1. Introduction: Hi, you're now in part
two of my course series named the ultimate piano keyboard course from total
beginner to advanced, where you will learn how to
play the piano or keyboard, how to play by ear, and how to read music. My name is Martin Cohen. I'm a jazz, blues
and rock musician, composer and piano teacher. I teach already
more than 25 years. So as I said, this is the second part of
this course series, which by the way consists of a total of ten different parts. That means that if you've previously done part one
of this course series, that this is the right place to continue your piano lessons. If on the other hand, you're a total
beginner on the piano, I would advise you to start with part one of this course series. You will find a link
to part one and the description of this course. Now, if you're not a
beginner at the piano, you might want to start in this or another course of
this course series. In that case, have a look at the description
of this course, where you will see all
of the ten courses in this series with links to
each of the ten courses. And what you will
learn each course and decide yourself in which of the ten courses
you should start. Important however, is that when you start in
one of the courses, I assume that you have
the knowledge and the skills of the former
courses in the series. What will you learn
in this course? So part two of this series, you will learn how to play
piano into tonalities of D, a, E, and B major. You will learn how to
play their skills and you will start playing songs
in those two novelties. Also, you will learn
how to play the D, a, and B major chords. In older versions. We will start applying
those courts in songs. Okay, I'd like to thank
you very much for your interest in my
course and I really hope to see you soon in this or any other course of
this course series.
2. The D major scale - Theory: Hi. Now before
starting this course, just make sure that you download the resource
files to your computer. You can do that by going to the projects and resources tab. And doesn't just click on the link to the resource
files, delta PDF. There you will have a link and
when you follow that link, you can download
the resource files, just store it on your
computer so that you can use it during this course. Okay, let's start. Okay, are you ready for
the next major scale, which is the D major scale. What we're doing
in this lecture, I will display the
major scale formula here above the virtual piano. We start on D. We go up one whole-tone to E, another whole tone,
this time to F sharp. Now, halftone to G. Hold on to a whole tone, another whole tone, and we
have to go to the C-sharp. And finally a halftone
back to our router. D. So D major scale is sharp, C-sharp, D. And you see that the D
major scale consists of two black keynotes, which are the F-sharp
and the C-sharp. Remember that C major
has no sharps or flats. G major has one sharp. Now, we see that D major
has two sharp notes. The F-major scale
at one flip note, we see that there exist
major scales with sharp notes and major
scales with footnotes. And you see that I did it
at purpose to choose first a major scale with
zero sharp notes than one sharp node and
now too sharp nodes. So to C major scale
with zero sharp notes, G major with one sharp note, and D major with
two sharp notes. In our next major scale, I will tell it a bit more about disorder of the
scales that I do. But why didn't I call F sharp
G flat and C-sharp D flat? Now remember the two rules
that you could apply of which you only have to
apply one of the two rules. The first rule says, it may not leave a gap. That's so imagine this
would be a G-flat. Well then you have the
problem that going from E to G flat, there is a gap of the F, the letter F missing. So this has to be an F sharp. Or the other rule. If again, I would
call this G flat, then you would have G flat, g, which is two times
the letter G. Okay, you can say the same
thing about the C-Sharp. I will not do it again. You can do it for
yourself, but again, this has to be a C-sharp
and not a D-flat. Okay, so that's
the D major scale.
3. Practicing the D major scale: Okay, those who have done
my first card course. So I mean, this piano
course, but Part One, know that you can practice the scales with
play along files. You can of course
also use a metronome, but to play along files as much more fun
than a metronome. Of course, those
play a low phos, come in three speeds, 60 beats per minute, 90 beats per minute, 120 beats per minute. Normally you start of course, with 60 beats per minute. But if that is too
quick for you, you can always use your
metronome and go lower in speed. Also, when you are
practicing with the 50, 60 beats per minute
play long file and you want to go to 90
beats per minute, minute. That might be too big step
and then you will have to use your metronome
to put it, e.g. first on 65, then 70, et cetera, until you reach 90. And then you can
use to play along file at 90 beats per minute. So what I want to show you
this lesson is just how to use the metronome and how
to use the play along fans. And I'll start with a metronome. I will put the metronome
at 60 beats per minute. And what I'm going to do is Let it to count to four and then start to play the notes of the D-major scale in
exactly the same speed, the same tempo as that's
the metronome clicks. So well, let me, let me just show you why. So 1234 and on the next click, which is again a one, I start to play her
normally in music we count 12, 341-234-1234,
etcetera. Not in all music,
but in most music. So we're going to
do that here too. So e.g. you can let, let me just put it
on and I will put, I will play the D major
scale one times up and down. So let me show you 234. And you can of
course to, to occur. So let me do that also. 34. Okay. Let me stop that. So that's how you practice
with a metronome. Of course, I show it now
with the right hand, but you'd also your left hand. That works in exactly
the same way. Okay, let me show you how to use the play alone felt
and I will start with 60 beats per minute. Now, the important thing is
that you have playlists, lung file, so in
the three speeds, but you have the mean one
octave and in two octaves. So both the one octave versions and
active versions company to three speech search. So you have six play
along files in total. Now, the important version, the important thing is that with the version of one octave, what you do is the following. You play it first up. Then when you arrive
at the high D, you play it again
and then you go down a little bit
different than what I just did with the
with the metronome. Of course you can do it with a metronome all so if you want, but with the play along files, you must
do it in this way. Otherwise it doesn't fit
with the play along file. Let me just show you
that so I'll put it on the 60 beats per
minute version. By the way. When you put the 60 beats
per minute version on, you have four times. You can play the scale up and down four times
after another. I will show you only one time, so I'll stop it after
the first time. There we go. Also here, there's a metronome
That's clicks four times, four times before it starts. Okay, let me show you here. That's the d. When I arrive at the
top, I played twice, once when I end with going up and once when I
start when going down. So let's do one octave version. Let me also show you. To active version. That's a little bit different. In order that it fits
with the play a low file, what you do is you first
go off with breaker. Once you arrive at the end, you come till two and then
again go down when you arrive to et cetera. Okay, you'll hear it
once. I will play it. So let me just put
it on for you. So did you also count to two? Let me do it once more and
I will count with it too. 342. Okay. Now, there's
two octave version. In the two actors
version play along file. It's played twice the exercise. I said that in the
one octave version, you can play it four times into two up to version two times. So I just let it run and I could show you
the second time. So you hurt that when I arrived, I counted 12 and then
I went back down. Okay, so that's how you play
in 1.2 octave versions. Now, what I will
quickly show you is the 90 beats per minute version and 2120 beats per
minute version. And then I've shown you
everything and then you can play together with the play along files and
with the metronome. So let me show you that. So the 90 beats per
minute version, 234. And then he put it off. That's obviously the one octave version,
two octave version. I will not show you because
it's exactly the same, of course, into
two up diversion. Be sure that you count
until two and then go down. Also, 90 beats per
minute version and 120 beats per
minute version. So that was a 90 beats per minute version. Let
me show you that. 120 beats per minute version. One octave, we go. Okay, You now know how to play
with the play along files. For the other scales
in discourse, I will not explain it anymore. I dare, you know, you can apply exactly
the same method as that I taught you
here in this lesson. See you in the next one.
