00:00:00,025  -->  00:00:01,230
Jazzin' the Blues in G.
2

2

00:00:03,520  -->  00:00:08,135
What we're going to now is transpose
the same exercises you did at the start of
3

3

00:00:08,135  -->  00:00:10,344
the book in the key of C to the key of G.
4

4

00:00:10,344  -->  00:00:14,152
The reason is that G is the second
easiest key to play the blues.
5

5

00:00:14,152  -->  00:00:19,565
And also it's far enough from C that
if you're accompanying someone singing,
6

6

00:00:19,565  -->  00:00:22,975
and C doesn't suit their voice,
G may well do so.
7

7

00:00:22,975  -->  00:00:28,925
So in C, you learned the three
left-hand blues voicings,
8

8

00:00:28,925  -->  00:00:32,495
C7, F7 middle, G7 backwards.
9

9

00:00:32,495  -->  00:00:33,679
And you learned the C blues scale.
10

10

00:00:33,679  -->  00:00:42,015
[MUSIC]
11

11

00:00:42,015  -->  00:00:45,172
Then you learn some riffs and
some patterns, and
12

12

00:00:45,172  -->  00:00:48,028
you're now going to do
the CM in the key of G.
13

13

00:00:48,028  -->  00:00:52,020
First two pages will give you
the new chords and the blues scale.
14

14

00:00:52,020  -->  00:00:54,440
Following pages will give you
the CM patterns you learned for
15

15

00:00:54,440  -->  00:00:56,500
C, but transposed to G.
16

16

00:00:56,500  -->  00:01:00,347
So let's find the three chords for G.
17

17

00:01:00,347  -->  00:01:04,161
The three basic blues chords
in any key are I, IV, and V,
18

18

00:01:04,161  -->  00:01:07,197
the three major chords
in the family chords.
19

19

00:01:07,197  -->  00:01:10,099
So in G that's G, I.
20

20

00:01:10,099  -->  00:01:14,813
One, two, three, four, C, and D.
21

21

00:01:14,813  -->  00:01:19,143
And as with C, the root position
triads don't sound very bluesy, so
22

22

00:01:19,143  -->  00:01:21,918
we have to find some interesting voicings.
23

23

00:01:21,918  -->  00:01:27,180
For G7, we're going to play a seventh,
third and the sixth of G.
24

24

00:01:27,180  -->  00:01:30,720
There's G, seven to the left,
third, four, five and the sixth.
25

25

00:01:31,900  -->  00:01:36,770
You can see that's a chordal, voicing,
so a gap, two and a gap, one, two, one,
26

26

00:01:36,770  -->  00:01:39,638
two, three, four, one, two, three, four.
27

27

00:01:39,638  -->  00:01:44,367
Easy way to remember that chord and find
it quickly is to remember that ship and
28

28

00:01:44,367  -->  00:01:48,531
instead of going the G and trying it,
just go to that seventh first.
29

29

00:01:48,531  -->  00:01:53,570
[MUSIC]
30

30

00:01:53,570  -->  00:01:57,569
The C7 chord, you're going to
find something equally bluesy,
31

31

00:01:57,569  -->  00:02:01,580
but close to that, so that we don't
have to move around too much.
32

32

00:02:01,580  -->  00:02:03,183
So, there's C.
33

33

00:02:03,183  -->  00:02:05,737
Let's play the third,
the seventh, and the ninth.
34

34

00:02:05,737  -->  00:02:09,080
[MUSIC]
35

35

00:02:09,080  -->  00:02:09,823
And that's the C.
36

[MUSIC]
37

37

00:02:16,371  -->  00:02:19,343
For the D, just play the root,
the third and the seventh.
38

38

00:02:19,343  -->  00:02:21,108
[MUSIC]
39

39

00:02:21,108  -->  00:02:21,990
Sounds okay down there.
40

[MUSIC]
41

41

00:02:26,936  -->  00:02:28,700
Now for the right hand.
42

42

00:02:28,700  -->  00:02:31,997
We're going to need to
learn the G blues scale.
43

43

00:02:31,997  -->  00:02:35,202
On the page, you'll see I've
written it just around middle C.
44

44

00:02:35,202  -->  00:02:37,198
We're gonna play it one octave up.
45

45

00:02:37,198  -->  00:02:40,728
So as to not interfere with the left hand.
46

46

00:02:40,728  -->  00:02:42,655
So just follow the keyboard
diagram to begin with.
47

47

00:02:42,655  -->  00:02:45,790
[MUSIC]
48

48

00:02:45,790  -->  00:02:46,487
Back to G.
49

49

00:02:46,487  -->  00:02:54,474
[MUSIC]
50

50

00:02:54,474  -->  00:02:58,026
And there's several ways
to memorize this scale.
51

51

00:02:58,026  -->  00:03:04,063
One is, to form a blues scale,
you play a minor 7.
52

52

00:03:04,063  -->  00:03:06,710
So there's G minor 7.
53

53

00:03:06,710  -->  00:03:08,266
You add the fourth and
the flattened fifth.
54

54

00:03:08,266  -->  00:03:13,281
[MUSIC]
55

55

00:03:13,281  -->  00:03:14,326
Okay.
56

56

00:03:14,326  -->  00:03:18,738
[MUSIC]
57

57

00:03:18,738  -->  00:03:21,617
You could also just look at the shapes.
58

58

00:03:21,617  -->  00:03:24,682
So there's two black keys [SOUND] and
two white keys.
59

59

00:03:24,682  -->  00:03:25,936
[SOUND] One in the middle.
60

60

00:03:25,936  -->  00:03:30,649
[MUSIC]
61

61

00:03:30,649  -->  00:03:33,296
All right.
And then the seventh back to the G.
62

62

00:03:33,296  -->  00:03:35,432
So, blues shapes.
63

63

00:03:35,432  -->  00:03:38,219
It also looks very like the C blues scale.
64

64

00:03:38,219  -->  00:03:39,078
So there's the C blues scale.
65

65

00:03:39,078  -->  00:03:40,796
[MUSIC]
66

66

00:03:40,796  -->  00:03:44,043
See the way you're going to the right-hand
side of the two white notes, and
67

67

00:03:44,043  -->  00:03:45,834
you've got those three notes together.
68

68

00:03:45,834  -->  00:03:48,922
[SOUND] So you get the seventh back.
69

69

00:03:48,922  -->  00:03:54,774
The only difference is that the seventh in
C is black, and the seventh in G is white.
70

70

00:03:54,774  -->  00:03:58,524
If you notice that shift,
71

71

00:03:58,524  -->  00:04:03,643
in C it was this, and in G it is this.
72

72

00:04:03,643  -->  00:04:08,635
So now you just start practicing over your
three left-hand chords with this scale.

74

Don't try anything tricky.
75

75

00:04:19,038  -->  00:04:20,825
Just play the scale up and down.
76

76

00:04:20,825  -->  00:04:25,469
Get used to it,
get used to doing both hands together.
77

77

00:04:25,469  -->  00:04:29,161
Following pages have all the riffs
you have learned in C but
78

78

00:04:29,161  -->  00:04:30,902
transposed to the key of G.
79

79

00:04:30,902  -->  00:04:32,667
You've got your three note patterns.
