_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [F] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Db] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ Welcome back.
Okay, now we're ready to take a slightly more sophisticated approach to
the progression that we have been doing. _
_ We had C for [F] two beats, _ _ F for [G] two, _ G for two,
[F] F for two.
The F in this progression served as sort of a passing chord.
It's a subdominant
chord, which means that the two most important chords [C] in this progression are actually the
and [G] the five.
_ _ _ That's really [C] _
_ similar _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ to what we were doing [C] before when _ _ we were going from
the fifth degree, [G] _ _ _
_ where we anchored ourselves on [C] G. _
We're here, [G] C to G, that is. _ _
[C] _ _ One, two,
three, four.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ One _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] chord, _ _ _ _ [G] and a five chord. _ _ _
Okay, so we're going to do that again.
So
now we're going to take that same progression and enhance it a bit.
The way I like to do
that is let's take the major chord [C] first.
We've got C major.
_ _ _ Now, the C major, since
this is the key of the song, of the progression, _ [A] belongs to the C major scale, which is all
the [C] white notes.
_ _ So what we're going to do is we're going to add the seventh of the [Em] scale,
_ B, [Gb] right here, [A] and the sixth.
[Em] So we're making montuno, using the basic rhythm that we've
been doing for this whole course, _ and enhancing the C, just to give it some movement.
So we
can go, we can start from the seventh. _
_ _ The C chord filler notes are the same.
You've
got E and G, and you're just moving the outer note.
So you're going, _ if the bass is C, you're
going, [C] _ _ _ _
as opposed to doing, _ _ _ _ now you can go.
_ _ _ You give it a slightly more _ jazzier feel. _ _
_ Okay, so you can do that on every _ chord.
I mean, this applies to everything that we've
done.
You should be able to do everything that we've done in all keys.
Say we're on
A flat, here we are, [Ab] _ _ you're there.
You take the A flat scale, it's like this.
[Bbm] _ _ [Ab]
The seventh
degree is just one half [G] step below, [Ab] right here, _ the seventh.
_ And the filler notes, the
notes that were in between were _ [C] _ C and E [Ab] flat.
And you can play the A flat chord, not only
like the plain way, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] but now you can play it with the [F] seventh and sixth movement.
[Ab] You can go. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