4. Twinkle Twinkle little Star - D major: Okay, we're transposing Twinkle, twinkle now to D major. The finger positions are
exactly the same as in C major, G major, so that's quite simple. I can do it quite quickly. Now. The only thing
is that there is now a sharp note, the F sharp. Notice that in D major, you have normally the
F-sharp and C-sharp. The only thing is that the
C-sharp is not in the melody, so that's why we don't play it. But the F sharp is. Okay. Let's go. Part one. In part one, we start on D, Of course, because we start to always
Twinkle, twinkle on the route. We start again with
our thumb, finger one, the fifth note of d is a, and the sixth note of the is b. So that's why we
play fifth note, a, sixth note B. And back to the fifth note, a, fingering the same. So d, d a, a, B, B, a, or 11445544. Fingers. Then part two, finger
three on the GI, 332 on the F sharp, one on the E. And you go again with your index finger over
your thumb to the D. That was part two. Let me do it once again. So that's G. G, F sharp, F sharp, E, D, and the fingers, 3322112. Let's go to part three. Fifth finger. So your
little finger on the a. So that's a, a, G, G, F sharp, F sharp, E. And the fingering, 5544332. Then, so that's
twice part three. Then you go back to part one. And finally part two. Now we have transposed Twinkle, twinkle to the key of D major. Now, let me play
with the metronome. Again. I start at 60
beats per minute, but you can start on
whatever speed fits, you. Always slightly increases,
increase the speed. There we go. 1234.
5. Eight days a week - D major: Okay, For the song in D major, I've chosen to song eight
days a week from The Beatles, a very nice song and not
too difficult to play. I will play this song in
140 beats per minute. Now that seems like a lot and very quick,
difficult to follow. Well, actually it's not. The notes are not so very quick. It sounds different. It sounds difficult,
140 beats per minute, but when you see it's not that much and it's easier to follow
than to do it yourself. So that means that you will
have to start yourself slower and then
slightly increase the speed to 140
beats per minute. The song is, as I
said, in D major, as you know, the D major
scale has two black keys, the C-sharp and the F sharp. Now, in the melody of this song, the F sharp is a plate, but the C-sharp is
not played at all. That doesn't mean that it's not in the key of D major when C sharp is not in the melody, it's just, well, it's
not in the melody. The F-sharp is officially, of course in the key of D, you have to C sharp. Now, this song consists of
the three different parts, the verse, the chorus,
and the bridge. So I will do those
three parts with you and tell you later
how many times diverse the course and in
which order, et cetera. Okay, I will start
with the verse and let me play the first
line of the verse. It starts on the F sharp. You can start with finger three, middle finger or
with finger four. It doesn't matter. It's as follows, the first line. And this line is actually
repeated two times. And that's diverse. So what did I do? F sharp, E D E, E B B D G, G, F sharp. One more time. F sharp, E D E, E B, B, D, G, G, F sharp. And that's played two times. And that's the whole verse. The finger positions, as I said, you can start with finger three or finger for let
me now start with finger for 4 323-311-2554. I will play it now
with the metronome. So listen well and look well to the fingers
and two notes. And listen also very
well to the rhythm. Now, if you make errors into
rhythm, it doesn't matter. This is more to practice the scale and to play
a song in that scale. So to play the notes of
the scale in a song, the rhythm, yeah, of
course it's important. But if you cannot manage, if you make little mistakes, It's no point at all. Later. When we do reading music, I will do more the rhythm and then it
becomes more important. If you want. You can, of course,
also look on YouTube, search for this song eight days a week from the
Beatles and listen yourself to Green Bay it
for several times and you will be very
familiar with the rhythm. So, but let me do it
now with the metronome. So as I said, 140 beats per minute, I will start with four beats
and then start to play 1234. Okay, so I played it
twice because in diverse it's also played
twice that line. So that's the first
part, that's the verse. So let's go to the
course. First blades. Okay? So the first part of the course is it theme that
will be repeated. So that's this. He
played ones more. So those two together are the first-line of the
chorus. So what did I play? F sharp, D, E, B. And one more time,
F sharp, D, E, B. For the finger positions, you can do four to three. 14231. Then for the second
line of the chorus, are some more notes
than the first-line. Will play it one more
time, the second line. So that's F sharp, D, D, D E, B, G, G, G F sharp
E D. One more time. I will do it slower. F sharp E D, D E, B, G, G, G, F sharp E D. Let me do it with the metronome. So the first line and the second line of the code of the course, 140 beats per minute for
counts before I start 1234. Okay? You see all the notes are exactly on the beat
of the metronome. So some are
in-between two beats. There's also a rest. Before I do. There's a wrist. You do do you do this? Then there's the wrist. Towards a bit clearer wrist. That's the chorus. The bridge is as follows. Okay, a lot of notes
but not very difficult. I will first do the first line of the bridge that's as follows. So that's E D F sharp, E D E D E D E D B. One more time. F sharp E D E D E D E D B. The second line
of the bridge is, so it's repeats for a big
parts the first line, then the last notes
are different. So it's E, D F sharp, E D E D E D E G. One more time. F sharp E D E D E, D E G. Actually only the
last two notes are, the second line are different than the last two notes of
the first-line for tourists. It's the same. Let me
do the whole bridge. Both lines with the metronome, 140 beats per minute for counts four beats before I start
to bridge the 1234. Okay, so that's the bridge. I think I didn't tell
the fingering yet. Wow, it's simple. You start with three on the E, so that's 3343 to three to three to
three to 11 more time. The first line, 3343 to three
to three to three to one. And the second line, as it is, almost the same as the
first line, it's simple. So again, with three on the e33 4 323-232-3351 more time. 33 432-323-2335. Okay, We did all the
parts of the song, diverse, the course
and the bridge. Now, the whole song
is onetime diverse. Onetime course. Again. First course. Then you have the bridge. Again, onetime verse,
one time course. And you go directly
to the bridge, then verse and chorus. But that's the end of the song. But the thing is that
in the last course, you play the last little
line three times. So when you are in the course, I will play the whole
course with those with that last little
line it three times. So the corners was so you hit that last little line. Does I repeated
that three times? And that's the whole song. I will play just to be sure. The last chorus with, with three, with three times, the last time with the
metronome sitting here. Sure, For the rhythm. There we go. 1234. Okay, In the next lecture, as you know, you are going
to play it with a bent. And you don't actually need the metronome because
the bend is enough. It is like a metronome. You don't even need
to four accounts before because
there is an intro. So the event will
play first the intro, then you play the verse, chorus, verse, chorus,
bridge, verse, chorus, bridge,
verse, chorus with, in the last course, the little theme at
the end three times. And then there is an outro, which the bend place you
don't have to play anymore than just to show
you one last thing. What I will do is
play verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus
with the metronome. And with the last course, I will do the theme, this last little
theme three times. So actually, I play the
second half of the song just to see how you go
from first to chorus, chorus, bridge, from the bridge back to diverse
than to the course. And how to do again those last three times,
this little theme. So listen well, look well. I will do again. I do verse, chorus,
bridge, verse, chorus. And in the last course, I repeat that little
theme three times. Four counts before
I start. 1234.
