"Gospel Riffs God Would Love To Hear"by Andrew Gordon is
a compendium of Contemporary Gospel riffs for piano and keyboard players to
learn the art of Gospel stylings. The book has the piano right and left hands
notated as well as a separate organ part. There are also arrangements of some
traditional Gospel songs including " Amazing Grace" and "When The
Saints Go Marching In" showing how to incorporate the riffs in the book
into these well known Gospel songs. Play in the styles of Ray Charles, Dr.
John, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, and Andre Crouch and see how Blues, Jazz
and other contemporary styles are associated with the Gospel sound.
Customer Comment On This BookGospel Riffs God Would Love To Hear I love Gospel
music, and so far with Andrew Gordon's books I haven't been
disappointed. This book was no exception. And even though I thought
Andrew couldn't have gotten any better in his books he did. Because in
this book, he provides a description of each riff at the beginning of
the book. It explains the theory and style of the riff, measure by
measure. Then the book finishes with two songs (When The Saints Go
Marching In and Amazing Grace) that provide of understanding of how to
create an arrangement from just chords and a melody (using techniques
from the books 20 riffs). Wow, this music instruction at its best for a
very, very reasonable price. Don't waste your money on anything else,
these are the only instructional books on the market that directly
address the organ sound!!!!
