Also, remember that just because the progressions says “6-2-5-1″ it doesn’t mean you must only play one chord on the “6,” one chord on the “2,” and so on…
It is good to play multiple chords on the “6.” Here are some examples below.
From the “1″ chord in Db:
(1) Ab Db Eb F / Db
(6) Ab C Eb G / Bb
(6) Ab B D F / Bb
(2) Ab C Db F / Eb
(2) G C Db F / Eb
(5) Db Gb Bb / Ab
(5) C F A / Ab
(1) Bb Eb Ab / Db
Notice how many chords are used in the above “6-2-5-1″ progression. The first chord of each scale tone was usually more subtle but the second chord of the two would always push us towards the next chord. For example, the first “6″ chord above led to a stronger “6″ chord, which ultimately led us to our “2″ chord. Keep these types of ideas in mind when playing “6-2-5-1″ or any other progressions for that matter!
Very useful info there, gospel can be rather complex to play.
