Here is a gospel style chord progression in the key of E that is based on a standard eight bar blues. It has a majestic moment in bars three and four with the Asus2 and A#dim chords. The last four bars are back-to-back I VI II V’s with two chords per measure.
Lay it down and testify with the blues…Have mercy!

Gospel Style Chords:
The numbers following the chord letter are where you fret your fingers on the string. If there is a “0” then the string is open, if there is an “x” then no note is played.
Enjoy, and always keep your ears open!
