D minor Jazz, two-handed comping, a Latin twist. 2 2
Let's try a fill progression with this Latin twist rhythm. 3 3
You're gonna have to learn three more chords from the previous page. 4 4
You've got your G minor seven [SOUND] with added second. 5 5
There's G minor seven [SOUND] for G, two and a half [SOUND], added second [SOUND]. 6 6
Got the root in the left hand [SOUND]. 7 7
Just a nice sound. 8 8
[MUSIC] 9 9
A minor seven, so there's A minor with a seven to 10 10
left [SOUND], and an A seven [SOUND]. 11 11
So the left hand. 12 12
[MUSIC] 13 13
The right hand. 14 14
[MUSIC] 15 15
Don't worry too much about the timing on the sheet music. 16 16
It's open to interpretation. 17 17
Because strictly that would be [SOUND] one, two, three, four [SOUND], one, 18 18
two, three, four [SOUND]. 19 19
Which is going to be a bit regimented, so just use your own interpretation [SOUND]. 20 20
Just whatever you feel is right. 21 21
Try it slowly, first of all. 22 22
[MUSIC] 23 23
This is where your G minor comes in [SOUND]. 24 24
[SOUND] So the A minor back to the G minor. 25 25
[SOUND] Back to D. 26 26
And A, and you just hold A [SOUND]. 27 27
And to the G minor. 28 28
[MUSIC] 29 29
There's a couple of things that might help you memorize that song, okay? 30 30
And play it a lot quicker. 31 31
If you look ahead to the next chord, 32 32
[SOUND] way before you have to play it, okay? 33 33
So, you're playing the D [SOUND], 34 34
you've got those two notes to look ahead for the E minor seven. 35 35
So, D minor. 36 36
[MUSIC] 37 37
Okay, so think about looking ahead all the time. 38 38
When you've got time, when you're not playing another note with the right hand, 39 39
look ahead to see what the next chord is, okay? 40 40
So, on the second line there [SOUND], 41 41
as you're playing the E minor, look at the G minor seven [SOUND]. 42 42
Now again, look at the As you're playing the G [SOUND] minor seven, 43 43
look ahead now to the A [SOUND]. 44 44
And A again. 45 45
[MUSIC] 46 46
Okay, so it always helps to be just one step ahead of your hands, in a sense. 47 47
Put your mind to the next chord, 48 48
even though your hands are on the previous chord.
