This isn&#8217;t just a churchy progression. Its technical name is the &#8220;Plagal&#8221; cadence but since it uses the same chords as &#8220;Amen&#8221; (what you would hear a church sing at the end of a hymn or scripture), it gets the nickname &#8220;Amen&#8221; cadence.<\/p>\n<p>There are other cadences like the: <\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<strong>Authentic cadence<\/strong> (when the 5-chord resolves to the 1-chord).<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<strong>Half cadence<\/strong> (any cadence ending on the 5-chord&#8230; sounds incomplete &#8212; usually in the middle of most songs, which leads to repeating the verse&#8230; which leads to a real ending).<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<strong>Deceptive cadence<\/strong> (when the 5-chord resolves to any other degree EXCEPT for the 1-chord &#8212; usually it goes to the 6-chord). Eventually, the song will end but this is a way to keep a song going at the end. And at some point, the song will end usually with a typical authentic cadence (5 to 1).<\/p>\n<h2>Amen Cadence Explored<\/h2>\n<p>But today, we&#8217;re talking about the Amen cadence, which uses the 4-chord to the <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1-chord<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>.<\/p>\n<p>The most basic Amen cadence in C major is:<\/p>\n<p>F major >>> C major<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,A,C&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,G,C&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>A Better Amen Cadence Option<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To create an even stronger progression, you can employ the suspended chord we recently covered in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/a-quick-easy-way-to-play-suspended-chords\">this lesson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Fsus2<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,G,C&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>C major<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,G,C&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>Another option is to keep your left-hand bass on C. This makes the chord a <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Csus4.<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>.<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,F,G,C&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>And just move one note (F to E) to get to your C major chord:<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,E,G,C&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><br https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/amen-cadence-tips\/><\/p>\n<p>Another point to make is sus4 and sus2 chords are inversions of each other.<\/p>\n<p>For example, this is a Csus4:<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,F,G&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>However, if you simply take the C off the bottom and move to the top, you get <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fsus2<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>:<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,G,C&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>Where can you apply the Amen cadence?<\/p>\n<p>Usually at the end of songs.<\/p>\n<p>The song &#8220;Hallelujah&#8221; is a perfect example.
