Learn FillIn Chords for Contemporary Christian Music

The video emphasizes the importance of incorporating fillin or passing chords in contemporary Christian music (CCM) to personalize and enhance standard worship songs, moving beyond just the basic chords provided in sheet music.
I Introduce the concept of fillin chords through examples like transitioning from C major to A minor using different inversions and chords, demonstrating how this technique can add musical interest and depth to a song.
I provide practical tips on implementing fillin chords, highlighting the importance of stepwise bass movement and avoiding root position parallels in the right hand to maintain harmonic variety and smooth transitions.
An exercise is presented to practice harmonizing the major scale with chords in all 12 keys, aiming to build familiarity and ease in applying fillin chords within a diatonic context, with a downloadable PDF for reference.
The video concludes with advanced tips for adding more complex chord movements to CCM songs, showcasing how strategic chord substitutions and inversions can create richer musical textures and emotional depth in worship music.
