00:00:01,880  -->  00:00:05,850
A minor Caterpillar, for songs like
Fly Me to the Moon, Autumn Leaves, and
2

2

00:00:05,850  -->  00:00:06,560
many others.

3

00:00:08,270  -->  00:00:10,878
Try the Caterpillar chord progression, but
4

4

00:00:10,878  -->  00:00:13,628
this time start with
a root position A minor 7.

[MUSIC]
6

6

00:00:14,953  -->  00:00:17,250
Caterpillar until you reach E7.
7

7

00:00:17,250  -->  00:00:22,240
So A minor 7,
squeeze in D minor 7 middle inversion.
8

8

00:00:22,240  -->  00:00:25,060
I go down to G7.
9

9

00:00:25,060  -->  00:00:29,440
And again to C major 7 middle inversion.
10

10

00:00:29,440  -->  00:00:32,920
Play it again to F major 7, root position.
11

11

00:00:32,920  -->  00:00:37,640
And again to B half diminished 7,
middle inversion.
12

12

00:00:37,640  -->  00:00:39,580
And again to E7.
13

13

00:00:39,580  -->  00:00:42,968
And back to A minor 7, middle inversion.

15

15

00:00:53,905  -->  00:00:56,285
I'm sure you've heard that
progression many, many times.
16

16

00:00:56,285  -->  00:00:59,511
Covers a lot of jazz songs and standards.

18

00:01:23,903  -->  00:01:27,829
Another fun way to use the progression is
to change from using the chords in your
19

19

00:01:27,829  -->  00:01:29,268
left hand to the right hand.
20

20

00:01:29,268  -->  00:01:32,147
But keep position on
the piano exactly the same.

22

22

00:01:37,870  -->  00:01:38,427
Okay?
23

23

00:01:38,427  -->  00:01:40,274
Just a base note in the left hand for
each chord.
24

24

00:01:40,274  -->  00:01:42,489
So we can try the bossa nova bounce.

26

26

00:01:55,528  -->  00:01:58,945
Okay, that's great if somebody's singing,
and you can play that as an accompaniment.
