1

00:00:00,380  -->  00:00:02,960
Traditional Jazz/Blues.
2

2

00:00:02,960  -->  00:00:06,660
Traditional jazz used more obvious chord
progression than you might hear nowadays.
3

3

00:00:06,660  -->  00:00:10,605
So you aren't going to
hear much chordals or.
4

4

00:00:10,605  -->  00:00:13,868
[MUSIC]
5

5

00:00:13,868  -->  00:00:17,110
Think more of the New Orleans jazz
band walking down the street.
6

6

00:00:17,110  -->  00:00:18,760
You know where the progression
is going to go.
7

7

00:00:18,760  -->  00:00:21,480
It's more obvious,
more light-hearted, fun.
8

8

00:00:21,480  -->  00:00:23,020
It's upbeat.
9

9

00:00:23,020  -->  00:00:27,930
Traditional jazz progressions are not too
complex, but they're also not just as
10

10

00:00:27,930  -->  00:00:34,030
basic as a basic blues progression.
11

11

00:00:34,030  -->  00:00:38,990
So the basic blues,
12-bar blues, uses three chords.
12

12

00:00:38,990  -->  00:00:43,980
It's C, remember, C, F, G, back to C.
13

13

00:00:43,980  -->  00:00:48,270
And traditional jazz expands on that with
more chords to make things much more
14

14

00:00:48,270  -->  00:00:49,130
interesting.
15

15

00:00:49,130  -->  00:00:51,730
So we're going to play a typical,
16

16

00:00:51,730  -->  00:00:54,510
traditional jazz progression
in the key of F.
17

17

00:00:55,710  -->  00:00:57,801
But before I show you how
it's all put together,
18

18

00:00:57,801  -->  00:00:59,435
I'll play the progression through.
19

19

00:00:59,435  -->  00:01:09,435
[MUSIC]
20

20

00:01:26,218  -->  00:01:30,119
So, you can hear it's a mix of blues and
jazz, not too mysterious.
21

21

00:01:30,119  -->  00:01:31,454
You kinda know where it's going.
22

22

00:01:31,454  -->  00:01:36,153
It's fun, it's upbeat,
best of all it's not too complicated, but
23

23

00:01:36,153  -->  00:01:37,595
it does sound great.
24

24

00:01:37,595  -->  00:01:40,521
So let's look at the chords
you're going to use.
25

25

00:01:40,521  -->  00:01:45,351
In F, the three basic blues chords or
the three major chords in the key of F.
26

26

00:01:45,351  -->  00:01:47,114
F,
27

27

00:01:47,114  -->  00:01:48,451
[MUSIC]
28

28

00:01:48,451  -->  00:01:53,431
B flat, C, you can hear that
it wants to go back to F.
29

29

00:01:53,431  -->  00:01:55,717
[MUSIC]
30

30

00:01:55,717  -->  00:02:00,030
And it's really not important at this
stage to know the theory behind that.
31

31

00:02:00,030  -->  00:02:02,220
Just memorize it all for now.
32

32

00:02:02,220  -->  00:02:05,470
Remember the motto, play first,
ask questions later.
33

33

00:02:06,470  -->  00:02:09,266
Now in the traditional blues jazz in F,
34

34

00:02:09,266  -->  00:02:13,353
they add in more chords to add
in more color and interest.
35

35

00:02:13,353  -->  00:02:14,932
So there's going to be a B diminished.
36

36

00:02:14,932  -->  00:02:18,182
[MUSIC]
37

37

00:02:18,182  -->  00:02:19,401
G minor 7.
38

38

00:02:19,401  -->  00:02:21,339
[MUSIC]
39

39

00:02:21,339  -->  00:02:22,954
D 7.
40

40

00:02:22,954  -->  00:02:24,056
[MUSIC]
41

41

00:02:24,056  -->  00:02:27,656
Remember it's nearly always
sevens in these progressions.
42

42

00:02:27,656  -->  00:02:31,196
To start the progression off,
we use a nice voicing for the F.
43

43

00:02:31,196  -->  00:02:33,972
F7 with an added 6th.
44

44

00:02:33,972  -->  00:02:35,759
Gives a nice bluesy feel to start with.
45

45

00:02:35,759  -->  00:02:40,356
[MUSIC]
46

46

00:02:40,356  -->  00:02:41,226
So you get that from there's F.
47

47

00:02:41,226  -->  00:02:43,965
First, third, fifth.
48

48

00:02:43,965  -->  00:02:46,659
Move the root down to the seventh.
49

49

00:02:46,659  -->  00:02:49,642
We've got the third, and
then move the fifth up to the sixth.
50

