Rhythm number 3, Oom Pah. 2 2
It's called Oom Pah because that's how it sounds. 3 3
Oom Pah. Oom Pah. 4 4
Practice playing a right-hand C chord at a steady four beats per bar. 5 5
One, two, three, four, one, two, 6 6
three, four, one, two, three, four. 7 7
You're going to add a two note pattern in the left hand. 8 8
[MUSIC] 9 9
The left-hand pattern uses two of the notes that are in the right-hand chord. 10 10
So the right-hand chord plays C, E, and G. 11 11
The left hand is going to use C and G but in reverse. 12 12
C down to G. 13 13
Be careful not to play too many beats in the left hand. 14 14
Each left-hand note is held for two right-hand beats. 15 15
One, two, three, four. 16 16
One, two, three, four, one, two three, four. 17 17
One, two, three, four. 18 18
Now try the practice progression on the next page. 19 19
You're going to transpose this rhythm to the four chords you learned for 20 20
the progression for Blue Moon. 21 21
C, A minor, F, and G. 22 22
Each pattern will feel exactly the same. 23 23
So C. 24 24
[MUSIC] 25 25
And you're going to move everything down two notes to A minor. 26 26
[MUSIC] 27 27
And then you're going to move everything down two notes again to F. 28 28
[MUSIC] 29 29
If I move everything up one note to G. 30 30
[MUSIC] 31 31
Let's try that. 32 32
[MUSIC] 33 33
Now when you're playing this particular rhythm, you can try to add your own touch 34 34
to it, because sometimes when you're playing it, it can be very strict. 35 35
[MUSIC] 36 36
It can be slightly boring, so try to change the rhythm slightly, 37 37
just add a little touch in, so maybe snap the left hand. 38 38
[MUSIC] 39 39
Or you could come in a little bit early on the left hand. 40 40
[MUSIC] 41 41
And you'll learn these little extra touches later on.
