00:00:03,368  -->  00:00:06,456
Left hand 7th chords.

3

00:00:06,456  -->  00:00:09,206
Up to now, you've been playing,
first of all,
4

4

00:00:09,206  -->  00:00:11,698
right hand chords with
left hand bass note.

00:00:11,698  -->  00:00:13,628
[MUSIC]
6

6

00:00:13,628  -->  00:00:14,360
Then, we're adding sevenths.

00:00:14,360  -->  00:00:17,489
[MUSIC]
8

8

00:00:17,489  -->  00:00:20,820
It's more of a pop style,
when you're playing a ballad style.
9

9

00:00:20,820  -->  00:00:25,351
[MUSIC]
10

10

00:00:25,351  -->  00:00:26,387
Okay?
11

11

00:00:26,387  -->  00:00:28,338
You've got some blues voicings.
12

12

00:00:28,338  -->  00:00:32,726
[MUSIC]
13

13

00:00:32,726  -->  00:00:35,977
So, none of those sound
particularly jazzy.
14

14

00:00:35,977  -->  00:00:40,862
You get more of a jazz sound if you start
to play full four note seventh chords in
15

15

00:00:40,862  -->  00:00:41,849
the left hand.
16

16

00:00:41,849  -->  00:00:49,935
[MUSIC]
17

17

00:00:49,935  -->  00:00:52,535
Okay, sounds a bit more jazzy.
18

18

00:00:52,535  -->  00:00:57,193
Now, playing seventh chords in your left
hand is different from how you learned to
19

19

00:00:57,193  -->  00:00:58,895
form them in your right hand.
20

20

00:00:58,895  -->  00:01:01,844
So, to form seventh chords
in your right hand,
21

21

00:01:01,844  -->  00:01:06,066
you learn to move your thumb from
the root note to the seventh chord.
22

22

00:01:06,066  -->  00:01:07,265
So, for instance,
23

23

00:01:07,265  -->  00:01:08,058
[MUSIC].
24

24

00:01:08,058  -->  00:01:10,069
You're in C major.
25

25

00:01:10,069  -->  00:01:12,281
Because you were playing
the root in the left hand anyway,
26

26

00:01:12,281  -->  00:01:14,051
you didn't need it in
the right hand anymore.
27

27

00:01:14,051  -->  00:01:18,099
So you move from the root down to
the either major seventh, one left, or
28

28

00:01:18,099  -->  00:01:20,065
the seventh, which was two left.
29

29

00:01:20,065  -->  00:01:21,284
[MUSIC]
30

30

00:01:21,284  -->  00:01:26,485
C, C major seventh, C7.
31

31

00:01:26,485  -->  00:01:30,435
But to form seventh chords
in your left hand for
32

32

00:01:30,435  -->  00:01:33,474
use with these show tune melodies,
33

33

00:01:33,474  -->  00:01:38,870
the seventh note is simply added
to the basic three note chord.
34

34

00:01:38,870  -->  00:01:40,890
So, there's your three note chord.
35

35

00:01:40,890  -->  00:01:42,688
C, E, G, first, third, fifth.
36

36

00:01:42,688  -->  00:01:43,907
And you add the 7th.
37

37

00:01:43,907  -->  00:01:48,681
So when you're adding the 7th in
the right hand, major 7th is one left.
38

38

00:01:48,681  -->  00:01:50,246
So it's still one left of the root.
39

39

00:01:50,246  -->  00:01:50,957
[MUSIC]
40

40

00:01:50,957  -->  00:01:52,501
So that's C major 7.
41

41

00:01:52,501  -->  00:01:54,634
[MUSIC]
42

42

00:01:54,634  -->  00:01:56,930
When you added C7 in the right hand,
43

43

00:01:56,930  -->  00:01:57,722
[MUSIC],
44

44

00:01:57,722  -->  00:02:00,262
you moved from the root two left.
45

45

00:02:00,262  -->  00:02:02,192
So that's still the seven.
46

46

00:02:02,192  -->  00:02:10,522
Okay?
So that's C7.
47

47

00:02:10,522  -->  00:02:13,895
In the next page, you're going to
learn is C family seventh chords.
48

48

00:02:13,895  -->  00:02:17,775
Remember from book one,
you learned the C family basics triads.
49

49

00:02:17,775  -->  00:02:24,764
[SOUND] C, D minor, E minor, F, G,
A minor, B diminished, back to C.
50

50

00:02:24,764  -->  00:02:27,740
Do you remember how you learned them?
51

51

00:02:27,740  -->  00:02:28,380
Three majors, C F G.
52

52

00:02:28,380  -->  00:02:29,033
Three minors.
53

53

00:02:29,033  -->  00:02:32,414
[SOUND] D minor, E minor, A minor.
54

54

00:02:32,414  -->  00:02:37,858
And one diminished chord, the baby chord,
remember built on the last group of scale.
55

55

00:02:37,858  -->  00:02:40,784
[SOUND] B diminished.
56

56

00:02:40,784  -->  00:02:44,993
[SOUND] Okay, so it’s going to look
very similar in the left hand with just
57

57

00:02:44,993  -->  00:02:48,179
the added note,
from the added seventh on each chord.
58

58

00:02:48,179  -->  00:02:48,768
So
59

59

00:02:48,768  -->  00:02:53,279
[MUSIC].
60

60

00:02:53,279  -->  00:02:57,772
So everything’s a white chord,
every chord looks exactly the same,
61

61

00:02:57,772  -->  00:03:00,064
just moved on to a particular note.
62

62

00:03:00,064  -->  00:03:03,539
[MUSIC]
63

63

00:03:03,539  -->  00:03:05,631
And you can memorize them the same again.
64

64

00:03:05,631  -->  00:03:06,871
So there's three majors.
65

65

00:03:06,871  -->  00:03:11,723
C major 7, [SOUND] F major 7, [SOUND] G 7,
[SOUND] D minor 7, [SOUND] E minor 7,
66

66

00:03:11,723  -->  00:03:12,257
[SOUND].
67

67

00:03:12,257  -->  00:03:13,334
So three minors.
68

68

00:03:13,334  -->  00:03:14,939
A minor 7, [SOUND] and B diminished.
69

69

00:03:14,939  -->  00:03:20,445
[SOUND] And technically that's
called a B half diminished 7.
70

70

00:03:20,445  -->  00:03:21,969
Don't worry about that for now.
71

71

00:03:21,969  -->  00:03:23,675
You can work that out later.
72

72

00:03:23,675  -->  00:03:25,849
Just call up diminished 7 for now.
73

73

00:03:25,849  -->  00:03:27,861
So B diminished [SOUND] and
it's got a 7th on it.
74

74

00:03:27,861  -->  00:03:29,791
[MUSIC]
75

75

00:03:29,791  -->  00:03:32,086
Back to C major 7.
76

76

00:03:32,086  -->  00:03:34,850
So practice those over and
over lock your fingers.
77
