Blues Jazz Practice Progressions. 2 2
Earlier in the book you played a four chord progression 3 3
[MUSIC]. 4 4
So here's another similar progression, a lot more chords. 5 5
It's often used in jazz and jazz standards. 6 6
In the key of C. 7 7
It's heard in songs like Cherokee and Ain't Misbehavin'. 8 8
Follow the keyboard diagrams very carefully. 9 9
It starts with [SOUND] C major 7. 10 10
[SOUND] Keep the middle two fingers. 11 11
Slide onto the outer black keys, 12 12
[SOUND] just like the previous progression you learned. 13 13
Right onto D minor again like before but this time instead of 14 14
caterpillaring to the G, keeping these two and you're sliding 15 15
those up on to E flat diminished, everything out onto E minor seven. 16 16
And then keep these two the same, move these on to [INAUDIBLE] diminished. 17 17
Everything up to F major seven, and 18 18
then move those down to F minor seven, and to E minor seven, 19 19
caterpillar to A minor seven, open up to D minor seven, 20 20
caterpillar to G seven, and out to C major seven. 21 21
So the whole sequence, 22 22
[MUSIC]. 23 23
I'm sure you've heard that before. 24 24
If you want to improvise over those chords, just keep it simple. 25 25
Use a lot of chord tones, small patterns. 26 26
So let's try something. 27 27
So you've got your, 28 28
[MUSIC] 29 29
So what about? 30 30
[MUSIC] 31 31
On to this chord, so. 32 32
[MUSIC] 33 33
You're near to just pick a chord until you can see it with the left hand. 34 34
Easiest way to do it sometimes. 35 35
[MUSIC] 36 36
Go back down the chord. 37 37
[MUSIC] 38 38
Up a scale. 39 39
[MUSIC] 40 40
Your next chord is there. 41 41
[SOUND] Your next note so. 42 42
[MUSIC] 43 43
It'd be up to just repeat. 44 44
[MUSIC] 45 45
So you know that that's what's making that sound different, those two notes, 46 46
so emphasize that. 47 47
[MUSIC] 48 48
Right, F major, then you're up on to the third of F. 49 49
[MUSIC] 50 50
F minor, see there's the 7th. 51 51
[MUSIC] 52 52
And you're on the E minor so you're near the E. 53 53
[SOUND] A minor. 54 54
[SOUND] And you're going to go out to D minor so have it bunching down to D. 55 55
[SOUND] And then you're in the G and you're out to C again so. 56 56
[MUSIC]
