If you do the work in this training, then I believe you can achieve all of these results. My big goals for you in this training are: 1. Learn Crazy Gospel Chords so you can stop playing the SAME songs the same way, OVER & OVER. Stop worrying if you re playing sounds simple or basic.

I m not going to give you a fish, I m going to teach you how to fish, using the principles inside Create Crazy Gospel Chords. 3. Becoming a well rounded musician. With anything in life, it s always smart to be versatile and adaptive in what you do. The chords and principles in Create Crazy Gospel Chords will give you more tools that will aid you in building yourself into a solid, reliable and highly capable musician. cont'd The Brathwaite Organization, Inc. 2016 Privacy Policy Disclaimer Terms of Service 2
4. Have fun, relax, enjoy playing & expressing yourself through music. It sucks when you are playing with other musicians, and you feel that creeping sense of insecurity within you, because you doubt your abilities on your instrument. Music is an art form of expression and individuality, and it loses that sacredness when your mind is preoccupied with How Do I Sound?, What If They Laugh At My Musical Ideas? With what you learn in Create Crazy Gospel Chords you will free yourself up to enjoy playing music again, because you would have learned the skills and principles to play the way YOU want to play! These goals are ambitious, but I believe you can do it. 2 SET YOUR PERSONAL GOALS Now that I ve introduced my goals for you, I want you to set your own personal goals.
