Last night as I was playing the keyboard, I stumbled upon a few chords that sounded like “Conjunction Junction” from School House Rock. I kept it up and finally came up with a decent sounding rendition of this song and it was fun! I believe that you need to make sure that you just play without worrying about getting it right. You will be amazed at what you come up with. It is during these times that I find many new chords and different ways to play progressions.
I picked a drum pattern on my keyboard and just started playing. First the tune was just simple then I began adding some other things in. Sometimes the additions worked, and sometimes they didn’t work. The point is I learned a lot during this time that I wrote down for future reference. Keep a notebook handy during practice times so that you can write down what you learned. Writing it down really helps you to retain the information better.
Keep practicing and growing no matter what, and especially when you feel like you are going nowhere fast. Believe it or not you are learning more than you can even imagine. Happy learning!
Oh I bet you want the chords to that old Saturday morning favorite “Conjunction Junction” don’t you? Well here they are:
G7-G7/F-C/E-Eb7-G/D-C#dim-C-D7-G Happy Playing!
