1

00:00:00,292  -->  00:00:03,501
Okay let's try improvising
on the D minor progression.
2

2

00:00:03,501  -->  00:00:08,765
So look at the bottom page first and
you'll see what notes to avoid basically.
3

3

00:00:08,765  -->  00:00:10,187
So over the D minor.
4

4

00:00:10,187  -->  00:00:11,608
[MUSIC]
5

5

00:00:11,608  -->  00:00:12,156
Just try to stick to.
6

6

00:00:12,156  -->  00:00:14,554
[MUSIC]
7

7

00:00:14,554  -->  00:00:15,672
D, E, F, G and A.
8

8

00:00:15,672  -->  00:00:17,337
Avoid the B
9

9

00:00:17,337  -->  00:00:19,145
[MUSIC]
10

10

00:00:19,145  -->  00:00:20,974
[MUSIC]
See in this tune, it's this chord.
11

11

00:00:20,974  -->  00:00:23,107
And you'll be using B-flat.
12

12

00:00:23,107  -->  00:00:25,444
[MUSIC]
13

13

00:00:25,444  -->  00:00:27,272
Again, [SOUND] no B in there.
14

14

00:00:27,272  -->  00:00:30,300
[SOUND] And if you can try to
get the B-flat in somewhere.
15

15

00:00:30,300  -->  00:00:34,647
[MUSIC]
16

16

00:00:34,647  -->  00:00:36,332
In the C again, avoid this B.
17

17

00:00:36,332  -->  00:00:40,821
[SOUND] Okay, when you play a tune and
you're using certain skills,
18

18

00:00:40,821  -->  00:00:43,579
you'll quickly realize [SOUND] that one or
19

19

00:00:43,579  -->  00:00:48,258
two of the notes [SOUND] just won't
work with particular progression.
20

20

00:00:48,258  -->  00:00:52,909
[SOUND] There's gonna be
a G diminished in there.
21

21

00:00:52,909  -->  00:00:54,595
And you can use that shift to B
[SOUND] we've learned before.
22

22

00:00:54,595  -->  00:01:01,557
[MUSIC]
23

23

00:01:01,557  -->  00:01:05,709
Okay, another thing to make use of is
the thumb in the left hand as part of
24

24

00:01:05,709  -->  00:01:06,760
the percussion.
25

25

00:01:06,760  -->  00:01:10,802
So, rather than just ending it there and
then.
26

26

00:01:10,802  -->  00:01:14,987
[MUSIC]
27

27

00:01:14,987  -->  00:01:19,253
You can bring the thumb in with the right
hand like you're beating on the bongos.
28

28

00:01:19,253  -->  00:01:20,941
Remember like what we were saying before?
29

29

00:01:20,941  -->  00:01:23,561
And that adds to the whole
excitement of it.
30

30

00:01:23,561  -->  00:01:29,148
[MUSIC]
31

31

00:01:29,148  -->  00:01:30,225
Alright.
32

32

00:01:30,225  -->  00:01:31,444
So that it keeps the momentum going.
33

33

00:01:31,444  -->  00:01:34,065
So let's try it.
34

34

00:01:34,065  -->  00:01:40,302
[MUSIC]
35

35

00:01:40,302  -->  00:01:45,299
Back to third of C, don't try too much to
begin with, just stick to a few notes and
36

36

00:01:45,299  -->  00:01:47,150
stick to chord tones, okay?
37

37

00:01:47,150  -->  00:01:52,187
[MUSIC]
38

38

00:01:52,187  -->  00:01:52,797
Back to D.
39

39

00:01:52,797  -->  00:01:56,942
[MUSIC]
40

40

00:01:56,942  -->  00:01:58,811
Then you can so you're in the D.
41

41

00:01:58,811  -->  00:02:00,639
So the D minor middle.
42

42

00:02:00,639  -->  00:02:02,996
[MUSIC]
43

43

00:02:02,996  -->  00:02:03,687
Then you're into the B-flat.
44

44

00:02:03,687  -->  00:02:08,665
[MUSIC]
45

45

00:02:08,665  -->  00:02:10,209
See what you can branch off
from there down to there.
46

46

00:02:10,209  -->  00:02:12,159
And then you can go down to the B.
47

47

00:02:12,159  -->  00:02:15,025
[MUSIC]
48

48

00:02:15,025  -->  00:02:18,539
And the B-flat.
That's the second and the third.
49

49

00:02:18,539  -->  00:02:20,165
You can do it like a cluster chord.
50

50

00:02:20,165  -->  00:02:23,740
[MUSIC]
51

51

00:02:23,740  -->  00:02:24,349
Back to the third of C.
52

52

00:02:24,349  -->  00:02:26,828
[MUSIC]
53

53

00:02:26,828  -->  00:02:27,742
Latch on to the D-minor.
54

54

00:02:27,742  -->  00:02:31,155
[MUSIC]
55

55

00:02:31,155  -->  00:02:33,167
And you can pause for
that part of the bar.
56

56

00:02:33,167  -->  00:02:34,467
And then.
57

57

00:02:34,467  -->  00:02:38,735
[MUSIC]
58

58

00:02:38,735  -->  00:02:41,883
That was just C middle, okay?
59

59

00:02:41,883  -->  00:02:43,732
You're using the chord tones and
you're branching on to the.
60

60

00:02:43,732  -->  00:02:49,034
[MUSIC].
61

61

00:02:49,034  -->  00:02:49,542
Like the D minor.
62

62

00:02:49,542  -->  00:02:54,459
[MUSIC]
63

63

00:02:54,459  -->  00:02:56,552
You can repeat certain notes,
that gives another variety.
64

64

00:02:56,552  -->  00:02:58,117
[MUSIC]
65

65

00:02:58,117  -->  00:02:58,705
Okay down to the B flat.
66

66

00:02:58,705  -->  00:03:05,330
[MUSIC]
67

67

00:03:05,330  -->  00:03:07,382
Now this is the A in the left hand.
68

68

00:03:07,382  -->  00:03:17,382
