00:00:03,394  -->  00:00:04,378
If you play the third, so
let's look at C, the third.
3

3

00:00:04,378  -->  00:00:10,020
There's one, two, three, four fix,
six, seven, eight, nine.
4

4

00:00:10,020  -->  00:00:13,620
The third, sixth, and
ninth of any chord in that order,
5

5

00:00:13,620  -->  00:00:17,007
you'll see that each of
the notes are a fourth apart.
6

6

00:00:17,007  -->  00:00:20,356
But even,
it's easy to see on the white keys.
7

7

00:00:20,356  -->  00:00:22,179
One, two, three, four.
8

8

00:00:22,179  -->  00:00:23,166
One, two, three, four.
9

9

00:00:23,166  -->  00:00:24,826
It's got a distinct shift.
10

10

00:00:24,826  -->  00:00:29,060
Most chords you can play on simple.
11

11

00:00:29,060  -->  00:00:31,730
You see that distinctive shift.
12

12

00:00:31,730  -->  00:00:33,001
It's got a distinctive sound.
13

13

00:00:33,001  -->  00:00:36,728
It's a very modern sound too.
14

14

00:00:36,728  -->  00:00:38,185
You'll hear it in many tunes.

[MUSIC]
19

19

00:00:50,131  -->  00:00:54,238
These are great chords for beginners to
improvise with, because each voicing can
20

20

00:00:54,238  -->  00:00:57,647
imply many different chords and
that gives your room for maneuver.
21

21

00:00:57,647  -->  00:01:01,506
You don't have to be so precise
with your right hand improvisation,
22

22

00:01:01,506  -->  00:01:04,901
because it'll sound so
vague it'll probably sound right,
23

23

00:01:04,901  -->  00:01:09,509
whatever you're playing, as long as
you're kinda within a certain structure.
24

24

00:01:09,509  -->  00:01:15,958
Look at the chord again,
third, sixth, and ninth of C.
25

25

00:01:15,958  -->  00:01:21,370
It could also be first,
eleventh, and seventh of E.
26

26

00:01:21,370  -->  00:01:22,940
Which sounds okay with E as well.
27

27

00:01:22,940  -->  00:01:25,210
First and that's the eleventh, because
that's the eleventh because, one, two,
28

28

00:01:25,210  -->  00:01:32,350
three, four, five, six, seven, eighth,
nine, ten, eleven, and the seventh.
29

29

00:01:32,350  -->  00:01:36,480
It could also be the fifth,
the first, and the eleventh of A.
30

30

00:01:36,480  -->  00:01:39,434
One, two, three, four, five, okay.
31

31

00:01:39,434  -->  00:01:41,634
The root and the 11th again.
32

32

00:01:41,634  -->  00:01:46,906
It could also possibly be the seventh,
33

33

00:01:46,906  -->  00:01:54,110
third, and the sixth of F
major 7 of the sixth [SOUND].
34

34

00:01:54,110  -->  00:01:59,261
It sounds okay with C,
[SOUND] E, [SOUND] A, [SOUND] or
35

35

00:01:59,261  -->  00:02:05,164
F [SOUND], cuz it's got that vague,
kind of mysterious.
36

36

00:02:05,164  -->  00:02:08,751
[SOUND] I'm not quite
sure what chord it is.
37

37

00:02:08,751  -->  00:02:10,824
Still a [INAUDIBLE] okay.

40

40

00:02:20,784  -->  00:02:22,996
Notice how easy they are to form.
41

41

00:02:22,996  -->  00:02:26,144
Don't worry yet about what chord they're
related to, just play around with them.
42

42

00:02:26,144  -->  00:02:30,242
Get a feel for the position of your
hand and for that unique sound.

62

62

00:03:48,456  -->  00:03:52,820
And then it's nice if you [SOUND]
start with a D, root and fifth.
63

63

00:03:52,820  -->  00:03:55,903
But give it an overall
sort of D minor tonality.
