He Lives - (Hymn) Rehrmonized with Soul Chords

He Lives - (Hymn) Rehrmonized with Soul Chords

In this video, I break down how to reharmonize the Easter hymn "He Lives" using rich soul and gospel chord substitutions, including minor 11s, tritone substitutions, altered dominants, suspensions, and extended voicings. I play in the key of B♭ and explain every 6251 progression, modal interchange, and melodic reharmonization in detail.
