00:00:00,004  -->  00:00:03,476
Another fun progression
to play along with.
2

2

00:00:03,476  -->  00:00:08,138
Try these chords and see if you can sing
along with, and then play along with,
3

3

00:00:08,138  -->  00:00:12,036
Stormy Weather, Blue Moon,
You Make Me Feel So Young and so on.

[MUSIC]
5

5

00:00:20,974  -->  00:00:22,972
Okay, just four seventh chords.
6

6

00:00:22,972  -->  00:00:24,574
Three, you've been playing already.
7

7

00:00:24,574  -->  00:00:28,556
C major seven, D minor seven,
caterpillar to G seven.
8

8

00:00:28,556  -->  00:00:32,654
The one you haven't been playing
is C sharp diminished seven.
9

9

00:00:32,654  -->  00:00:37,031
Do you remember how symmetrical
a diminished shape is?
10

10

00:00:37,031  -->  00:00:39,048
So you're on the C major seven.
11

11

00:00:39,048  -->  00:00:44,658
Keep your two middle fingers,
just lay it onto the black notes for
12

12

00:00:44,658  -->  00:00:51,288
G sharp diminished seven, and everything
out and open upon to D minor seven,
13

13

00:00:51,288  -->  00:00:55,690
and caterpillar into G seven,
middle inversion.
14

14

00:00:55,690  -->  00:00:59,476
[MUSIC]
15

15

00:00:59,476  -->  00:01:01,391
So can you hear Blue Moon?
16

00:01:01,391  -->  00:01:10,215
[MUSIC]
17

17

00:01:10,215  -->  00:01:11,968
Or Stormy Weather.
18

18

00:01:11,968  -->  00:01:21,968
[MUSIC]
19

19

00:01:27,431  -->  00:01:29,857
You can then try to
improvise with the chords.
20

20

00:01:29,857  -->  00:01:32,434
So, just use chord tones to start with.
21

21

00:01:32,434  -->  00:01:35,974
So remember the pattern where you marry
the left hand chords, so you go up
22

22

00:01:35,974  -->  00:01:38,112
[MUSIC]
23

23

00:01:38,112  -->  00:01:42,628
And then down to the next chord, and
then up to the next chord, and then down.
24

24

00:01:42,628  -->  00:01:47,609
[MUSIC]
25

25

00:01:47,609  -->  00:01:52,367
And another good way to play it with the
left hand is to use a stride technique.
26

26

00:01:52,367  -->  00:01:53,796
And that's difficult to begin with.
27

27

00:01:53,796  -->  00:01:56,254
But, if you keep practicing it,
it will get easier.
28

28

00:01:56,254  -->  00:01:59,215
And just include it in your
daily practice once or twice.
29

29

00:01:59,215  -->  00:02:00,271
So try it.
30

30

00:02:00,271  -->  00:02:04,033
So you go from a C, C sharp.
31

31

00:02:04,033  -->  00:02:14,033
[MUSIC]
32

32

00:02:28,329  -->  00:02:32,648
You then try using the chord patterns in
the right hand we tried earlier, the.

[MUSIC]
34

34

00:02:36,955  -->  00:02:38,825
Just practice it very slowly
