Ballad Style Chim Chiminesque. 2 2
This is a beautiful song, 3 3
and notice how the melody is almost entirely made up of chord tones. 4 4
Let's look at the first three chords. 5 5
[SOUND] D minor, and D minor major 7 [SOUND]. 6 6
So remember the formula for making a major 7th is move the root note one left. 7 7
So there's D minor, D minor major 7, move the root note one left [SOUND]. 8 8
Formula for making a 7 is move the root two left. 9 9
So there's D minor, D minor 7, two left. 10 10
[SOUND] Okay that doesn't mean the left hand changes, 11 11
remember the left hand just sticks to the 1st, the 5th, and the 1st again. 12 12
It doesn't matter whether the right hand is playing 7ths or anything else. 13 13
Okay so 1st, 5th, 1st for D minor. 14 14
1st, 5th, 1st for D minor major 7. 15 15
1st, 5th, 1st, For D minor 7. 16 16
So let’s look at the melody. 17 17
D minor 18 18
[MUSIC], 19 19
you’re going straight up the chord 20 20
[MUSIC]. 21 21
D minor major 7, going up the chord again 22 22
[MUSIC]. 23 23
D minor 7, remember, two left 24 24
[MUSIC]. 25 25
So this is the melody, then you're playing a G backwards and you're going back down. 26 26
[MUSIC] 27 27
And then you're playing G minor. 28 28
So there's G minor. 29 29
So you're playing a G minor backwards but 30 30
you're going in an upward direction from the 3rd. 31 31
[MUSIC], 32 32
and 33 33
[MUSIC]. 34 34
Then into the E is a straight forward 1st, 3rd, 5th, and then A backwards, 35 35
[MUSIC]. 36 36
D minor 37 37
[MUSIC], 38 38
D minor major 7 39 39
[MUSIC], 40 40

[MUSIC], 42 42
G backwards 43 43
[MUSIC]. 44 44
G minor backwards in an upward direction. 45 45
[MUSIC] 46 46
And then the 3rd of the A. 47 47
