00:00:00,359  -->  00:00:06,501
The Entertainer, Part I,
the classic three bar octave opening.
2

2

00:00:06,501  -->  00:00:08,022
I'm gonna play it first.
3

3

00:00:08,022  -->  00:00:17,972
[MUSIC]
4

4

00:00:17,972  -->  00:00:20,433
So, it's actually easier than it looks.
5

5

00:00:20,433  -->  00:00:25,402
Because octaves are easy once you
get your fingers locked in position.
6

6

00:00:25,402  -->  00:00:27,586
You just need to watch one note at a time.
7

7

00:00:27,586  -->  00:00:30,163
And it's a very simple repetitive pattern.
8

8

00:00:30,163  -->  00:00:32,311
So, just two very similar patterns.
9

9

00:00:32,311  -->  00:00:37,084
Starting at D, go up and then bounce down.
10

10

00:00:37,084  -->  00:00:39,219
[MUSIC]
11

11

00:00:39,219  -->  00:00:41,379
For those three notes together,
then you go to A.
12

12

00:00:41,379  -->  00:00:44,061
[MUSIC]
13

13

00:00:44,061  -->  00:00:44,920
Back to the D.
14

14

00:00:44,920  -->  00:00:46,464
[MUSIC]
15

15

00:00:46,464  -->  00:00:47,880
A.
16

16

00:00:47,880  -->  00:00:48,821
Back to the D.
17

17

00:00:48,821  -->  00:00:50,527
[MUSIC]
18

18

00:00:50,527  -->  00:00:51,201
Back to the A.
19

19

00:00:51,201  -->  00:00:51,803
[MUSIC]
20

20

00:00:51,803  -->  00:00:52,419
Slightly different.
21

21

00:00:52,419  -->  00:00:55,576
[MUSIC]
22

22

00:00:55,576  -->  00:00:57,526
And you're gonna do it with octaves.
23

23

00:00:57,526  -->  00:01:00,380
So you may not be able to
see the top note there.
24

24

00:01:00,380  -->  00:01:04,210
What you do is you lock your fingers
in one position, the octave,
25

25

00:01:04,210  -->  00:01:06,370
and then you just watch one of them.
26

26

00:01:06,370  -->  00:01:08,278
So you watch your thumb.
27

27

00:01:08,278  -->  00:01:10,298
[MUSIC]
28

28

00:01:10,298  -->  00:01:11,412
And move down to the A.
29

29

00:01:11,412  -->  00:01:13,571
[MUSIC]
30

30

00:01:13,571  -->  00:01:14,314
Down to the D.
31

31

00:01:14,314  -->  00:01:21,710
[MUSIC]
32

32

00:01:21,710  -->  00:01:22,278
And then.
33

33

00:01:22,278  -->  00:01:32,278
[MUSIC]
34

34

00:01:34,214  -->  00:01:37,235
And that's the opening three bars of
the Entertainer in the next page.
