Frere Jacques Jazz, improvising on the melody line. 2 2
If you started with C Major seven to D minor seven. 3 3
Very Plain. 4 4
[MUSIC] 5 5
And you jazzed up the left hand, snap hold. 6 6
Snap hold, and 7 7
hopefully that automatically gives some life to your right hand. 8 8
[MUSIC] 9 9
So there is other ways that you can jazz up that right hand melody. 10 10
And we're going to look at seven ideas on the pitch. 11 11
So the first is just the actual four notes, but give it that rhythm. 12 12
[MUSIC] 13 13
Okay, so rather than. 14 14
[MUSIC] 15 15
So you can add just a jazzy rhythm and you don't have to do anything else. 16 16
Number two, you can add passing chromatic notes. 17 17
Chromatic note is a notes that are a half tone apart. 18 18
So chromatic notes to C are a half tone down or a half town up. 19 19
So the notes of the melody are. 20 20
[MUSIC] 21 21
So you can chromatically up to the D, chromatically up to the E and back again. 22 22
[MUSIC] 23 23
Number three, you can bunch off a chord tone. 24 24
So you'll very often hear people when they're singing jazz. 25 25
[MUSIC]. 26 26
Number four, you can just use scale notes of the key you are in. 27 27
So, you're in C major. 28 28
[MUSIC] 29 29
So, the melody is, you gotta hear that sound in your improvisation. 30 30
[MUSIC] 31 31
You can still hear it. 32 32
Number five, use notes from the Blues Scale. 33 33
If you remember the Blues Scale. 34 34
So, specially the third, the flattened third of the scale. 35 35
[MUSIC] 36 36
So that's the flat [INAUDIBLE]. 37 37
[MUSIC] 38 38
Number six, just see how far removed you can get. 39 39
