1 1 00:00:00,380 --> 00:00:02,640 Oom Pah rhythm, practice progressions. 2 2 00:00:04,150 --> 00:00:07,270 Before I take you through the progressions, I'll explain how they work. 3 3 00:00:08,370 --> 00:00:11,630 The first page is written the way some song books have it, so 4 4 00:00:11,630 --> 00:00:15,370 there's just a melody line with chord symbols above the words. 5 5 00:00:17,270 --> 00:00:19,393 In this instance, you're playing Oom Pah. 6 6 00:00:19,393 --> 00:00:19,894 So it's- 7 7 00:00:19,894 --> 00:00:22,377 [MUSIC] 8 8 00:00:22,377 --> 00:00:23,921 So there'll be four beats per bar. 9 9 00:00:23,921 --> 00:00:26,092 One, two, three, four. 10 10 00:00:26,092 --> 00:00:30,700 And each C symbol that you see, denotes four beats. 11 11 00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:34,615 So oh when the saints, two, three, four. 12 12 00:00:34,615 --> 00:00:37,713 The next C indicates another four beats. 13 13 00:00:37,713 --> 00:00:38,321 [MUSIC] 14 14 00:00:38,321 --> 00:00:39,599 Go marching. 15 15 00:00:39,599 --> 00:00:41,862 The next C indicated another four beats. 16 16 00:00:41,862 --> 00:00:43,743 [MUSIC] 17 17 00:00:43,743 --> 00:00:45,522 Next C indicates another four beats. 18 18 00:00:45,522 --> 00:00:46,937 [MUSIC] 19 19 00:00:46,937 --> 00:00:52,121 Oh when the, and again, saints three, four, march, three, 20 20 00:00:52,121 --> 00:00:57,315 four and G one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four. 21 21 00:00:57,315 --> 00:01:02,223 One two three four, one two three four, one two three four, 22 22 00:01:02,223 --> 00:01:07,131 one two three four, one two three four, one two three four, 23 23 00:01:07,131 --> 00:01:10,421 one two three four, one two three four. 24 24 00:01:10,421 --> 00:01:11,709 So it's very repetitive but 25 25 00:01:11,709 --> 00:01:14,560 at this stage because you're just beginning with the chords. 26 26 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,180 It's a good song to just get used to doing Oom Pah and changing song chords. 27 27 00:01:19,180 --> 00:01:22,755 So when you add in the left hand, so, actually, 28 28 00:01:22,755 --> 00:01:27,129 the song you kind of start singing before the beat comes in. 29 29 00:01:27,129 --> 00:01:28,473 Oh when the saints- 30 30 00:01:28,473 --> 00:01:38,473 [MUSIC] 31 31 00:01:53,516 --> 00:01:57,345 In the next couple of books, you'll learn about inversions, which actually makes it 32 32 00:01:57,345 --> 00:02:00,191 easier to play, cuz the chords won't be jumping so much about. 33 33 00:02:00,191 --> 00:02:01,758 But that's for the next book. 34 34 00:02:01,758 --> 00:02:04,012 So the next three songs are pretty much the same. 35 35 00:02:04,012 --> 00:02:05,638 If you know the song. 36 36 00:02:05,638 --> 00:02:15,638 [MUSIC] 37 37 00:02:18,412 --> 00:02:19,328 And so on. 38 38 00:02:19,328 --> 00:02:20,826 Froggie Went A Courtin'. 39 39 00:02:20,826 --> 00:02:26,829 [MUSIC] 40 40 00:02:26,829 --> 00:02:29,651 So remember, every C denotes four beats. 41 41 00:02:29,651 --> 00:02:30,720 [MUSIC] 42 42 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,619 One two three four, one two three four, one two three four, one two three four. 43 43 00:02:34,619 --> 00:02:37,615 [MUSIC] 44 44 00:02:37,615 --> 00:02:40,967 One two three four, one two three four, one two three four, one two three four, 45 45 00:02:40,967 --> 00:02:44,319 one two three four, one two three four, one two three four, one two three four, 46 46 00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:45,430 one two three four, one. 47 47 00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:47,680 And Jingle Bells, again, very repetitive chords, but 48 48 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,040 at this stage, that's a good thing. 49 49 00:02:56,872 --> 00:02:58,799 So Jingle Bells. 50 50 00:02:58,799 --> 00:03:00,490 [MUSIC] 51 51 00:03:00,490 --> 00:03:02,464 So again, one, two, three, four. 52 52 00:03:02,464 --> 00:03:12,464 [MUSIC] 53 53 00:03:25,367 --> 00:03:30,682 So the next part where's it at progression in the style of Song Song Blue, 54 54 00:03:30,682 --> 00:03:31,810 Neil Diamond. 55 55 00:03:31,810 --> 00:03:36,996 These boxes, the way they're written out is denote one bar per box, 56 56 00:03:36,996 --> 00:03:39,348 so that's four beats per box. 57 57 00:03:39,348 --> 00:03:42,761 Unless otherwise stated. 58 58 00:03:42,761 --> 00:03:45,163 So in this instance, you're gonna play Oom Pah again. 59 59 00:03:45,163 --> 00:03:50,052 So it's two bars of C, four bars of G, and two bars of C. 60 60 00:03:50,052 --> 00:03:50,643 [MUSIC] 61 61 00:03:50,643 --> 00:03:54,764 So one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four. 62 62 00:03:54,764 --> 00:03:58,885 One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four. 63 63 00:03:58,885 --> 00:03:59,467 And again. 64 64 00:03:59,467 --> 00:04:04,981 One two three four, one two three four, one two three four, 65 65 00:04:04,981 --> 00:04:08,672 one two three four, one two three four. 66 66 00:04:08,672 --> 00:04:12,362 So same again in the style of King of the Road. 67 67 00:04:12,362 --> 00:04:16,124 One two three four, one two three four. 68 68 00:04:16,124 --> 00:04:26,700 [MUSIC] 69 69 00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:29,416 One two three four. 70 70 00:04:29,416 --> 00:04:33,005 And the last on in the style of In The Summertime. 71 71 00:04:33,005 --> 00:04:43,005 [MUSIC] 72 72 00:04:51,364 --> 00:04:54,342 And you can see you can move up and down, you don't have to play the F up there 73 73 00:04:54,342 --> 00:04:56,350 the first time, second time down below middle C. 74 74 00:04:56,350 --> 00:05:00,060 It just depends on what you feel will sound good at that point.
