Ceasy Blues. 2 2
Thelonius Monk / Cruella DeVille Blues. 3 3
So this nice Blues tune will help you incorporate a riff into 4 4
the 12-bar Blues in C. 5 5
So I'll show you the riff first of all. 6 6
[MUSIC] 7 7
Okay, so have a look at the sheet music carefully. 8 8
So you're sliding onto an E, that's where the small note, first of all, 9 9
means you're just hitting it, basically onto the E. 10 10
[SOUND] So E flat onto E, [SOUND] then G, A, B flat, [SOUND]. 11 11
And you bounce your third finger onto that. 12 12
[SOUND] So you're getting ready for the next riff. 13 13
[MUSIC] 14 14
So let's try that with the left hand. 15 15
C seven. 16 16
[MUSIC] 17 17
So let's look at the riff more closely. 18 18
So there's C7, 1, 3, 5, 7. 19 19
[MUSIC] 20 20
And the 6th, okay? 21 21
One, three, five, six, seven. 22 22
Remember when you played the blues before. 23 23
[MUSIC] 24 24
It's basically that but in a rift form on the right hand. 25 25
[MUSIC] 26 26
Then, you transpose that to F, so that's in C. 27 27
[MUSIC] 28 28
In F, it would be. 29 29
And first, third, fifth, sixth, seven looks exactly the same just all moved up. 30 30
Okay. [MUSIC] 31 31
And then in the G, your gonna add a G in as well and remember the white. 32 32
There's a white key rather than a black key at the end. 33 33
[MUSIC] 34 34
Okay? [MUSIC] 35 35
F. 36 36
[MUSIC] 37 37
Now, you're not coming from the root, but you can do that if you find it easier. 38 38
But if you see the root in your mind, so you can see the scene. 39 39
You imagine it, you're not playing, you're just branching onto the third. 40 40
And then you see the F, and then bounce on to the third. 41 41
[MUSIC] 42 42
Then, you see the G and bounce on to the third. 43 43
See the F. 44 44
[MUSIC] 45 45
And you're going to play those two notes together just as a fun thing. 46 46
So that's the E flat and E together. 47 47
[MUSIC] 48 48
Okay, so with the left hand, F7, middle. 49 49
So remember, F middle to the 7th. 50 50
And then, C to F there, bounce on to the 3rd. 51 51
[MUSIC] 52 52
So the left hand's going to actually do two bits. 53 53
[MUSIC] 54 54
And of third and fourth bar. 55 55
It'll just be one, two, thee, four. 56 56
[SOUND] One, two, three, four. 57 57
[SOUND] One, two, three. 58 58
[SOUND] One, two, three. 59 59
So let's try it. 60 60
Just do it slowly. 61 61
So get your fingers ready. 62 62
[MUSIC] 63 63
Okay, so you can just 64 64
[MUSIC]. 65 65
Two, three, four 66 66
[MUSIC]. 67 67
So that's two Fs, back to the C again, and again. 68 68
[SOUND] Two three four. 69 69
Now this is when you G, so 70 70
it's G backwards with this seventh without the fifth. 71 71
And it's C to G here, and then slides on to the third, but you're not playing G. 72 72
[MUSIC] 73 73
And F7, middle. 74 74
[MUSIC]