6. Eight days a week - Playing Together with the band: Okay, in this lecture, I will show you how to play
over the practice file for eight days a week to file it that you will find
in the resources. Now, as I told you before, there is no click track, there is no metronome. So the music itself, the bend That's plays, acts as a metronome. You just have to
follow the band. Also, there will be an intro, so you don't need to four
clicks before the song starts. Let me play for you now, the intro so that you can listen what the
intro actually is. So here it comes, starts. So that was the intro. Now, you can count for yourself. During the intro, I
will show you one time how that works and not
started to song yet. Just show you how it is. So let me play the intro again. And done with Accounting. Dev. We go 1, 2 3 4 1 2 3 4, 1 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 4. Okay? No, you know how to
count before the song starts? Let me play the song now. 1234, 1234, 1234,
1234. There we go. Now. Back to the verse. Before the bridge. Verse. Chorus. Second time bridge. So diverse. Scores. Last line, three times. The second time. Third time.
7. Happy Birthday - D Major: You probably noticed that in D12 songs that we did
already for D major, so that's h days a
week and twinkle, twinkle little star, that we
didn't play all the notes. So I'd like to do
another song in D major where we do
all the notes of the D-major scale
and it's a song, everyone knows, and
that's happy birthday. I will first plate. Okay, So I will break
it up in pieces. So the first line
is very simple. So that's a, a, B, a, D, C-sharp. And you see that I use
those four fingers. 112143. So you keep your hand
in this position. And that same position you
use for the next line, which looks a bit
as the first-line, only the last two
notes are different. So that's a, a, B, a, D. And you see that the
only difference for the fingers is that I use
now those two fingers here. So finger 5.4 finger for, so that's four fingers, 112154. For his second line. I will play both lines. You see, you can keep your fingers to hold
time on the same notes. So that's 12345 on the a, B, C-sharp, D, and E. So one more time, and then we will continue
to the next lines. Okay? Then we go to the next lines
and then we use another we use other finger
positions because you have to spread out a
little bit more your fingers. Because the next line is, so you, you will have to make
one octave with your hand. It's not possible. I think most people can do it, but if you have really
very small hands, then you will have to
make a little jump. But I think that for most
people that's not needed. So a, and then the high F sharp, E, sorry, a, F sharp,
D, C-sharp, B. And you see that the
fingers that I use, I use all the five fingers. 11 543-215-4321. So in a row, 1,154,321.1 time more denotes a, a, a, an octave higher,
F-sharp, C-sharp, B. So that's the third line. And the fourth and
final line is, which are the notes G, G, F sharp, D, E, D. And you'll see that I simply use
those four fingers. 543.155, 4232. So I will play again
the whole song. Look well, listen well, okay, you saw that when
I went from some people, wait here and make it longer. I don't do it
because I will keep the rhythm steady of this song. And then they go on
with the next slide. But I do it in one go, so okay, I will play it
with the metronome and I'll put it on
100 beats per minute. Which is the speed
that is used in the next lecture
where you will play Happy Birthday with the band. Actually, I will have two
versions for you to play. One with 70 beats per minute and one with 100 beats per minute. I think 70 beats per minute is a good speeds to start with. But as always, you have to start slowly and slightly
increase the speed. So I would first practice with the 70 beats per minute file and done with the 100
beats per minute file. But that's for the next lecture. I will first put
the metronome on. But let me first explain how
it works with the clicks. Happy Birthday is a
coal is a song in the so-called three-quarter
time. Three-quarter time. We haven't seen that yet. We will see that when
we do music reading. But it's very simply set. It means that you
count to 312-312-3123. And the metronome is we'll, normally I would do three
counts and then we start. But the melody starts. It doesn't start on the
first count of the measure, so some one on one. It starts on three. So what the metronome is
actually doing is 12312. And when it says three,
you start with a. And then the B starts
on the one of the, of the next measure. So it's 123123, etcetera. Okay, I'll put the metronome on, and so you'll see that
it comes to five, which is three plus two. There we go. One more time. I played it two times because in the practice files
in the next lecture, we're also going
to play two times. Okay? Practice. Well, start slowly, perhaps even slower than
70 beats per minute. You could start at 60 beats
per minutes as usual, or even slower, slower
if you need it. And then slightly
increase the speed to 100 beats per minute.
8. Happy Birthday - Playing Together with the band: Okay, in this
lecture, we will play Happy Birthday with the band. Now, a few things I have to say. That is that, well, you remember the five
counts of the metronome, so that's 123 to
get you prepared. And then the 12 starts
and under three, you start with those
two little notes, 12312311 on the B. So be aware of that. I told it already in
the last lecture. The other thing I
wanted you to know, or we played two times, I already did it twice
in the last lecture. But pay attention that
when you come from the last line of the first time, that's when you hit
that last note that d start counting so that
you will be ready for the first line of the next for the second
time that you paid. So it's 123. So on the three you start
with those two ace. And as you know,
you have to start on three and not on the one. That's what I told
you the whole time. So 1231, etcetera. And then you can continue
with the second, the second time that
you play the song. So I would say, let's start. I will put the metronome on. This is the 100 beats
per minute version. But as you know, you can download in the resources
that go with this lecture, two versions, the 70
beats per minute version and 100 beats per minute
per minute version. Okay, there we go.
