1

00:00:00,430  -->  00:00:04,460
Frere Jacques Jazz,
improvising on the melody line.
2

2

00:00:04,460  -->  00:00:08,776
If you started with C Major
seven to D minor seven.
3

3

00:00:08,776  -->  00:00:10,089
Very Plain.
4

4

00:00:10,089  -->  00:00:16,126
[MUSIC]
5

5

00:00:16,126  -->  00:00:19,260
And you jazzed up the left hand,
snap hold.
6

6

00:00:19,260  -->  00:00:20,316
Snap hold, and
7

7

00:00:20,316  -->  00:00:24,873
hopefully that automatically gives
some life to your right hand.
8

8

00:00:24,873  -->  00:00:31,514
[MUSIC]
9

9

00:00:31,514  -->  00:00:35,903
So there is other ways that you can
jazz up that right hand melody.
10

10

00:00:35,903  -->  00:00:39,270
And we're going to look at
seven ideas on the pitch.
11

11

00:00:39,270  -->  00:00:43,626
So the first is just the actual four
notes, but give it that rhythm.
12

12

00:00:43,626  -->  00:00:50,070
[MUSIC]
13

13

00:00:50,070  -->  00:00:51,545
Okay, so rather than.
14

14

00:00:51,545  -->  00:00:53,948
[MUSIC]
15

15

00:00:53,948  -->  00:00:58,240
So you can add just a jazzy rhythm and
you don't have to do anything else.
16

16

00:01:00,160  -->  00:01:03,182
Number two,
you can add passing chromatic notes.
17

17

00:01:03,182  -->  00:01:07,338
Chromatic note is a notes
that are a half tone apart.
18

18

00:01:07,338  -->  00:01:13,832
So chromatic notes to C are a half
tone down or a half town up.
19

19

00:01:13,832  -->  00:01:15,833
So the notes of the melody are.
20

20

00:01:15,833  -->  00:01:17,877
[MUSIC]
21

21

00:01:17,877  -->  00:01:21,584
So you can chromatically up to the D,
chromatically up to the E and back again.
22

22

00:01:21,584  -->  00:01:31,584
[MUSIC]
23

23

00:01:35,622  -->  00:01:38,456
Number three,
you can bunch off a chord tone.
24

24

00:01:38,456  -->  00:01:41,357
So you'll very often hear people
when they're singing jazz.
25

25

00:01:41,357  -->  00:01:51,357
[MUSIC].
26

26

00:01:58,495  -->  00:02:01,734
Number four, you can just use
scale notes of the key you are in.
27

27

00:02:01,734  -->  00:02:02,981
So, you're in C major.
28

28

00:02:02,981  -->  00:02:07,555
[MUSIC]
29

29

00:02:07,555  -->  00:02:13,301
So, the melody is, you gotta hear
that sound in your improvisation.
30

30

00:02:13,301  -->  00:02:15,410
[MUSIC]
31

31

00:02:15,410  -->  00:02:16,641
You can still hear it.
32

32

00:02:16,641  -->  00:02:21,130
Number five,
use notes from the Blues Scale.
33

33

00:02:21,130  -->  00:02:22,700
If you remember the Blues Scale.
34

34

00:02:24,620  -->  00:02:28,540
So, specially the third,
the flattened third of the scale.
35

35

00:02:28,540  -->  00:02:32,139
[MUSIC]
36

36

00:02:32,139  -->  00:02:33,541
So that's the flat [INAUDIBLE].
37

37

00:02:33,541  -->  00:02:43,541
[MUSIC]
38

38

00:02:51,688  -->  00:02:55,124
Number six,
just see how far removed you can get.
39

39

00:02:55,124  -->  00:03:05,124
