2

00:00:30,462  -->  00:00:31,987
The amazing broken chord ballad.
3

3

00:00:31,987  -->  00:00:34,648
First of all, what is a broken chord?
4

4

00:00:34,648  -->  00:00:38,935
Think about the chord of C,
that you already know in your right hand.
5

5

00:00:38,935  -->  00:00:43,793
[SOUND] Instead of playing the three
notes at the same time play them one
6

6

00:00:43,793  -->  00:00:45,904
at a time starting with the C.
7

7

00:00:45,904  -->  00:00:50,291
[SOUND] So you've broken
the chord up into three notes.
8

8

00:00:50,291  -->  00:00:51,938
Try it with your left hand.
9

9

00:00:51,938  -->  00:00:53,685
[SOUND] C.
10

10

00:00:53,685  -->  00:00:58,094
[MUSIC]
11

11

00:00:58,094  -->  00:01:02,530
But you're going to make a sweeping
melody line using broken chords.
12

12

00:01:02,530  -->  00:01:05,330
So first of all play a single C note,
13

13

00:01:05,330  -->  00:01:09,160
two octaves to the left of
middle C in your left hand.
14

14

00:01:09,160  -->  00:01:12,880
So that's one octave, two octaves.
15

15

00:01:12,880  -->  00:01:14,614
You're gonna play that C note [SOUND].
16

16

00:01:14,614  -->  00:01:18,067
Then your gonna play a broken C
chord one octave up from that note.
17

17

00:01:18,067  -->  00:01:20,343
That's one octave up.
18

18

00:01:20,343  -->  00:01:24,163
In your right hand [SOUND].
19

19

00:01:24,163  -->  00:01:29,107
Then you're going to lift your left
hand over your right hand, and
20

20

00:01:29,107  -->  00:01:34,340
play the next broken C chord another
octave up in your left hand [SOUND].
21

21

00:01:34,340  -->  00:01:39,260
And you're going to bring this
hand underneath and finally play
22

22

00:01:39,260  -->  00:01:44,193
a last broken chord one octave up
again in your right hand [SOUND].
23

23

00:01:44,193  -->  00:01:47,932
And you're going to keep the sustain
pedal down throughout the whole sequence.
24

24

00:01:47,932  -->  00:01:51,506
So right hand sustain pedal on,
lower C note.
25

25

00:01:51,506  -->  00:01:58,659
[MUSIC]
26

26

00:01:58,659  -->  00:02:04,835
And again.
[MUSIC]
27

27

00:02:04,835  -->  00:02:06,197
And you get a nice ringing tone.
28

28

00:02:06,197  -->  00:02:11,098
Now, let's see if you can play
the same pattern, but this time,
29

29

00:02:11,098  -->  00:02:12,536
use the chord of F.
30

30

00:02:12,536  -->  00:02:17,679
So you start with the F note,
one octave up,
31

31

00:02:17,679  -->  00:02:21,434
you play a broken F chord [SOUND].
32

32

00:02:21,434  -->  00:02:26,228
Next broken F chord, lift your hand
over to your left hand [SOUND].
33

33

00:02:26,228  -->  00:02:29,683
And under to the next F [SOUND].
34

34

00:02:29,683  -->  00:02:35,453
So F [SOUND].
35

35

00:02:35,453  -->  00:02:36,690
Okay, get the idea?
36

36

00:02:36,690  -->  00:02:41,689
Now to play the entire tune use
the pattern on the page with the following
37

37

00:02:41,689  -->  00:02:42,949
chord sequence.
38

38

00:02:42,949  -->  00:02:44,471
>> So you start with C,
39

39

00:02:44,471  -->  00:02:48,780
[MUSIC]
40

40

00:02:48,780  -->  00:02:52,842
F,

41

41

00:02:52,842  -->  00:02:53,452
B diminished.

42

00:02:53,452  -->  00:02:57,190

43

43

00:02:57,190  -->  00:03:01,375
E minor.

44

44

00:03:01,375  -->  00:03:04,810
A minor.

45

45

00:03:04,810  -->  00:03:08,914
D minor.

46

46

00:03:08,914  -->  00:03:12,490
G.
[MUSIC]
47

47

00:03:12,490  -->  00:03:16,147
C.
[MUSIC]
48

48

00:03:16,147  -->  00:03:17,527
And end on another C.
49

49

00:03:17,527  -->  00:03:20,474
So let's play it all the way through.