9. The A major scale - Theory: So it's time for
the a major scale. But before doing
that, I have to tell you something that I started last lecture to say that the C major scale
has zero sharps. The G major scale, one sharp, D major scale, two sharps. So there's a special order
in which I do to scales. And it's the order of appearance
of the number of sharps. One sharp, G major scale in
two sharps, D major scale. A major scale has three sharps. Yes, it does, but we
will see that later. How is the appearance
of sharp notes related to the order in
which I do the major skills. First of all, I'm doing now only the major
scales with sharps, not the major scales with flats. We come back to that later. We saw one major scale with a flat note and that
was the F major scale. There are other major
scales with footnotes, but it's for later. Now we concentrate from now one, first, the major scales
with sharp notes. Now let me put first the
C major scale here, C, D, E, F, G, a, B, C, then D, the G major scale, G a, B, C, D E, F sharp, G, D major scale, D E, F sharp, G, a, B, C-sharp, D. That are the three major scales with sharps that
we've seen till now. And the note G is the fifth
note in the scale of C major. And you can also see that the fifth note in the scale
of G major is denoted d, and that's exactly the scale, the D major scale,
with two sharps. Now, the a major scale, the node a, is the fifth
note in the scale of D. So would it be to always do
fifth note in the scale? Is the scale with one more
sharp note, or otherwise said, when I go up, Does this scale, the major scale of that node has one more sharp than
the previous scale. Well, the answer is yes. So we can expect that the a major scale has three sharps and we will
see that in awhile. So always when you go up, then you can expect
in a major scale, one more sharp note. Okay? So that explains a little bit to the order in which I
do the major scales. So let's have a look
at the a major scale. Again, you see the
major scale formula here above the virtual piano. We start on the node a. We go up a whole tone to be
a whole tone to C-sharp, halftone to D. A
whole tone to E. A whole tone to F sharp. From F sharp, a whole tone
up brings us to G-sharp. And finally, we need a halftone to arrive
back to our roots. So again, the a major scale, or the notes, F-sharp, G-sharp. Now again, the sharp notes
at three sharp notes, we see there, there are three sharp notes,
just as expected. Sharps, F-sharp, G-sharp. Now, you can find out yourself, I think with one
of the two rules, that this note is not a
D flat, but a C-sharp. This node is not a G
flat, but an F-sharp. And this note is not
an A-flat, G-sharp. Okay, Now that we
sold the a matrix Q, My question to you is, could you find out yourself what our next major
scale will be? So the major scale
with four sharps, you can pause the video
and when you're ready, then put a video back on and
I will tell you the answer. Okay, I hope you found it. The right answer is E. E is the fifth note in
the scale of a major. E major is a major
scale with four sharps, and that's next majors
can we're going to see.
10. Playing the A major scale on the piano: Hey major. Now, a major
is again like C major, G major, D major. This same finger position. So I will do it even quicker
than that I did D major. So I will just play
all the scales only once and tell you
the finger positions. And that's all if you, if it's too quick for you, just go back into video
and see it again. But again, it's exactly the same as the scales that
we've seen before. So nothing difficult. So there we go. 334. That's one octave up and down. 4323. So that's one
octave up and down. Let's do two octaves. 334, no, don't use your
pinky but your thumb, 1312345. And down, 543-21-3133. Okay. That's the right-hand. Let's do the left hand. I will start one octave below. So that's three. And down 13345. So let me do two octaves. Let us continue. You use your ring finger for 33 and down, 1231234. Don't use your pinky now, but your thump, 3234. So that's a major on the piano. And of course also here, you can practice
with the play along files that you will find in the resources
of this lecture.
11. Twinkle Twinkle little Star - A Major: Okay, Twinkle, twinkle
transposed to a major. So we start now on the a, on the root, as always. Now perhaps you
noticed that if I keep doing the same finger
positions as we did in C, G, and D major. That I have a little problem
because many of these a, a, D, E, F sharp, F sharp, E. But now when I put my
ring finger on the E and then my little finger on the F-sharp. It's very difficult. I have to bend my
handover to be able to put my little finger
on the F-sharp, it's perhaps easier to use finger three sort of
middle finger on the E. Look what happens. One on the a, 13 on the E. And then
you can go with for, with your ring finger
on the F sharp, and that's much easier. So again, part one, a, a, D, E, F sharp, F sharp, E. The finger
positions 111-23-3443. Now we go to part two. So we were left with finger three with the middle
finger on the E. Not the most easy way is to
go with finger one on the D. Then go with your middle finger
over your thumb to the D, it's to the C-sharp, be B. So again, parts two
is with your thumb, finger, one on the D, d, D, C sharp, two times width. Three, d, two times
with finger two, and a, with finger one. Again, D, D,
C-sharp, C-sharp, B. B, a. And 40 fingers, 1133221. That was part two. Let's move to part three. Little finger on the E. So that's E. E, D, D, C-sharp, C-sharp, B, for the finger
positions 5544332. So this part three,
is it, repeat it. You do it two times
again to part one. Remember, we now go from the
three to the one on the D, with the three on the C-sharp. And that's the whole song
transposed to a major. Okay, let me do as
one's work with the metronome on 60
beats per minute. 1234. Okay. Now when you find
other positions that go better with your hint,
that's no problem. But I think for most people, dose finger positions for
a major are the best.
12. Obladi Oblada - A major: Okay, For this song in a major, and we're going to apply
D or bladder again. So from the Beatles, song consists also of
three different parts. The verse, the
course, and a breach. And let me play first, let me start first
with the verse. I'll play it first. Okay, It's quite
long, the verse. So let me break it up in pieces. The first piece we're
going to do is this. What did I do here? C-sharp, C-Sharp,
C sharp, C sharp, be a, G-sharp, B, B. Once more. And then di, di, di, di, di, di C-sharp. Be a more time. I will play the two
little parts together. So for the finger positions, 333-33-3212, 1 144-444-4321. Okay. The next part of
the verse is as follows. So that's ie, D, C-sharp, D E, F-sharp. And 40 fingers, 5 555-554-3123. And then the last little part. So that's the next
notes, F-sharp, C-sharp, E, G-sharp, B, D, C-sharp, B, a. And for the fingers,
3 212-321-4321. That's the whole verse. I will play it now
with a metronome. The song isn't 117
beats per minute. The next lecture where
you're going to play with the band that will be in
117 beats per minute. Of course, as always, you start slower and
slightly increase the speed. So let me put on the metronome and I'll leave it for four
clicks and then start. Okay, so that's diverse. Let's move on to the course.
