00:00:00,410  -->  00:00:01,120
D minor Jazz.

2

00:00:01,120  -->  00:00:02,733
Left Hand Stride.
3

3

00:00:02,733  -->  00:00:07,844
Another way to play your D minor
jazz chord, your D to E and
4

4

00:00:07,844  -->  00:00:14,249
G minor 7 to A minor 7, use the stride
variations so you start with a D.

00:00:14,249  -->  00:00:21,191
[MUSIC]
6

6

00:00:21,191  -->  00:00:23,583
The G is G minor 7, A minor 7.

00:00:23,583  -->  00:00:30,931
[MUSIC]
8

8

00:00:30,931  -->  00:00:34,763
So try the progression on the next page,
12 bars.
9

9

00:00:34,763  -->  00:00:38,575
And notice on the sheet music that even
though E minor 7 looks like it's played
10

10

00:00:38,575  -->  00:00:42,415
twice, just before the end of the bar and
held down throughout the next bar..
11

11

00:00:42,415  -->  00:00:46,281
So that's what the little
curved lines mean.
12

12

00:00:46,281  -->  00:00:47,812
They are called ties.
13

13

00:00:47,812  -->  00:00:53,780
Try the progression.
14

00:00:53,780  -->  00:01:03,780
[MUSIC]
15

15

00:01:19,413  -->  00:01:22,176
And so on.
16

16

00:01:22,176  -->  00:01:23,139
Now you could play around
with D Minor 7 scale.
17

17

00:01:23,139  -->  00:01:26,495
[MUSIC]
18

18

00:01:26,495  -->  00:01:28,119
Or you could play the D blues scale.
19

19

00:01:28,119  -->  00:01:32,532
[MUSIC]
20

20

00:01:32,532  -->  00:01:35,433
But the problem with that is your
mind will be focused on the left
21

21

00:01:35,433  -->  00:01:37,640
hand because stride isn't
easy to begin with.
22

22

00:01:37,640  -->  00:01:39,021
So you'll be watching this.
23

23

00:01:39,021  -->  00:01:41,703
From the G.
24

24

00:01:41,703  -->  00:01:46,184
So you don't want to have too
much to do in the right hand.
25

25

00:01:46,184  -->  00:01:51,062
What we can do is, we'll pick two simple
patterns that'll stay under your fingers
26

26

00:01:51,062  -->  00:01:53,441
in the right hand from the D blues scale.
27

27

00:01:53,441  -->  00:01:56,261
So for D I'm gonna play.
28

28

00:01:56,261  -->  00:01:59,059
[MUSIC]
29

29

00:01:59,059  -->  00:02:00,709
And that's all.
Now the thing is to play it with
30

30

00:02:00,709  -->  00:02:04,146
confidence, as if you're deliberately,
you want to play this stuff.
31

31

00:02:04,146  -->  00:02:05,190
You choose to play this.
32

32

00:02:05,190  -->  00:02:08,812
It's not because you're avoiding anything
else and because it's too difficult.
33

33

00:02:08,812  -->  00:02:10,009
You want to play this.
34

34

00:02:10,009  -->  00:02:11,111
Play it with confidence.
35

35

00:02:11,111  -->  00:02:16,312
[MUSIC]
36

36

00:02:16,312  -->  00:02:19,250
Okay, and the G, it's going to be
a similar pattern starting on the G.
37

37

00:02:19,250  -->  00:02:21,189
So the first one starts
the D,easy to remember.
38

38

00:02:21,189  -->  00:02:23,430
Second one starts on the G,
easy to remember.
39

39

00:02:23,430  -->  00:02:26,426
Similar pattern, just different notes.
40

40

00:02:26,426  -->  00:02:29,930
Back to it.
41

41

00:02:29,930  -->  00:02:34,528
So give it a try.
42

42

00:02:34,528  -->  00:02:36,129
Just take it nice and slow.
43

43

00:02:36,129  -->  00:02:46,129
[MUSIC]
44

44

00:02:52,023  -->  00:02:56,447
Then to get to the D you could go
through passing notes up to the G.
