_ _ how do you know I like _ [Am] it?
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] It's got to be based on that tune by the [N] way.
Oh, that's true.
_ _ You've got to do a blues improvisation on that tune.
I don't know how to do it.
_ No, no, [Am] you've got to know
the trick is [N] to do that
and then to do an improvisation on that melody.
So that's what I'm going to do.

and then I'm going _ to _ improvise.
So that's the melody.

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ tricky.

and do an _ improvisation.

I'm supposed to be on the building site of the road, man.
So, I've only got five minutes left.
So, what you've got to do is you've got to keep the melody and the vibes around it. _
_ I always thought I should have been a music teacher, do you know what I mean?
_ _ _ But when you've got improvise, so do you want to have one more go?
_ _ No?
Oh, alright.
I actually think you did really well, so the trick is to get a really simple tune, because
this is his first blues and boogie, right, so the trick is to get the melody like Red
River Valley, which is a traditional sort of American song, which I don't know if you know it.
_ Oh yeah, of course.
You know, so the trick is what I'm saying is _ to improvise it, it's not as easy as you
think, just keep the melody recognizable and you improvise around it so you can always
look at it and say, oh, I've got a melody, I've got a melody, I've got a melody, I've

Like an octave, so you [Gb] can always hear the, no matter what [Bb] the [Abm] improvising you're doing,
so that's what the challenge [N] is, you know what I mean?
So that's, that's what I'm trying to do, you know, so Red River Valley.
I'm trying to do it. _
Thank you, thanks very much, thanks very much.
So that's Red River Valley, it's an American folk song, it's got lyrics as well, to it,
in kind of, I don't know what the lyrics are. _ _ _ _ _
Yeah, so, yeah, are you on holiday, are you? _
No, we're working.
_ I'm in the airworks.
Are you in the building site?
_ No. _ _
_ Jake, you moving?
_ _ No, I'm on my way to the airport.
Right, so we're what?
Oh really?
Oh, I'm on my way to the airport.
_ So yeah, go on, do