I will first play it. You'll see that
the first, sorry, the chorus consists of two
parts that are the same. So what did I play? A C sharp E, a C-sharp, E. And one
more time, a C-sharp. C-sharp. C-sharp, be a. One more time. A C-sharp, C-sharp, E. C-sharp, E, G-sharp, D, C-sharp, B, a. The fingering, 123-123-1235. Then you go with finger four
on the E for three to 4321. Okay? And this theme is
repeated one time, so in total twice its plates. And that's how you play
this as the course. Okay, let me play it
with the metronome. I will leave it for awhile
and then start to play. Okay, there we go. So was the chorus, then the bridge as follows. Okay, So that's, well,
it's two different lines, but they're almost the same, only in the ends there, a little bit different. So what did they
play in the bridge? A, D, E, F sharp. F sharp, a, D, F-sharp, C-sharp. That's the first
line of the bridge. And the second line, it
begins exactly the same rate. So a D, F sharp, F sharp, a, D, F-sharp, C-sharp, G-sharp, D, C-sharp B. So for the fingering as follows, 1 234-345-2412, that's the first line. And the second line
starts the same way. 1, 2 3 4, 3, 4, 5, 2, 4 1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 1. Okay, as always,
with the metronome. So I leave it for a while and
then start. I will start. Okay, so you'll see that sometimes when I play it's
in-between two beats. Yeah, you will have to listen perhaps several
times to this, you can rewind, etc, to clearly understand how the
rhythm is, how I play it. With the metronome. Of course, as always, you can download the song, Oh bloody apply
that from YouTube. Listen to it several times
until you know it really well. And that will really
help you to play it. Okay? Now, this song has a little bit same structure
as with eight days a week. It's again verse chorus, verse chorus than the bridge. Again, verse chorus, then
directly to the bridge. And you end with verse chorus. Now, the last course, like was the case
with H days a week is a little bit
different in the end. So let me play that also. So what do you play
in the last chorus? So you start the same way, again to same line. And done, it started. There is a sort of end line. So actually you pay
the whole course. And then there's a
last line as follows. So what was that line? F sharp, F-sharp. G-sharp, F-sharp. F-sharp, C-sharp, B, a. I will play it with
the metronome. So what I will play is the whole last chorus
with that ending line. Okay, I leave the metronome and I will start at
a certain moment. And that's the whole song.
13. Obladi Oblada - Playing Together with the band: In this lecture you will go into play 0 blood the blood
out with the band. So how does that go? Well, first of all,
the band plays a little intro and
then you start. Now, I will show you how
that little intro acidic. You know, where are
you have to start? Here it comes. Okay, so after
this little intro, you start, you will
hear it better ones. I will play it for
you in awhile. Again. What was the structure? So verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus,
bridge, verse, chorus. After the last chorus you have the ending line. And
that's the whole song. So I would say, just listen and look
to how to do it, and then you can do it
yourself with the file. Debts is in the resources. Chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, verse. Course. The rich. During the course. The last line.
14. The E major scale - Theory: Okay, The E major scale, and as you know, we can expect four sharps in the
E major scale. So let's start. So we start on E. Go up a whole tone, F-sharp, another whole
tone to G-sharp. Now a halftone, a whole tone to be that our
whole tone to C-sharp, another whole tone to D-sharp, and finally, a halftone
up to our root. E. D, E major scale consists of the notes F-sharp,
G-sharp, C-sharp. And as you see, indeed, there are four sharps. End. Can you find out what
our next major scale will be? The major scale
with five sharps. So pause the video and
try to find it out yourself and I come up with
the answer in some seconds. Okay, so a fifth up from E, or it can also say the fifth note in the
scale of E major is B. So the B major scale, the scale with five sharp notes, will be the next major
scale we will do.
15. Playing the E major scale on the piano: No. Also, E major is again very simple because again,
finger positions, or the same as was the
case with C major, G major, D major, a major, it's all the same. So again, I will do it
quickly. So there we go. 133. That's up and down. 33. Okay, that's one octave. Now, two octaves. 334 instead of your
pinky, use your thumb, 1312345 and down, 543-21-3133. You see it's simple when you, once you know all
the other scales. Of course not the F-major scale where you remembered
it was different. Okay, yeah, let me do the left-hand first
one, octave 533. So that's up. Let me directly do down 33. Okay, that's one octave. Let me do two octaves. 3331. So that's up and
down, It's 1234. Don't use your pinky, whereas as was the case with one-off batch, use your thump. 33. So that's you play E
major on the piano. Now of course, if it
went too quick for you, then just go back into
video. That's the advantage. Video. You just can go
back and look again and you can see how it was done. Okay, see you in
the next lecture.
16. Twinkle Twinkle little Star - E Major: Okay, transposing Twinkle,
twinkle to E major. Now the finger
positions for Twinkle, twinkle in E are the same as the finger positions for
Twinkle, twinkle in a. So let's have a quick
loop. Started of course, on E. Now, the fifth note
in the key of E is the b. So we go from a to b, so that should be the
third finger, of course. The sixth note is the C-sharp. So our first part will be E, E, B, B, C-sharp, C-sharp B. The fingering, 1133443. Now for part two,
as with a major, and we go with one
with a thump on the a, on the fourth note of the scale. Then we go with
our middle finger over our thumb, to the third. To the third of the
scale, so G-sharp. So let me do parts to again, start with one on a,
three on G-sharp, F-sharp, E, a, a, G-sharp, G-sharp, F-sharp, F
sharp, e113, 3221. So that was part
two. For part three. Same thing as with
the other scales. Five on the fifth note of
the scale, which is the B. B, B, a, a, G-sharp, G-sharp, F-sharp, or for the
finger positions 5544332. So part three again, two times and we're
back to part one. And part two. Again with the metronome, 60 beats per minutes
or whatever speed you want to begin with. 1234.
17. Isn't she lovely - E Major: Okay, let's do a
song in E major. I chose. This. Isn't she
lovely from Stevie Wonder? Not a very difficult song. Of course, we have
several sharp notes in the key of E. We
have four sharp notes. We don't pay them all.
So let's see, we start. I will just play it one time. You might know it. And that's all. It actually is. While you can call a diverse and of course, let's
call it like that. So let me start with the verse. So that's this part. Twice. So the notes are as follows. G-sharp, G-sharp, F-sharp.
