00:00:00,790  -->  00:00:04,600
Blues rhythm number one,
basic triad blues.
2

2

00:00:05,770  -->  00:00:09,020
Going to start off with a very basic
blues rhythm so that you can get
3

3

00:00:09,020  -->  00:00:12,660
used to the chord progression, and how
the left and right hands work together.
4

4

00:00:12,660  -->  00:00:19,290
The most basic blues tune is a combination
of three chords played over 12 bars.
5

5

00:00:19,290  -->  00:00:21,500
You've heard of the 12 bar blues.
6

6

00:00:23,070  -->  00:00:25,260
To begin with, we use the key of C.
7

7

00:00:25,260  -->  00:00:28,360
And the three chords will be C, F and G.
8

8

00:00:28,360  -->  00:00:33,330
That's the major chords
in the C family chords.
9

9

00:00:35,660  -->  00:00:39,350
So to get you started,
we use a really basic left hand rhythm
10

10

00:00:39,350  -->  00:00:41,830
that uses the three notes
of the basic chord.
11

11

00:00:42,860  -->  00:00:46,520
And you're just gonna hold
a C chord in the right hand.
12

12

00:00:46,520  -->  00:00:47,760
So let's find the two C chords.
13

13

00:00:47,760  -->  00:00:51,420
The first one is C chord in
the right hand at middle C,
14

14

00:00:51,420  -->  00:00:56,550
and two octaves left find the other
C chord in your left hand.
15

15

00:00:57,910  -->  00:01:01,070
The three notes are C, E,
G you're going to use.
16

16

00:01:01,070  -->  00:01:03,700
The left hand C chord has a pattern.
17

17

00:01:03,700  -->  00:01:05,429
Is simply going to go up through
the notes and back down.
18

18

00:01:05,429  -->  00:01:10,363

19

19

00:01:10,363  -->  00:01:12,011
And that's just a bass run, basically.
20

20

00:01:12,011  -->  00:01:16,132
And you're going to play the C chord in
the right hand at the start of each bar.
21

21

00:01:16,132  -->  00:01:21,530

22

22

00:01:21,530  -->  00:01:26,402
And now you're going to transpose this
simple pattern to the chords of F and
23

23

00:01:26,402  -->  00:01:29,123
G, and then try the tune on the next page.
24

24

00:01:29,123  -->  00:01:31,306
So find F on the right hand.
25

25

00:01:31,306  -->  00:01:35,288
F, two octaves left
again on the left hand.
26

26

00:01:35,288  -->  00:01:40,489

27

27

00:01:40,489  -->  00:01:41,789
And then one up to G.

29

29

00:01:46,526  -->  00:01:47,849
And then you'll be going back down to C.
