00:00:00,004  -->  00:00:05,100
Melodic patterns number two,
combining patterns.
2

2

00:00:05,100  -->  00:00:08,870
The following is a mixture of two of
the patterns from the previous lesson.
3

3

00:00:10,370  -->  00:00:14,850
Triplets rhythm gives the pattern
a lot of drive and excitement.
4

4

00:00:14,850  -->  00:00:15,950
You can hear it driving forward.
5

5

00:00:15,950  -->  00:00:18,086
This make it great if
you're improvising jazz.
6

6

00:00:18,086  -->  00:00:19,836
Gives it a nice swing feel.
7

7

00:00:19,836  -->  00:00:21,003
So the top pattern there,
8

8

00:00:21,003  -->  00:00:24,753
[MUSIC].
9

9

00:00:24,753  -->  00:00:28,211
Now there's different ways that you
can give accent to that pattern.
10

10

00:00:28,211  -->  00:00:29,045
You can play it straight,
11

11

00:00:29,045  -->  00:00:33,753
[MUSIC]
12

12

00:00:33,753  -->  00:00:35,378
Or you can accent it a different way.
13

13

00:00:35,378  -->  00:00:39,961
[MUSIC]
14

14

00:00:39,961  -->  00:00:40,836
Or.
15

15

00:00:40,836  -->  00:00:45,670
[MUSIC]
16

16

00:00:45,670  -->  00:00:47,378
You can hear it's slightly different.
17

17

00:00:47,378  -->  00:00:49,836
It sounds different each time you play it.
18

18

00:00:49,836  -->  00:00:53,128
So, it's up to you what
you want to do with that.
19

19

00:00:53,128  -->  00:00:54,045
On the way down it's
20

20

00:00:54,045  -->  00:01:01,461
[MUSIC]
21

21

00:01:01,461  -->  00:01:02,961
Again, the accent you
can play it straight.
22

22

00:01:02,961  -->  00:01:07,586
[MUSIC]
23

23

00:01:07,586  -->  00:01:10,378
It's almost like a two note pattern
cuz it only sounds like you're.
24

24

00:01:10,378  -->  00:01:13,420
[MUSIC]
25

25

00:01:13,420  -->  00:01:14,128
So.
26

26

00:01:14,128  -->  00:01:19,878
[MUSIC]
27

27

00:01:19,878  -->  00:01:21,437
So that's more like a two note pattern,
but
28

28

00:01:21,437  -->  00:01:22,921
you can play it like a three note pattern.
29

29

00:01:22,921  -->  00:01:28,420
[MUSIC]
30

30

00:01:28,420  -->  00:01:30,128
Can you hear the difference?
31

31

00:01:30,128  -->  00:01:32,920
So you can try that with
some of your jazz chords.
32

32

00:01:32,920  -->  00:01:37,860
Sometimes it's nice with the D minor
seven jazz because it again can use Scale
33

33

00:01:37,860  -->  00:01:39,004
of D minor seven.
34

34

00:01:39,004  -->  00:01:42,086
[SOUND] This is all white keys,
anyways, so.
35

35

00:01:42,086  -->  00:01:52,086
[MUSIC]
36

36

00:01:54,711  -->  00:01:57,378
Now, the two note patterns.
37

37

00:01:57,378  -->  00:02:01,988
Budding improvisers tend to think they
have to use really complicated patterns to
38

38

00:02:01,988  -->  00:02:05,878
sound good, but these simple two
note patterns can sound great too.
39

39

00:02:05,878  -->  00:02:09,211
Especially if they are combined
together with other patterns.
40

40

00:02:09,211  -->  00:02:10,378
So it's just simple.
41

41

00:02:10,378  -->  00:02:20,378
[MUSIC]
42

42

00:02:26,503  -->  00:02:28,003
So it's basically just repeating.
43

43

00:02:28,003  -->  00:02:38,003
[MUSIC]
44

44

00:02:41,461  -->  00:02:42,417
And back down.
[SOUND] So
45

45

00:02:42,417  -->  00:02:45,045
it's really a two note pattern moved down.
46

46

00:02:45,045  -->  00:02:48,461
[MUSIC]
47

47

00:02:48,461  -->  00:02:50,086
But that means one of
the notes is repeated.
48

48

00:02:50,086  -->  00:02:56,586
[MUSIC]
49

49

00:02:56,586  -->  00:03:01,295
So you could maybe try that over jazz
chords like the chordal fragments.
50

50

00:03:01,295  -->  00:03:11,295
[MUSIC]
51

51

00:03:25,086  -->  00:03:26,550
Just keep experimenting.
