Gospel on electric guitar

Gospel on electric guitar: the progressions extended ii-V-I (ii–V–I) and IV walk-up (IV–V–vi), each with audio on its own page. This is the electric guitar's home ground: pop, rock, blues, funk and soul were shaped around its sound, whether you strum full chords or play short, tight chord stabs behind the singer.

In gospel music, harmony carries the emotion of collective singing: rich chords that rise and resolve like a congregation breathing as one. Here you'll study the extended ii-V-I — in practice, the classic route home to the main chord, with extra stops along the way — and the IV walk-up, a climbing chord line that builds a feeling of celebration.
