Chords for ♫ Shaun Martin's Practice Regimen ♫

_ _ _ _ Hi
No, hey, it's a Sean Martin, and I'm here at the Piano Clubhouse
With me and Tom Hanks, TJ, and so I'm gonna do a couple of things I use for a practice regimen _ for piano _ _
First thing I [C] do
Is [Eb] primarily scales.
I do them slow
_ [Ab] Slow _ so I'll do
The best thing for me to [Abm] do is I'll do one octave _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ [E] _ _ [F] _ [G] _ _
[A] _ [B] _ _ [C] _ [B] _ [A] _ _ [G] _
[F] _ _ [E] _ [D] _ _ [C] Two octaves eighth notes, [E] _ [G] _ [A] _ [C] _ [D] _ [E] _ [Am] _
_ [C] _ _ [A] _ [F] _ [E] _ [C] _ [A] _
[Gm] _ [E] _ [D] [C] three octaves triplets
[E] _ [Am] _
_ Four _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
[C] _ octaves [E] _ [Am] sixteenths. _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ [C] _ _ _
[Eb] I do that in all 12 keys moving in a circle of fifths [Bb] so
[Em] So I'll do C, [D] G, [A] D, [E] A, E, [Gb] B, [Db] F sharp, C sharp
[Fm] Then I go to the [D] flats [F] and I'll do F, [C] E [Eb] flat, E flat, [Bbm] A flat
[Eb] Then after that you're just repeating [N] stuff inharmonically so [Bb] and I do that that way
[Ab] That was something I learned I was a kid
[Bb] You know that's how I learned my scales, [C] but I do that that [Bb] way because that way you're adding one sharp at a time
So you know if I'm doing C has no sharps or flats, G has one sharp, D [Ebm] two sharps A
3, E 4, B 5, F sharp 6, C sharp 7
[N] So you know same thing with the flats you know one flat
I add one flat, that's F, two flats, three flats, four flats, A flat
So [Ab] that's that's kind of how you know that's that practice regimen for scales.
Another thing that I do for
[Bb] _
_ _ [Ebm] For
_ Just good technique [Bb] is I do this other these things called
_ [N] _
_ Handing exercises [Eb] and one
Quick [D]
popular one that a lot of people do is they do [Eb] the one where you rotate your wrists that way you [E] know
[Eb] Rotate your wrist you'll kind of get a little [Gb] bit more fluidity.
That's the right [C] word [Bb] over the key, so this [D] one is simple
Do it [Am] a C
_ _ _ [E] _ [Dm] _ _ [Em] _
_ [Am] _ So [Dm] _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ [C] _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _
[F] _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ [F] _ [Dm] _ [Em] _
[D] _ [C] _ _ _ [Ab] _ I'll do [Gb] those most hand exercises are in [A] C
But [Ab] the but it's designed to [Eb] help get the notes up [Ab] under your [Am] fingers _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [Em] _ [Am] _ _ [G] _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Ebm]
Stuff like that kind of helps you know helps helps develop you know [N] your technique
That way you know you know just put it up under your hands
_ [Eb] Another thing I like to do [D] is arpeggios, so I do [C] you know
_ Then _ _ [E] _ [C] _ _
I [Abm] do know I might do I [C] might add a [E] 7 or [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] diminish
[A] _
_ _ _ _ [C] You know _
[Ab] You know stuff like stuff like that
And if you if you have a [F] hard time doing it, you know [N] two hands just do one hand at a time
_ You know [C] one [D] hand at a time
[E] And [F] _ [Gm] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [E] _
_ [Am] _ [Em] _ _ [F] _ [E] _ _ [D] _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ [B] _ _ [Db] _ [Eb] _
[F] and [Gb] _ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ [Db] _
[B] _ _ [Bb] _ [Ab] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ [F] what I would also suggest [Eb] to you know if you start getting [D] into if scales your [Ebm] type of thing
_ _ _ Um
Find out [Abm] the you can [Dbm] find this out online as [Eb] well the correct fingering
[Ab] For it for your scales because like a lot of the black keys like F sharp a flat
[A] When you're doing scales your thumb can't touch [Bb] a black note and there and the reason for that is because it's gonna
It's gonna inhibit your speed [Eb] if you're like to say you're doing like you know _ _ I
Can't even think of [N] a piece that have like a long scale, but you know, but you know, but if you're [Db] doing you know _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [C] Now I [N] can't do that number because I can't cross over I can't I can't okay _
So, [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
you know, that's like that type of stuff but [A] good technique is very very important _
