you'll see)!

"Gospel Keys 202 Special Edition" is LOADED with tons of helpful tips and techniques, it will leave none of your worship questions unanswered. Not only is GK202SE very educational, it's entertaining as well.

This edition is full of fun -- bloopers, unedited footage on the road, and a 30 min in-depth interview with Jermaine Griggs, the man behind this innovative phenomenon.

Since Gospel Keys 202 SE is so EXCLUSIVE, Jermaine was only able give us a sneak peak into the detailed specifics of what this incredible course has to offer...

Here's what the author has to say:

**Learn over 60 new voicings, chords, progressions, and fancy arrangements to playing worship music! From fancy inversions of the ninth chord to the secret "Quartal" chord (which sounds very smooth), you'll learn how to replace all of your basic triads and 3-fingered chords with full-sounding 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, and altered chords!

Believe me when I say: "Others will notice!"
**Learn patterns (or what I'm calling "couples") like: "1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 1-6, 1-7, 2-5, 2-6, 3-6, 3-4, 4-5, 4-3, 4-6, 4-7, 5-1, 5-2, 5-4, 6-2, 6-7, 7-3, and many more! Don't be intimidated by the numbers. They are simply taken from major scales. The power in understanding all of these couples is that once you know them all, there will be absolutely NO SONG you won't be able to learn! These patterns are in 95% of all gospel worship songs and you'll know them sooner than you could have ever imagined!

**Train your ear to recognize these small "couples" with specially designed ear-training sections of the video course (one-on-one with me)! Once you've mastered all of the "couples" above, then you must be able to recognize them in songs! I will constantly test you right there on the screen without you seeing the notes that I am playing in an effort to help you build your ear skills!

These are just a FEW of the MANY things you'll be able to do once you've got this special edition of the Gospel Keys.

Jermaine told us himself that virtually THOUSANDS of people have been calling about this 5 hour mega course -- the phones haven't stopped ringing for the past month...
