Seriously, such a great video for not only the keys players, but for the entire worship team, media team, leaders and pastors. Using music to highlight God's messages and motivate the congregation.
This was right on time My pastor is doing a reading cd and asked me to play something in the background Thanks so much guys for being lead by the spirit
Great video! Would you guys consider a video showing how you set up the keylab with main stage? Showing how you set up the keyboard to trigger the pad and things like that... Thank you guys for what you do!!
Transitions for electric (and/or acoustic) guitar would be great, right now I'm working with chorus, delays and volume swells but some more tricks would be amazing.
Great reminder of the basics. Whether you are a new worship keys player or are an accomplished worship keys player, these simple tips are always a great reminder to keep it simple.
Guys I love this video. I have never seen anything like it and I will refer any keyboard player to this for playing background we call it lol. Thank you for being as thorough as you guys were, and talked about the chords themselves and how to use them as well. Question tho. What would you guys suggest on how to transition from song to song that are in different keys? I play the piano myself and I have used the circle of 5ths/4ths and also have simply just found a "common chord" between the two keys. I think that would be an awesome and informational video to make if possible!
Thank you so much. I have been struggling for months with this. So glad I stumbled across your channel. I admit, I feel silly right now that it was right there and SO easy. I just needed to be told! Thank you, thank you!
Question Fuller, I know it depends on context and person, but I’m curious how much your playing is “measured” relative to 4/4 vs how much your just floating in time. A ratio perhaps? Or you start floating and get more measured if the rest of the band is coming in later on?
Great question Danny! I think in this case, it's important to follow the natural tempo or "feel" of the person speaking. If you listen to the Psalm 23 reading, you'll hear me following the flow of Brian as he reads the text. I tell our keys players to think in terms of "whole" notes at a very slow and rubato tempo. If you are playing with a band, or drums, then of course, all bets are off!!! follow the beat:)
People are watching you...so you better look happy and you better be smiling like a person is supposed to look when you love Jesus. Am I getting that about right? 😉 Also, don’t play wrong notes, you could ruin the moment and God’s Spirit is counting on that pad to do some serious softening and convicting...definitely don’t want any wrong-note spirit-quenching-business going down Music is powerful!...wait...well the Bible is powerful too! Seriously, though. I think modern “worship” teams are taking this whole inspiring, moment, mood thing way too far. I know everyone has differing opinions on this, but here’s mine: when we are taking about “creating emotion” and worrying about the travesty of someone waiting “4 mins” to start playing mood inducing pad work, I think we are worshiping our own emotional experience more than the God of the songs. Throw hate (or disagreement) if you must, but I hope it’s just food for thought. I generally really like what you all do here on WT, but just can’t behind some of this
Excellent video. I think everyone involved with a worship team (particularly keyboardists) should see this. Also, I particularly appreciate the point about the V chord. I definitely encourage everyone to be very careful and conscious about its use, because the tension of the V can create more harmonic motion than is desired or appropriate for the given context. Thank you for addressing this. (In some situations, a V7sus4 might be appropriate, delivering more tension than Vsus4 but less than V. I don't think this would be a common solution, but may be perfect in some specific situations)
Great video! Would love to see how you guys incorporate the pads into mainstage! I’ve been brainstorming a clean way to incorporate pads with only one keyboard.
Great Vid. One correction though at around 8:35 You were talking about cycling through a C-Csus-C-C9 or C2. I think You meant to say C major, C Sus4, C Major and then C Sus2. A C9 chord would have seventh in it as well as a 9th/2nd degree added to the original Triad to be called C9. And a C add 9 Chord would have a 9th degree over the original triad without a seventh. But non of those are being played in that part of the video. You were playing a Sus 2 chord which is simply a Major chord with the major 3rd flattened down to the 2nd or 9th interval and hence suspends the chords preventing it from being a propet Major chord. In the same way the Sus4 chord sharpens the major third up to a 4th degree. Both of these chords Sus4 and Sus2 are distinct from the previous two (add 9/add2 & C9) in that they avoid the major/minor third all together to make it a non Major/Minor chord, while the add9/add2 and C9 all have their thirds retained. Hope that makes some sense.
