00:00:00,440  -->  00:00:06,356
Ballad style, structured approach,
exercise two, adding right hand notes.
2

2

00:00:06,356  -->  00:00:09,560
So far, you've learned
the basic ballad style pattern.
3

3

00:00:09,560  -->  00:00:12,696
[MUSIC]
4

4

00:00:12,696  -->  00:00:16,109
You've played it through
a chord progression.
5

5

00:00:16,109  -->  00:00:20,397
In that key,
you've learned the pentatonic scale, and
6

6

00:00:20,397  -->  00:00:23,626
you've used that over all of your chords.
7

7

00:00:23,626  -->  00:00:33,626
[MUSIC]
8

8

00:00:36,256  -->  00:00:39,552
And so on.
Now, if you did that all the time, your
9

9

00:00:39,552  -->  00:00:46,060
playing could become very repetitive and
quite monotonous, tuneful but repetitive.
10

10

00:00:46,060  -->  00:00:51,270
So what you're wanting to do is move away
from just playing one scale over the chord
11

11

00:00:51,270  -->  00:00:54,630
changes and find various scales and
patterns for each chord change, and
12

12

00:00:54,630  -->  00:00:56,280
that makes it much more interesting.
13

13

00:00:57,480  -->  00:01:02,011
It's not easy to begin with, so let's just
add a few notes on top of each chord,
14

14

00:01:02,011  -->  00:01:06,493
and you'll see how different that is
than just playing the pentatonic scale.
15

15

00:01:06,493  -->  00:01:09,758
So play the following sequence of notes,
again,
16

16

00:01:09,758  -->  00:01:14,105
based on the chord of C, one note at
a time from the low C up to the E and
17

17

00:01:14,105  -->  00:01:17,630
back down to the G, so
there's eight notes in total.
18

18

00:01:17,630  -->  00:01:19,023
Follow the keyboard diagram.
19

19

00:01:19,023  -->  00:01:24,478
So again, it's the basic pattern
you've learned, root, fifth, first.
20

20

00:01:24,478  -->  00:01:28,269
And now you're going to add on
just two notes above the first.
21

21

00:01:28,269  -->  00:01:29,714
So the second and the third.
22

22

00:01:29,714  -->  00:01:31,862
And then back down.
23

23

00:01:31,862  -->  00:01:39,056
[MUSIC]
24

24

00:01:39,056  -->  00:01:40,831
So that's your new pattern,
25

25

00:01:40,831  -->  00:01:45,734
and you can see that those two notes are
added on to this particular chord pattern.
26

26

00:01:45,734  -->  00:01:50,396
So there's your root, you're adding
on the second note to the right.
27

27

00:01:50,396  -->  00:01:52,991
So every time you change chords,
you're going to do exactly the same.
28

28

00:01:52,991  -->  00:01:56,611
So when you change to A minor,
root, fifth, first,
29

29

00:01:56,611  -->  00:02:00,403
you're going to add the second and
third of that chord.
30

30

00:02:00,403  -->  00:02:05,232
[MUSIC]
31

31

00:02:05,232  -->  00:02:06,533
You change to F, and
you're gonna do the same.
32

32

00:02:06,533  -->  00:02:11,763
[MUSIC]
33

33

00:02:11,763  -->  00:02:16,221
Up to G.
[MUSIC]
34

34

00:02:16,221  -->  00:02:17,718
Back to C.
35

35

00:02:17,718  -->  00:02:21,310
Okay, so you can follow the music
notation on the next page.
36

36

00:02:21,310  -->  00:02:26,590
It's a good exercise for looking at
music notation as shifts and patterns.
37

37

00:02:28,800  -->  00:02:31,590
Remember to hold the paddle down for
the duration of one bar left,
38

38

00:02:31,590  -->  00:02:34,150
and then put it back down for
the next bar and so on.
39

39

00:02:34,150  -->  00:02:39,578
And within this song, instead of playing
everything very monotonous level.

41

41

00:02:42,828  -->  00:02:44,192
Okay, you can change the lightness.

[MUSIC]
43

43

00:02:49,302  -->  00:02:53,772
And hear that slight change up and
down, it gives it a bit of extra depth.
44

44

00:02:53,772  -->  00:02:54,811
Down to the A minor.
