In this lesson we explore blues and gospel walk-ups and how to add chromatic passing chords to our chord progressions.

We will use the F Blues Form to apply the walk-ups and passing chords but remember that you can apply these principles to any song or hymn that you are working on.

We add the chromatic passing chords in the space immediately before the main chord changes in the blues. We can always add a chromatic passing chord a half step above any chord change to create tension and then a stronger sense of resolution.

Using the same chord change, we can also approach with a chromatic passing chord from a half step below. This relationship can be used for all of the chord changes in the blues as demonstrated in the lesson. Once you are comfortable with the concept of passing chords we can create gospel walk-ups.
