Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]Hey, how you doing? This is Jake Jacobs.

[00:00:02]We're going to talk about the key of A flat. And then what do you do if you're kind of doing talk music and a little bit of a side note, this is the S700 sample, which I love. It's very playable S700 sample in the YC88.

[00:00:19]Um, and uh, let's say the the congregation builds and you want to kind of and you're you're not an organ. So, you you can't just really, you know, uh, uh, you know, you can on the piano, but the organ does something or organ has a is a little bit different than the feels as far as building. But what we're going to do in the key of a flat, we're going to go to the five. 1 2 3 4 five. And then do sharp five. And then we're going to play a flat. We're going to play the second inversion of a flat. This is the first inversion. This is the second inversion. So this is a flat triad. And then you're going to take this E flat, raise it up a half, excuse me, half step. And then you're going to take the C and raise it up a half step. And then you're going to play it over the sharp five over E. So you're going to do something like this.

[00:01:11]Right?

[00:01:12]So if they're building and they're like, "Oh yeah," they they wouldn't say, "Oh, yeah." If your church says, "Oh, yeah."

[00:01:23]Then you're playing then you're playing.

[00:01:28]That's a different kind of church. And awesome. Although my church on another side note, um my church uses the word awesome. You know, they go all right, all right, all right. And then awesome, awesome. Awesome. is I'm from I'm from the CCM church. Uh I I started in in in a gospel church when I was a kid. Then when I was about 17 18, I moved to a CCM church and the mixed congregation slash different kind of racial demographic use the word awesome.

[00:02:01]So when I hear awesome, I'm like, and I haven't gotten used to that after 15 years.

[00:02:09]But anyway, I digress. So, you're gonna play this and you're gonna raise it, you know, just kind of like raise the roof.

[00:02:16]You're gonna play this. So, this is the chord you want to play. And then, uh, this is what you want to do. A flat over E flat.

[00:02:27]And then you're going to play a B uh, that's a B flat diminish or D flat diminish over E over F minor. And then uh two.

[00:02:41]Oh, wait.

[00:02:44]And then you're going to do this thing.

[00:02:48]And then so you're going to do Let me let me play through that.

[00:02:52]And it's building. It's building, right?

[00:03:02]And then you do this I'm messing up.

[00:03:10]And then you can preach cord it if they keep building.

[00:03:15]Right. So what am I doing here? Um B7 sus4. So there's a seven. There's a sus4. This is a B chord. This is a B sus4. This is a B flat 7. Excuse me. Not B7 flat, you know, B7 sus4. So, right, A flat major over C.

[00:03:41]You're gonna play this uh think of that as a B with a six. Yeah, that's a flat five. And then diminish and then uh very cool. It's like ah well somebody and then so um you got to work on.

[00:04:11]So then uh and then they clap, they celebrate cuz that's how they do. And then you can drop it down and then and then you can go into talk music and then you can bring in your pad.

It's And I tell you what, the these are um the these are these are these are AirPods, right? I keep these on my uh I keep these on me, you know, um if I need to answer the phone. And I'm going to explain why I I carry these with me. Not just to answer calls, listen to music and everything, but I use these for ear protection. I have an ear pod, and I'm not trying to be rude taking calls while I'm playing a service, but this protects my ears because the organ speaker is right there. And you will ruin your hearing over, you know, over the period of time. So when you're screaming on that organ, that Leslie speaker IS and then your ear is ringing. So, um, you know, I'm going to have an affiliate link in the description of this video.

[00:08:36]Um, if you want some AirPods 3, um, get you some, uh, they they're they're great answering calls, blah blah blah. But I use them for ear protection.
