First Post

 Hey there, the purpose of this blog is to provide better chords for songs (of any genre, but mainly christian hymns) which I felt the original chords were not "upto the mark" at all. Of course, I don't believe in the "original is always better" mindset, I take the good parts and upgrade it.
Always remember, when I put chords like "Eb/G", it is absolutely compulsory to play the G as a very low note (or even as 2 G bass notes as I do in the left hand) and then the rest of the chord with the right hand. Failing to do so, I won't guarantee the chords will sound that good. Personally, I got used to playing only the bass notes of the chords as octaves in left hand, and both the tune and the chords in the right. (Takes practice for the right hand indeed to multitask)

Hope you like it! Do share the blog with others.
If you have any requests, do leave a comment. If I could do so at that time, I would give chords for that too.

O Holy Night

This is the opening hymn of the church I go to, so I decided not to leave it out and posted this soon. I agree it doesn't require too many chord modifications at all, but it's very commonly played in our church, so here it is. Note: Follow guidelines mentioned in my very first post if you want the chords to sound good. Ideal for Pipe/Digital/Theatre Organs Any Doubts (or if you played some of them wrong and you misunderstood the chords as being "bad"), please experiment with different inversions (with the bass note as constant), or else comment under the post for clarifications.

Abide With Me

This is a very common song (especially for closing), so I decided not to leave it out and posted this soon. I agree it doesn't require too many chord modifications at all, but this is mainly for last verse, like you could slightly change some chords in each verse, and (if you're playing an organ) in the last verse, use a lot of stops/voices and use "beautiful but dissonant" chords like diminished 7ths, 7ths with flat 5, 6ths, etc. Note: Follow guidelines mentioned in my very first post if you want the chords to sound good. The symbol "->" denotes a bass run from the initial chord's bass note to the next chord's bass note (where the notes in the run is in scale)           In this case it was used for Fm to Bb/D (next line) in the 3rd line here, which means bass notes F,            Eb (passing note), then D. That's all. This is just to explain my "->" notation. Ideal for Pipe/Digital/Theatre Organs Any Doubts (or if you played some

This is a well known beautiful hymn, whose arrangement is already "quite there" in terms of the chords (which is rare), more than almost any hymn, so leaving not much to do, I'm just going to just specify certian small details that's all. But in this case, I managed to find a recording of this played by me in the church's organ! (reason why I'm posting this one now) It was never meant to be recorded, so I had to edit all the major disturbances , and equalise the audio to my liking, but ofc be warned that disturbances and conversation noises are still here and there in the audio, but it's still worth listening! Note: Follow guidelines mentioned in my very first post if you want the chords to sound good.
