Another fun progression to play along with. 2 2
Try these chords and see if you can sing along with, and then play along with, 3 3
Stormy Weather, Blue Moon, You Make Me Feel So Young and so on. 4 4
[MUSIC] 5 5
Okay, just four seventh chords. 6 6
Three, you've been playing already. 7 7
C major seven, D minor seven, caterpillar to G seven. 8 8
The one you haven't been playing is C sharp diminished seven. 9 9
Do you remember how symmetrical a diminished shape is? 10 10
So you're on the C major seven. 11 11
Keep your two middle fingers, just lay it onto the black notes for 12 12
G sharp diminished seven, and everything out and open upon to D minor seven, 13 13
and caterpillar into G seven, middle inversion. 14 14
[MUSIC] 15 15
So can you hear Blue Moon? 16 16
[MUSIC] 17 17
Or Stormy Weather. 18 18
[MUSIC] 19 19
You can then try to improvise with the chords. 20 20
So, just use chord tones to start with. 21 21
So remember the pattern where you marry the left hand chords, so you go up 22 22
[MUSIC] 23 23
And then down to the next chord, and then up to the next chord, and then down. 24 24
[MUSIC] 25 25
And another good way to play it with the left hand is to use a stride technique. 26 26
And that's difficult to begin with. 27 27
But, if you keep practicing it, it will get easier. 28 28
And just include it in your daily practice once or twice. 29 29
So try it. 30 30
So you go from a C, C sharp. 31 31
[MUSIC] 32 32
You then try using the chord patterns in the right hand we tried earlier, the. 33 33
[MUSIC] 34 34
Just practice it very slowly 35 35