And you repeat that, G-sharp, G-sharp,
F-sharp, and C-sharp. So that whole line is
repeated for the fingers. So I start on for with with finger four on
the G-sharp for 5432. Now, when that
repeat this theme, I do a little bit different on the E. So I do again for 543, but then I go with a one on the E so that I can
go with finger two on the C-sharp and with
finger one, the B. So again, I will do it
with the metronome. The song that you will play with bent in the following lecture is on 119 beats per minute. I will do also 190
beats per minute. Now, you start, of
course, slower, slower. Now there is one little
difficult thing. And that is that
it doesn't start on the first beat of the measure. Now
what is the measure? You will learn that later
in the, in the lessons, in the part about reading music. But for now, you're hurt me very often come to
count until four. Onetime also to three, but mostly it's to four. Now, 1234 is one measure, and it starts again, 1234. So quite often a melody starts on the one
of the measures, that first beat of
the measure, we say, now this song doesn't
start on one. It starts on the three. So 1234 on the three it starts. So what we do very often is to let the metronome play 1234, again, 12, and then
we start on three. So we would have 123412. Let me show this
with the metronome. So I will here it's six times. It doesn't mean, it doesn't
mean two times three, it means a whole
measure of four beats. And the first two beats
of the next measure, and you start on beat
3119 beats per minute. There we go, 123412. And that's diverse. Okay, so are you
ready for the course? The course is as follows. Okay, So which
notes that I play? G-sharp. B. B, G sharp, a. B, a G-sharp, G-sharp, F-sharp, E, F-sharp, C-sharp, G-sharp, G-sharp,
F-sharp, C-sharp, E. So the first line of
the course is G-sharp, a, B, B, G sharp a, B, a. His little parts. And the fingering is 34553454. And on the second line
of the chorus is, so that is G-sharp, G-sharp, F-sharp, E, F-sharp, C-sharp. And for the fingers, 33211212. So we have now this for the first two
lines of the course. And then the last
line of the chorus. It looks a bit like the
verse That's as follows. So that's G-sharp, G-sharp,
F-sharp, C-sharp, B, E. And for the fingers, for 5431213. Devin, eventually also. And on the two doesn't matter. Same thing. So let me do it
with the metronome. Also. You have to start on beat three of
the second measure. So you will hear the
metronome do six clicks, which is actually 123412. And the three of the
second measure, you start. So there we go. 12341 door. And that's all there
is in the song. Now, this verse and chorus, they repeat each other. So verse, chorus,
verse, chorus, etc. So again, you start to play
it slowly and slightly increase the speed until
you are at a speed of 119 beats per minute. Remember, if you make little mistakes in a rhythm,
it doesn't matter at all. For now, it's
important that you get the notes of the melody.
18. Isn't she lovely - Playing Together with the Band: Knowing this lecture
you're going to play, Isn't She Lovely
together with a bent? Now, the bend plays
quite long intro. And after this, into
the end of the intro, you will hear some instruments
play very, very low level. You here, it's play the theme. And after that theme, you'll have to start, but let me play
it first for you, the band, and I will
tell you where to start. Here we go. Here's the middle theme. Second-time theme,
here yesterday. Okay, so now you know
where you start to play. You have to play diverse and the chorus and
again differs in the course. And then that's the end. So two times reverse course. And at the end, the bent plays a little
outro, very short. And that's the whole
song. So let's do it.
19. The B major scale - Theory: So we will start with
the B major scale. So let's start on
the note B or root. We go one whole-tone
up to C-sharp. Again, a whole tone
up to D-sharp. Now we're going to go
a half tone up to E. Whole tone, F sharp. Again, a whole tone to G-sharp. Another whole tone to a sharp, and finally, halftone up to
our route, an octave higher. So the major scale is sharp, sharp, F sharp, G
sharp, a sharp, B. You see we have five
sharps into B major scale. Now, again, I will ask you what will be our
next major scale? The major scale with six sharps. Okay, pause the
video for now and I give you the answer after that. Okay? Now, the next major scale with six sharps is the
F-sharp major scope, since F sharp is the fifth
note in the scale of B major. But perhaps you think,
hey, wait a minute, but there are only five different black
keys on the piano. How can a scale have six
different black keys? That's impossible when there are only five different keys on
the piano keyboard available. Yeah, you're right. Well, we will see
that when we will do the F sharp major scale. But our next skill is not going to be the
F-sharp major skew. Why not? Well, we have seen till now all the major scales
with a white key route. So all the major scales
that start on a white key. We started with C, F, and G, then we went on with D, a, E, and finally,
in this lesson B. So those are all
the major scales that start on a white key. Major scales with
a white key root. Six of them are major scales
that have sharp notes, and one of them,
the F major scale, is a major scale
with a flat note. We've seen in total
seven major scales. Now. As you know, there are 12
different notes on the piano, so there are five notes left, which are all black keynotes. So our next scales will have a root note that
start on a black key. Now since we've seen
six major scales that have sharps
in their skills. And only one major scale, the F major scale, with flats, well, one flat in
the major scale. We will first continue to
do major scales with flats. So that's why our
next majors can, will not be the F
sharp major scale.
20. Playing the B major scale on the piano: Okay, it's time to see how the beat major scale is
played on the piano. Now for the right-hand, nothing changes because that's exactly the same as what we
are used to pass over C, G, D, et cetera. All of those scales have
the same fingering. Same thing for B,
for the right hand. The left hand is a
little bit different. But let me start
with the right hand and I will do it quickly. So you see the same as you're used to. And back 533. Okay, That was one octave. Let me do two octaves. But for now, don't
use your pinky with, as was the case, as is the
case with one act of bit. Use your thump. Find. It's easy once you know
all the other scales. Going back 543213. So the right hand,
nothing difficult. It's as you're used to have only that you use a little
bit more black keys. But once you know the notes in the scale than the fingering
is exactly the same thing. Which is not the case
for the left hand. Because with the left hand we
don't start with our pinky. Let me start. So let
me show you what would happen if I would start with
my pinky, then we would do. But Dan Yeah, we would use have to use finger
one on the F-sharp done I have to move my hand in a very uncomfortable way
or I have to slide up my, my index finger and then my
my thump on the F sharp. But all that is not a
very practical way, not a very comfortable
way of playing the scale. So that's why we don't start
with our pinky on the beat, but we will start
our ring finger with finger number
four on the beach. And dead. We do. Sorry. And dad are using again
finger force or remove our ring finger over
our thump to the F-sharp since two
times 432-14-3213. So you can try
that out yourself. Let me go down now. As always, that's the same thing as going up but then in reverse order. So that's why with
your thumb under your ring finger on the
E. Three for two times. 12341234. Let me do it again. 143. Okay, so that's one octave. So let me go up two octaves. Now. We started in the same way for three runs. So till now it's just like as if we were doing one octave, but to grow while we move our middle finger over
a thump on the C-sharp. So free for the rest is the
same as we're used to with B. Let me do that one more time. Dad, 33. Okay. So it's time to grow
down two octaves. And as always, that's the
same thing as going up, but in reverse order. So we start with finger
one on to be 13413. Now we don't end with our
ring finger on the BBA. Instead we go with our
thump on the b134. Let me do that again. 12343. So in this way you can play the B major scale on the piano. So again, in the
right-hand is exactly the same as that we
were used to as with C, G, D, a, E are all the same. Finger position.
Finger position. So that's also for beat the
case with the right-hand, not with the left-hand
has so be aware, don't start with your pinky, but start your ring finger. Okay. See you in the next lecture.
