[E] And then on measure 8, you're gonna play the lower G here with the thumb.
[Eb] _ [N] Now notice you can play a softer G for the lower octave, or you can actually do the other way around.
You can play the lower G slightly louder than the higher G.
Let's see how they sound, [G] okay?
That sounds pretty good.
I play it loud and then soft.
Let's turn it another way around to play soft and then loud.
_ Huh, [N] I think I like the first one better.
See you have different way to [B] phrase the musical notes.
[G] _ That's another phrase.
On measure 10, [Cm] 11, _ [G] 12.
That's another phrase. _
_ [F] Okay, see notice how this time I'm using a stronger accent on the lower G.
There [G] are different ways you can phrase it.
You can play it softer or louder.
But I think it sounds kind of nice when I play it louder and then soft.
Measure 13, _ that's _ _ _ another phrase.
Very nice ending.
Okay, now we're working on measure 16.
We start the whole song again.
They're the same melody. _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ Okay, [N] what I'd like to introduce you is the techniques with the left hand.
In the past, we have played a single note bass melody.
And also in Fur Elise, we talk about how you can do a root fifth and octave.
And I like to build on that concept.
The root fifth and octave.
And now we're going to use the same root fifth and octave, but we're going to do a row.
Okay, this is a row.
Instead of playing it at a steady rhythm, we're going to row it.
_ You're going to go down.
First the bottom note, and then the middle note, and then the top note.
You're going to go down and then hold it.
[E] And I'm also going to show you [F] how you can use the pattern.
The root position and then we move up.
We call this a first inversion of F chord.
And then we move up again.
It's the same note, but in different combinations.
And this is C, F, A.
You can move this whole thing down here.
That's also C, F, and A.
They are the second inversion.
So you can play F chord and then C [C] chord.
In this case, the C chord is a lot easier if you play in the root position.
Because they are so close to the F second inversion.
[C] _ Have you heard of this?
[F] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] This [D] is also called the plagal cadence.
It's a [F] chord progression.
Going from the F to the [C] C.
You're going a fourth.
One, [D] two, three, four.
[E] We call this a plagal cadence. _ _ _
