00:00:00,780  -->  00:00:02,930
D minor
Jazz The Right Hand Groove- Part 2.
2

2

00:00:02,930  -->  00:00:08,940
Usually when people begin to improvise,
they try to put in far too many notes.
3

3

00:00:08,940  -->  00:00:12,360
It just becomes overwhelming and
not very interesting.
4

4

00:00:12,360  -->  00:00:16,790
If you listen to good jazz music,
it's not always just fancy rifts and runs,
5

5

00:00:16,790  -->  00:00:18,270
it's more like a conversation.
6

6

00:00:18,270  -->  00:00:20,810
There's lots of variety.
7

7

00:00:20,810  -->  00:00:27,730
Single notes, and melodic patterns, and
some runs, a bit more space, and so on.
8

8

00:00:27,730  -->  00:00:30,590
We don't have to play 100
notes a second to sound okay.
9

9

00:00:30,590  -->  00:00:32,100
In the next practice,
10

10

00:00:32,100  -->  00:00:35,860
we'll show you how to build the right
hand slowly from the bottom up.
11

11

00:00:35,860  -->  00:00:37,855
We'll now take it literally
one note at a time.
12

12

00:00:37,855  -->  00:00:42,656
[SOUND] Improvise with just one note
to begin with, then add another.
13

13

00:00:42,656  -->  00:00:43,875
[SOUND] And another.
14

14

00:00:43,875  -->  00:00:47,822
And so on.
15

15

00:00:47,822  -->  00:00:51,288
Wanna do this over the D
minor jazz chords.
16

16

00:00:51,288  -->  00:00:55,079
[MUSIC]
17

17

00:00:55,079  -->  00:00:57,059
Right hand's going to
play the D blues scale.
18

18

00:00:57,059  -->  00:01:02,700
[MUSIC]
19

19

00:01:02,700  -->  00:01:05,916
Okay, gonna play it one up above so
we don't clash with the left hand.
20

20

00:01:05,916  -->  00:01:15,916
[MUSIC]
21

21

00:01:18,773  -->  00:01:22,320
And to memorize the D Blues Scale,
look at the shifts.
22

22

00:01:22,320  -->  00:01:24,932
So you've got Two Ds.
23

23

00:01:24,932  -->  00:01:28,100
[SOUND] Those three [SOUND]
white keys in the middle.
24

24

00:01:28,100  -->  00:01:30,260
[SOUND] The middle of
the three black keys.
25

25

00:01:30,260  -->  00:01:34,849
[SOUND] If you add in the C-D, so
there's C-D, cuz you think of the word CD.
26

26

00:01:34,849  -->  00:01:38,594
[SOUND] Those three in the middle,
[SOUND] and
27

27

00:01:38,594  -->  00:01:42,246
the middle [SOUND] of
the three black keys.
28

28

00:01:42,246  -->  00:01:45,496
So C-D, [SOUND] C-D.
29

29

00:01:45,496  -->  00:01:46,321
So, C-D.
30

30

00:01:46,321  -->  00:01:47,575
[SOUND]
31

31

00:01:47,575  -->  00:01:57,575
[MUSIC]
32

32

00:01:58,871  -->  00:02:00,131
So let's get started.
33

33

00:02:00,131  -->  00:02:01,756
Remember start, just with one note.
34

34

00:02:01,756  -->  00:02:06,064
[SOUND] And it's gonna be the root
note of the D blues scale.
35

35

00:02:06,064  -->  00:02:08,889
So you may think how can I
improvise with just one note,
36

36

00:02:08,889  -->  00:02:11,100
one note there's nothing there.
37

37

00:02:11,100  -->  00:02:14,240
But that's the challenge, how can
you make one note sound interesting?
38

38

00:02:14,240  -->  00:02:14,915
Think of the one note sound.
39

39

00:02:14,915  -->  00:02:22,476
[MUSIC]
40

40

00:02:22,476  -->  00:02:25,362
So one note can sound
interesting if you change it,
41

41

00:02:25,362  -->  00:02:29,135
if you give it variety,
if you repeat things, give it some space.
42

42

00:02:29,135  -->  00:02:31,282
Give it a go.
43

43

00:02:31,282  -->  00:02:41,282
[MUSIC]
44

44

00:02:51,541  -->  00:02:52,145
Now two notes.
45

45

00:02:52,145  -->  00:03:02,145
[MUSIC]
46

46

00:03:15,375  -->  00:03:16,154
Now three notes.
47

47

00:03:16,154  -->  00:03:25,202
[MUSIC]
48

48

00:03:25,202  -->  00:03:25,702
Okay.
49

49

00:03:25,702  -->  00:03:35,702
[MUSIC]
50

50

00:03:44,665  -->  00:03:45,402
Now four notes.
51

51

00:03:45,402  -->  00:03:55,402
[MUSIC]
52

52

00:04:18,522  -->  00:04:19,718
Now five notes.
53

53

00:04:19,718  -->  00:04:29,718
[MUSIC]
54

54

00:04:55,331  -->  00:04:57,293
Then you have a little three note pattern.
55

55

00:04:57,293  -->  00:05:07,293
[MUSIC]
56

56

00:05:18,750  -->  00:05:19,435
Then you have a.
57

57

00:05:19,435  -->  00:05:29,435
[MUSIC]
58

58

00:05:38,527  -->  00:05:40,605
So then you could use the notes
from two or three octaves.
59

59

00:05:40,605  -->  00:05:50,605
[MUSIC]
60

60

00:06:04,801  -->  00:06:07,576
And remember you can still use
the scale of D minor seven.
61

61

00:06:07,576  -->  00:06:17,576