21. Twinkle Twinkle little Star - B Major: Okay, Twinkle,
twinkle in B major. Now this is a bit different than all the other
Twinkle, Twinkle. So of course, we start on the first note of the B major
scale, which is the beat. And we play part one as follows. So, you know that's
the fifth note in the scale of B
major is the F sharp. So to sixth note is the G-sharp. So the notes are B, B, F sharp, F-sharp,
G-sharp, G-sharp, F-sharp. And you see that my
fingering here is 1133443. So that's part one. Part two. So I end it with
the three on the F sharp. So I go on with one E, two times e. Then I go with my middle finger
on the D-Sharp, index finger on the C-sharp, and one, so the thumb on B. So again, E, E, G-sharp, D-sharp,
C-sharp, C-sharp, B. And for two fingers, 1133221. So that's part two. Part three is as follows. For the F sharp, two times, then, one on the E, three. So go with your middle
finger over your thumbs. Three on D-Sharp.
On the C-sharp, again, for the F sharp. So that's F sharp, F sharp, E, E, G-sharp, D-sharp, C-sharp. And for the fingers, 4411332. So let me play the whole song. And I will now do it
without a metronome. You can do it yourself
with a metronome. Just part one to
two times three. And again, part
one and part two. That's the whole.
So there we go. 1 3, 3 4, 4 3 1, 1 3 3 2 2 1 4 4 1, 1 3 3 2 4 4 1, 1 3 3 2 1, 1 3 3 4, 4 3 1, 1, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1. So this is a quite special one. But if you forget, you can always review the
video or you can see it above the virtual piano where I put also the
finger positions. Start with 60 beats per minute. So do it with your metronome and slightly increase the speed. As always.
22. Exercise: The C, D, E, F, G, A & B Major Scales: Okay, so in this lesson
you are going to train with the major skills. The major skills that
you've seen till now. In this course, you have done C, D, E, F, G, a, and b. So that's actually
all the major scales that have a white key route. So to do so, in the
resources of this lecture, you have a PDF file. So let me go to the PDF file. So there I am, and I just click on the
link, major scale exercise. And that brings me
to my web browser. You'll see here an exercise. So just click on Start
Quiz and it asks e.g. for the G major scale. So what you have to do is to click on the notes of
the G major scale. G, a, B, C, D, E, F sharp. But let me say that I
make a mistake and I say f and g. Now, if you see your mistake, you just click again on the
F. It becomes white again, and you click on the
right note, F sharp. So if you make a mistake, just click again and it will
not be highlighted anymore. Then click on Show
Answer and you see we got the right answer. All right, click
Answer, height, answer. Done. Next question. And you go on and
on in the same way. Now the computer chooses
the questions randomly. So it can be that you click on Next question and you'll get exactly
the same question. Then click again
on Next question. Let me go see here. Now I click twice
on D major scale. On next question, I got
twice the D major scale. Okay, so for how long should
you do this exercise? Well, depends. As long as you
think is necessary, as long as you think is
necessary to master the skills. Alright? Okay, so do the exercise, and I'll see you in
the next lecture.
23. The D major triad: So after all those scales at a, D major, a major, E major, and B major scales
were finally back to courts and dry it's in our case. We will do D major
triads in this lesson. Now remember how major
triads were formed. There were formed by
the first, third, and fifth note of
the major scale, the D major scale, in this case, the first, third and fifth are also the
root major third and fifth. So what are they in
the case of D Major? Well, you'll see the D
major scale displayed here. The first, third, and fifth
notes of the D major scale, or the D, the F sharp and D, a. D major triad is formed
by those three nodes, D, F sharp, and a. So let's have a look
at the piano keyboard because we're going to play
it on the piano, of course. So this is the D major
triad in root position. Since the root is at the bottom. Of course, we can
also make inversions. This is the first inversion
of the D major triads, where F-sharp, the major
third, is at the bottom. This is the second inversion
of the D major triad, where eight fifths
is at the bottom.
24. Blowing in the Wind in G major: We're going to play
blowing in the wind. Know in the key of G major. You remember perhaps that we played blowing in
the wind before, in the key of C major. We used in C major, the courts, C Major, F major, G major. And I hope that you
remember that we called C major the one chord, F major, the four chord, G-major to five courts. Again, since the piece was
in C major, C denotes C, which is the root of tonality in which the
song was in C major, is called the one chord. F is the fourth note
in the key of C, So debt was called
the four chord, and G is the fifth note, 12345, in the key of C. So
that's why we call that G major chord. Now, we're going to play blowing in the wind
in the key of G, G major, which means that g, G major is now our one chord. G-major. The four chord. Well, let's look at
the fourth note in the key of G major, 1234. Hey, it's C major. C major is our forecourt. Know both G major and C Major,
we've seen them before. But are five chord, 1345. The fifth note in the key
of G and G major is D. And D major is the court to
try it that we just learned. So we're going to practice with those three courts,
those three triads. Remember, one chord, G-major. The forecourt is node C major, and the five chord, D major. We can do several exercises
to practice those courts. And of course, it's the nicest to do is to
do it in a song. So that's why we're doing it
here in blowing in the wind. So we transposed
blowing in the wind to the key of G major. Now, the first exercise
we're going to do is just playing the root positions. So G, C, and D Major, I will put on the band,
which by the way, you can find, of course, in the resources of this
lecture. So there we go. Okay, So those were
the root positions. Now, of course, if you want, you can add the left hand. I also like to play
with the G chord. In your right hand. The
g with your left hand. You can do it with
your pinky, e.g. with the C chord in
your right hand, you play to see your left hand. You can do it with
your index finger. And I'm with the D chord in your right hand to D major
chord, D major triad. You can play with your thump, the D in your left hand. Okay, next exercise,
which you can do is to find inversions. So e.g. what are
three inversions? Dots are not far from each
other. Well, you could do e.g. the ISA reposition. See in second inversion,
first inversion. Those are not far
from each other. You could do also, well, let me say, gee, first inversion, root
position, second inversion. Well, you can do
whatever you want. I played it now
with left hand, but You can, of course, first start with only your right hand. So to keep, only have to
concentrate on your right hand and later at also
your left hand. Also, what you could do is, as we did for C major version. But now in G-Major, first do inversions that are on this side of the
piano for the first time. That's diverse and of
course our plates. So e.g. when you play Windham, second time, the course and the verse or
diverse in the course. Our plate, platelet little
bit higher up, so e.g. but you can find your own
inversions, of course. Now to finish, let me
just show you e.g. this last thing that I
said that you could do. So first the
inversions here a bit lower and later some
higher inversions. But as I said, you can invent many exercises. If you only wants two to
practice the first inversions, then only play first
inversions, e.g. or only for second inversions. An other mix of inversions,
it's up to you, but it's good to
breakfast in this way. You try, it's in
older inversions. So I'll put on the bed again. And I will play first. The first time, a
bit lower courts, at the second time, a bit higher. So there we go.
