Okay let's try improvising on the D minor progression. 2 2
So look at the bottom page first and you'll see what notes to avoid basically. 3 3
So over the D minor. 4 4
[MUSIC] 5 5
Just try to stick to. 6 6
[MUSIC] 7 7
D, E, F, G and A. 8 8
Avoid the B 9 9
[MUSIC] 10 10
[MUSIC] See in this tune, it's this chord. 11 11
And you'll be using B-flat. 12 12
[MUSIC] 13 13
Again, [SOUND] no B in there. 14 14
[SOUND] And if you can try to get the B-flat in somewhere. 15 15
[MUSIC] 16 16
In the C again, avoid this B. 17 17
[SOUND] Okay, when you play a tune and you're using certain skills, 18 18
you'll quickly realize [SOUND] that one or 19 19
two of the notes [SOUND] just won't work with particular progression. 20 20
[SOUND] There's gonna be a G diminished in there. 21 21
And you can use that shift to B [SOUND] we've learned before. 22 22
[MUSIC] 23 23
Okay, another thing to make use of is the thumb in the left hand as part of 24 24
the percussion. 25 25
So, rather than just ending it there and then. 26 26
[MUSIC] 27 27
You can bring the thumb in with the right hand like you're beating on the bongos. 28 28
Remember like what we were saying before? 29 29
And that adds to the whole excitement of it. 30 30
[MUSIC] 31 31
Alright. 32 32
So that it keeps the momentum going. 33 33
So let's try it. 34 34
[MUSIC] 35 35
Back to third of C, don't try too much to begin with, just stick to a few notes and 36 36
stick to chord tones, okay? 37 37
[MUSIC] 38 38
Back to D. 39 39
[MUSIC] 40 40
Then you can so you're in the D. 41 41
So the D minor middle. 42 42
[MUSIC] 43 43
Then you're into the B-flat. 44 44
[MUSIC] 45 45
See what you can branch off from there down to there. 46 46
And then you can go down to the B. 47 47
[MUSIC] 48 48
And the B-flat. That's the second and the third. 49 49
You can do it like a cluster chord. 50 50
[MUSIC] 51 51
Back to the third of C. 52 52
[MUSIC] 53 53
Latch on to the D-minor. 54 54
[MUSIC] 55 55
And you can pause for that part of the bar. 56 56
And then. 57 57
[MUSIC] 58 58
That was just C middle, okay? 59 59
You're using the chord tones and you're branching on to the. 60 60
[MUSIC]. 61 61
Like the D minor. 62 62
[MUSIC] 63 63
You can repeat certain notes, that gives another variety. 64 64
[MUSIC] 65 65
Okay down to the B flat. 66 66
[MUSIC] 67 67
Now this is the A in the left hand. 68 68
[MUSIC]