50

00:02:49,642  -->  00:02:54,263
[MUSIC]
51

51

00:02:54,263  -->  00:02:55,400
So if we just played the fifth,
52

52

00:02:55,400  -->  00:02:56,945
[MUSIC]
53

53

00:02:56,945  -->  00:02:59,208
It wouldn't sound quite as mysterious.
54

54

00:02:59,208  -->  00:03:00,404
Sixth gives it more interest.
55

55

00:03:00,404  -->  00:03:04,304
[MUSIC]
56

56

00:03:04,304  -->  00:03:09,041
Then you have the B flat chord, so
just use the root and the seventh.
57

57

00:03:09,041  -->  00:03:12,813
So there's B flat,
there's B flat up there,
58

58

00:03:12,813  -->  00:03:17,086
two left to the seventh,
same as you do with the C 7.
59

59

00:03:17,086  -->  00:03:19,502
So C two left to seven.
60

60

00:03:19,502  -->  00:03:22,263
Same with the B-flat,
move two left to seven.
61

61

00:03:22,263  -->  00:03:25,310
So it's root and seventh, okay?
62

62

00:03:25,310  -->  00:03:28,857
It's in a nice position on the piano and
it has a nice sound, so
63

63

00:03:28,857  -->  00:03:31,670
it's a good B-flat to
play in any progression.
64

64

00:03:31,670  -->  00:03:32,740
And you got B diminished.
65

65

00:03:32,740  -->  00:03:35,240
Just slide both of those
up onto the white half.
66

66

00:03:35,240  -->  00:03:37,700
And there's B diminished,
there's the seven.
67

67

00:03:38,960  -->  00:03:39,502
Two left.
68

68

00:03:39,502  -->  00:03:40,627
Lead with the third and fifth.
69

69

00:03:40,627  -->  00:03:43,970
[SOUND] And there's a D 7.
70

70

00:03:43,970  -->  00:03:47,244
Just play the full chord,
again that's a nice position on the piano.
71

71

00:03:47,244  -->  00:03:50,750
It sounds okay, the full four note chord.
72

72

00:03:50,750  -->  00:03:51,969
There's a G minor seven.
73

73

00:03:51,969  -->  00:03:54,951
[MUSIC]
74

74

00:03:54,951  -->  00:03:57,426
And back to the C and back to the F.
75

75

00:03:57,426  -->  00:04:00,304
[MUSIC]
76

76

00:04:00,304  -->  00:04:04,403
So now I'll show you how the whole
progression's put together.
77

77

00:04:04,403  -->  00:04:07,329
Progression uses the riff that you
used before in the Sleazy Blues.
78

78

00:04:07,329  -->  00:04:09,627
[MUSIC]
79

79

00:04:09,627  -->  00:04:15,350
Okay, when you bunched on to
them there's the C 3, 5, 7.
80

80

00:04:15,350  -->  00:04:16,511
You bounce on to the third.
81

81

00:04:16,511  -->  00:04:18,391
[MUSIC]
82

82

00:04:18,391  -->  00:04:20,122
So you wanna change that to F so
there's F.
83

83

00:04:20,122  -->  00:04:22,292
[MUSIC]
84

84

00:04:22,292  -->  00:04:23,106
Bounce onto the third.

86

86

00:04:29,027  -->  00:04:32,787

use the same riff transposed to B flat.

[MUSIC]
88

88

00:04:34,622  -->  00:04:36,364

00:04:39,788  -->  00:04:41,309

92

92

00:04:43,445  -->  00:04:44,512
Back to the F.
Repeat the riff,
93

93

00:04:44,512  -->  00:04:46,392
and then you're holding
it in the second bar.

[MUSIC]
95

95

00:04:49,248  -->  00:04:52,209

back to the B flat, same riff.

00:04:54,598  -->  00:04:56,258
Now you're into B diminished.
98

98

00:04:56,258  -->  00:04:57,212
G moves slightly.
99

99

00:04:57,212  -->  00:04:57,930
Two notes up.

101

00:05:02,981  -->  00:05:03,899
Leave out there.

104

00:05:06,057  -->  00:05:07,277

off the seventh to the F.
109

109

00:05:15,914  -->  00:05:18,409
Down to that up to the D, so.

111

111

00:05:21,079  -->  00:05:22,531
And then you're into the G minor seventh.
112

112

00:05:22,531  -->  00:05:23,831
Start with the root here.
113

March down to that.

Run up to F, and