25. The A major triad: Okay, Are you ready
for the major triads? So again, we need to first, the third and the fifth of
the scale, a major scale. So to route the major
third and a fifth. And you see the, a
major scale here. And you see that the first, the third, and the
fifth notes are a, C sharp and E. So the a major triad
consists of the nodes a, C sharp and E. We're going to play
it on the piano. So this is the root position. A root is the lowest note. This is the first
inversion, C-sharp major. Third in the scale of a
major is at the bottom. And this is second
inversion, where E, the fifth in the scale of
a major, is at the bottom. So that's the a major triad.
26. Blowing in the Wind in D major: Let's do blowing in
the wind in D major. So to see what art
14.5 courts are. Well, the one chord is obvious, that has always said D, D major. Now, when we look at the
D major scale and we go, and we're going to do fourth
note in the D major scale. So 1234, it's G. So that
means that G major chord, and of course the five chord, five is then a major. So what you could do that is, so playing again with
the play along file, which you can find as always, in the resources
of this lecture. So you could first play
the root positions, e.g. you could after that also
played with the left hand side, that means the
root nodes G, e.g. play the D also
lower if you want. Okay? Of course, you can, instead of playing
just a root position, also, play other inversions. So what I will let me say e.g. let me do only the
right-hand so that you can concentrate on the right-hand
and the left-hand. D in root position, a in first inversion
and second inversion. That's a possibility. Or you do d in first inversion, G in root position, and a root position, or even in second inversion. Nice combination. Well, of course you can
find your own combinations. You know that for now, I will just play with
the play along track, and I will play also
left hand for now, just the root nodes. But you can start only with
your right hand, of course. And later, if you feel comfortable with it at the
root nodes and your left hand. Okay, So I will put it on. Okay? So you invent your own exercises
here, as I said to, you can do to read
positions or you can take other inversions
for his right hand down you add the left
hand is the bass notes. And what is very important, I don't know if I told
you in last lectures when we did the G major version. It's also very important that you do the courts
and your left hand. Your right hand
just does nothing. Normally you would
play the melody e.g. but that's for now. It's still a little
bit too difficult. So try it. Title so it with
your left hand here. So e.g. like this is the
first inversion of the D major chord
in root position. And you can do e.g. a major chord in
second inversion, or you can also do
it in conversion. Anyway. Most important, also
try your left hand and try several combinations
of inversions as that acute breakfast. Well, left hand, right hand. And of course, dose know
strides in older inversions. Okay. See you in the next lecture.
27. The E major triad: So time for the E
major triads now. Well, actually I thought you've seen now several
times how it is done, how you can find
out what to try. It's the major triads are. So I thought it's perhaps a good idea that you
find it out yourself. And of course I will give you the answers at the
end of this video, but I would say go to your piano and try to find out the notes of
the major tight. And not only that, also tried to find out what
the three positions are. So two root position, first inversion and
second inversion. So go to your piano now, pause this video and
after the pulse, I will tell you the answers. Okay, I hope you found it, but what's not so very
difficult. So there we go. The E major triad
in root position consists of the
nodes G-sharp, B. The E major triad
in first inversion, or denotes G-sharp B, E. And finally, the E major
triads in second inversion. R denotes G-sharp. So that's the E major triads.
28. Blowing in the wind in A major: Blowing in the wind in a major. Okay? First of all, I'm not again, playing the song for you
with the play along file. You've seen it now
several times. You've seen it in C major, G major, D major. It's the whole time,
the same thing only with other 14.5 chords. So I will limit myself now
to just tell you what the 14.5 chords are in
the key of a major. And then you can
play it yourself. Okay, the one chord of a major. Now, to find the four
and the five chord, we're going to look what the fourth and fifth nodes are in the a major scale, scale. Sorry. So hey, the four
chord is D major. And of course, the five chord, 2345, then E major. So the one chord, a major, four chord, D major, the five chord, E major. Now of course, you're going to practice with
several inversions. You can, of course, starts with doing just a root positions. First, only right hand. You can later add
the left-hand test. So with the a chord, in your left hand,
with the D chord, your left-hand thing
with the E chord, the E in your left hand. Of course, as I said, you can make several
combinations of inversions. Let me say e.g. you start with a, well, let me start now with the one
chord in second inversion. This oldest in second inversion. First inversion and E, Well, you can take it e.g. just in root position. That's one possibility. Of course you can make
other combinations. I don't know. A in first inversion,
d, z position, and then G either
in root position or in second inversion. Well, et cetera, you invent
your own inversions. So let's first just only left her right hand and then you add the left
hands to bass notes. And of course, don't forget to also practice the courts
with your left hand. So a e.g. in root position,
second inversion, e.g. and E in first inversion. But try other combinations also. Okay, enough to practice. See you in the next lecture.
29. The B major triad: And of course, you
guessed it already. You're going to find
out yourself what's denotes r of the B major triads. And of course, not only denotes, but also the three positions, root position, first inversion,
and second inversion. So you can pause the video now. Okay, so there we
go. Root position. There denotes D-sharp,
F-sharp, first inversion. And those are Denotes
sharp, F sharp. And finally, second inversion, which are A-sharp, B, D-sharp.
30. Blowing in the Wind in E major: It's now time to play blowing
in the wind and E major. So again, I will not
play it for you. You're going to do it yourself. I just tell you what
the 14.5 courts are. So obviously, the one chord is, of course, E major. And when we go in D major
scale to the fourth note, 13, that brings us to a. So a major is the four chord. And of course, in
the fifth node into E major scale is
12345, That's B major. B major is the five chord. Now, I repeat the one chord. I will play it with
the left hand. E is the one chord, the four chord, and b, sorry, b is the five chord. So you're going to use that to play blowing in the
wind in E major. Again. You can do first e.g. let me start with
a root position, one, phi E a B. Then you can do combinations. I don't know where to start. This E in first inversion root
position and then be e.g. in second inversion. But of course, as always, you'll find also were
also other inversions. Then add your left-hand edge. So add a, B, the E, B, E, a and B major triads. Of course, don't forget to play also the courts with
your left hand. So e.g. E. B. B, or B. E.g. try that out yourself with the play along
file that as usual, you can find in the
resources of this lecture. Okay, see you in the next one.
31. Exercise: The C, D, E, F, G, A & B Major Triads: Okay, in this lesson
you're going to train, try it's the major triads
in older three inversions. And you will do to try it's
of all the white key routes. So C, D, E, F, G, a, and B. To do so, go to