If you do start making keys turorials maybe make a little mini series on how to transition from guitar (acoustic or electric) to keyboard. I’m hoping to pick up keys next year and would to see some videos for it specially to guitar players who all ready know a lot of the theory behind it and need videos about technique. Thanks guys!
As a church guitar player who has basic keys playing knowledge, THANK YOU - please do more videos, as you’re able, about how to play keys in church at the basic level. Fuller, I like the simplicity of your explanations - guys like me need that sort of stuff. Just one suggestion - would it be possible to set up one of those overhead camera arrangements so viewers can see better the keyboard fingering ? I’m aware also that video producers can use software which highlights which keys are being depressed - you’re probably already aware of this... But no matter what, please continue to consider doing more keys-based stuff - the more arrows we have in our quiver, the better we are potentially able to serve if & when the need arises Thanks again. ......
Thanks guys, I am a worship pastor at a small church. I play guitar or drums and sometimes or keyboardist has been out and I will fill in with your worship pads and some washy guitar stuff but it's not the same. This video just clicked something for me and I feel like I can work on this and not have to completely gain mastery of the keyboard to be able to fill in next time. Thanks!
Please more Keyboard/Piano videos as well tutorials for songs would be super duper helpful. I enjoy playing how they play it on their record. That be super helpful as a intermediate keyboardist
I agree with all of this, except a major 7th can SOMETIMES work really well if it's played very SUBTLY!!! and NO 3rds of the chord for me personally, I like to keep it hollow and spacious! 9th chords are the BEST!
I agree DW. The Major 7th is actually diatonic for the Tonic chord so have at it! I also used the F(four chord) with a raised 4th (Lydian) in the 23rd psalm. In the key of C it's a F chord but replacing the A with a B Natural... creates some nice tension.
Revisiting this video because I'm looking for a good keyboard...were you guys able to load the mainstage patches onto the keyboard so you aren't having to use mainstage live? I know that's a capability from the keyboard software, but wanted to know how you were using mainstage during the video, since I didn't see a computer!
Hey Abby - as far as I know the only way to use MainStage is to run it from a computer. I’ve never heard of a keyboard that can run mainstage on its own. In this video we had a laptop on the ground off camera running it.
This video it's so helpful thank you so much ,really looking forward for next video ! , can you guys make a video of what to play during prayers, is it good to play a song or to keep it simple ,if everyone should be playing too or even if someone sings on the background? ,again thank you for this awesome guide ,God bless
Good video and helpful especially to less experienced players. Not to nitpick, but terminology counts, so...a ninth chord and a two chord are not the same. You are playing C2 when you add the 2 "D" to the C triad. A 9th chord is different because it implies the seventh is also played, which of course is whole different sound. So C2 or C add 2 = C E G D (play the 2 along with the third "E") C sus 2 = C D G (play the 2 instead of the third - "E") C9 = C E G Bb D (the 9 by itself always means dominant, so C7 plus the 9) Cmaj9 = C E G B D (Cmaj7plus the 9) Great channel, wonderful resources, keep it up
Thanks Joe! I was simply referring to the 9th tone as the 2nd diatonic pitch above the octave root C, which in this case is adding the 9th tone to the melodic phrase. More of a philosophy than an actual chord tone. You are correct, I’m not actually playing a “ninth chord”... I’m adding the 9th to the melodic passage. Saying 9th, is implying the octave above the root and NOT the low D otherwise that would sound a little muddy.
@@brianmichaelfuller Yea, great stuff. I wouldn't have bothered except when I teach basic theory at worship workshops this is a question I get all the time - "what's the difference between C9 and C2". It confuses people, so I thought I'd tag onto your nice teaching opportunity. And of course none of these chord names dictate voicings, just which notes are in the chord. Again, I really appreciate the resources you guys are putting out there.
Best way to practice is to literally play those progressions over and over until they become natural to your fingers. Power Tip: Also, find an audio book and just practice playing underneath it!
Hey guys, are ya'll going to be doing any further things with HX effects. I just got one and would love to see more videos pushed towards just the HX. Love the resource ya'll are for me and Northside Worship out of Mineola TX. Keep on going with this awesome ministry!
