10ths Ballad Style I VI IV V Sequence C A minor F and G. 2 2
And you can see what looks like a musical notation. 3 3
[MUSIC], 4 4
2 and 3 and 4. 5 5
1 and 2 and 3 and 4. 6 6
1 and 2 and 3 and 4, and so on. 7 7
And then you can try to improvise with the right hand. 8 8
Now you can just stick to chord tones at the minute. 9 9
So, C [MUSIC]. 10 10
It's no harm just using those chord tones, they're definitely safe notes for 11 11
your improvisation. 12 12
And it's good practice to actually just use chord tones to begin with because then 13 13
you'll have to think about being melodic and structured with the chord tones. 14 14
And then everything else is a bonus. 15 15
So with C, [SOUND] you can start on the third perhaps. 16 16
[MUSIC] 17 17
Down to the A minor. 18 18
[MUSIC] 19 19
All right? 20 20
[MUSIC] 21 21
Okay, something like that. 22 22
And if you don't know where to go next, 23 23
you can automatically go to the F if you want because that's your next chord. 24 24
[MUSIC] 25 25
It's going to work because it's a chord tone. 26 26
And then you may not want to be so obvious the next time, but 27 27
you can go to the root but you can bounce onto it so 28 28
[MUSIC], 29 29
onto the G. 30 30
[MUSIC] 31 31
Back to the third. 32 32
[MUSIC] 33 33
Then you can bounce up, and that'll take you away out of the more structured. 34 34
[MUSIC] 35 35
That's the third of F. 36 36
[MUSIC] 37 37
Something simple, just keep it simple but thing in terms of making melodies for now.
