C major basic triad workout number two. 2 2
This exercise extends the broken three note chord practice into a fun 3 3
four note right-hand pattern over a left-hand twist rhythm. 4 4
You remember the twist rhythm? 5 5
[MUSIC] 6 6
So we're going to use that rhythm, slightly different chord progression. 7 7
It's gonna be C and A minor. 8 8
Instead of going to F, we go up to D minor, down to G. 9 9
First, we'll learn the right hand on its own, until you can play it with ease. 10 10
You're going to break the C chord into a four note pattern. 11 11
So the C chord, I'm gonna add the root on the top again. 12 12
And you're gonna play the same notes again but start on the third, start on the E. 13 13
Same notes again but start on the G. 14 14
And back to the C, an octave up. 15 15
[MUSIC] 16 16
So you play the same three notes for the entire sequence, but 17 17
just in different inversion. 18 18
[MUSIC] 19 19
And once you've completed the upward sequence for the C, 20 20
and used a similar sequence in reverse for the next chord, A minor. 21 21
So A minor is A, C, E. 22 22
You add the root, but we're gonna come down it first of all. 23 23
So I'm just going back down the A minor chord. 24 24
Then same four notes, but start on the A this time. 25 25
[MUSIC] 26 26
So that's the A minor chord. 27 27
Third chord is the D minor, you're going to go up the D minor, so 28 28
there's D minor with root at it again. 29 29
[MUSIC] 30 30
So that's A minor. 31 31
Lastly, you go down to G chord. 32 32
So there's your G chord. 33 33
[MUSIC] 34 34
Back to C. 35 35
So once you can play this easily in the right hand, just take it slowly. 36 36
[MUSIC] 37 37
Down to A minor. 38 38
[MUSIC] 39 39
Up to D minor. 40 40
[MUSIC] 41 41
Down to G. 42 42
[MUSIC] 43 43
And to C. 44 44
Then you can try it over the left hand twist chord. 45 45
Try it with the C first of all, nice and slowly. 46 46
[MUSIC] 47 47
Try it again. 48 48
[MUSIC] 49 49
It sounds hard, but it's actually easier than you think because your left hand will 50 50
automatically want to drop into those notes with the right-hand pattern. 51 51
[MUSIC] 52 52
So then you come down to A minor. 53 53
[MUSIC] 54 54
Up the D minor. 55 55
[MUSIC] 56 56
Back down to G chord. 57 57
[MUSIC] 58 58
Try the whole progression, just do it very slowly. 59 59
So you go up the C chord. 60 60
[MUSIC] 61 61
Down the A minor. 62 62
[MUSIC] 63 63
Up to D minor. 64 64
[MUSIC] 65 65
Down to G. 66 66
[MUSIC] 67 67
And remember to tick the box every time you try it in a different key. 68 68
Another thing you can add is that you can start instead of going up the C chord, 69 69
you can go down the C chord, 70 70
that way you get to learn all the chords in either direction. 71 71
[MUSIC] 72 72
Up to A minor. 73 73
[MUSIC] 74 74
And so on.