Brian Michael Fuller this is a common issue that many keys players struggle with. I know exactly what you’re suggesting and use that general rule often. However, for some, it’s easier in concept than it is in practice. This subject, transitioning key signature changes in worship, would be a great Keys Worship Tutorial video.
Our Mainstage Pads Player allows you to simply press the note of the key you want and it seamlessly cross fades to the next set of pads in that key! Check it out!!
Charlie Wulke The Mainstage Pads Player uses a different Pads file to reduce file size and increase playability. So you would need to purchase it separately. However, I do believe their is an upgrade discount path.
This was a bit cringy and amusing at times. Mostly because I was underwhelmed by the rudimentary approaches. However this is underscoring and in the context of contemporary worship this is simple and effective. Outside of this I would argue that there are other methods to creating transitions depending on the type of church you attend (traditional, gospel, etc.).
Same exact concept bud! The chords used can actually directly transition to a guitar playing swells or soft, ambient picking behind a speaker (or a mix of both). Although it’s ideal to use higher shaped triads with fewer notes to create space, you can totally get away with swelling on your standard “cowboy” chords.
Josh Petermann I was thinking more in terms of sounds etc. I run a Line6 Helix. These guys are running the Helix also and it would be nice to see their approach to translating this to the Helix.
Good basics man! I somewhat disagree on the "only play diatonic chords", there are plenty of notes and chords that are not diatonic and sound legit. Great points bro!
Yes you can play non-diatonic chords, but it draws the ear to the music and away from the dialogue... Use them SPARINGLY. The goal is to blend into the background and be very subtle. Rock on!
Yeah bro, sparingly is key. see what i did there ;) --i dont think it takes away from it though, in the same way he said to go to the 4 to give you some breathing room, it all is about making the persons words music. Just my two cents! :)
Band Direct I think that perhaps when it is said that it takes away, it is simply stating that because of the awesome uniqueness, it draws the attention to the music rather than to the dialogue the music is supporting. If it draws attention to the keys, it does take away from the words of the speaker. The idea of this style of playing is literally to be an enhancer, not the main ingredient. There are many many times in the worship set for us to do that, BUT when we are backing a speaker, that generally isn’t the time for non-diatonic chords.
Seriously, such a great video for not only the keys players, but for the entire worship team, media team, leaders and pastors. Using music to highlight God's messages and motivate the congregation.

100% Agreed
I feel like this isn't talked about enough. The art of the transition and exhortation can be super powerful. Yet often has the least planning.
I can't wait for more!! Great job guys:)
Lol the Caug at 6:54... Hey, if you can voice lead your way out of it, maybe it'll sound cool ;)
What is your suggestion when transitioning between songs? Lets say from C (no flats) to Bb with (2)?
This is fire!!!
That was awesome, thank you for taking the time to go into so much detail.
Piano and pads have a kind of power to touch people soul. When I'm with my keyboard, I feel closer to God!
Couldn’t agree more bro!!!

I don't know how to play keyboard, but that C AM C AM sound so depressed, love it
Yayy love this plz make more of Keys videos
How about the art of transitions between keys?
@Devin Stickells Find common chords, hold a chord for a bit then go into the 1 and 4 of the new key a couple times. Use drums as well such as cymbals.
At last!!!!! Im waiting for this so much guys thank you!¡!
Brian reading goodnight moon is now my ringtone.

@@brianmichaelfuller Thanks for the response. If I have already bought a library of Worship Tutorial Pads, can I add that to whatever player I buy?

If there are no keys but there is an electric guitar player, can this be done with swells ect, on electric and if yes could you do a how to video?
Yeah you can use similar concepts. We're planning to cover this on guitar soon!
Worship Tutorials that’s great thanks. I was asked by the worship leader to do this on electric a while back and had to say no for lack of knowhow.
Same exact concept bud!
The chords used can actually directly transition to a guitar playing swells or soft, ambient picking behind a speaker (or a mix of both).
Although it’s ideal to use higher shaped triads with fewer notes to create space, you can totally get away with swelling on your standard “cowboy” chords.
MOKEY12345 Knowing a few different inversions or positions for each chord on the neck can give you a lot of dynamic possibilities as well.
