- This next piece has lots of right hand
kind of string crossing and I put something together for you
that I thought would
yeah basically be a bit of a right hand workout.
When you bring it up to tempo it's actually quite hard
to play in time, um the backing track is fairly brisk
so yeah we're gonna talk through the notes in this lesson
and talk about the right hand of what you need to do
to play this at tempo.
First of all let's look at the notes
it starts on a couple of bars of D dominant seven
so we play like an open D and then a little
blue-zy phrase let's see how that sounds.
On bar.
So look at those notes, D
plus this blue-zy phrase here C, D flat, hammer on
open D, then D flat to C scissor slide and then pull off
and then the G.
So keep practicing that tun ta tun.
Okay, the main phase is G, C,
F, E
let's go for those few parts so, few uh few notes
so C, G,
C, F,
E
G, C,
F, E
Yeah.
So it's G, the next part is G,
B flat, high B flat,
G sharp, A
Next part, or next uh few notes
is E flat, A, C,
D, D,
and then slide from the D flat to the C
and pull off to the B flat.
So let's hear how it sounds in context.
D, D, C,
D flat C,
B flat G.
Repeat.
But this time instead, you just go D, B flat.
First time through.
Second time through.
D, B flat, third time through.
Same as the first
and the last time through
you've got a slightly different fill
Now here were on the A and we go from the A
sliding it to the C.
So we just play the A and then we slide
and our first finger should go above the C or on the note C.
Oops, oh oh.
Let's hear that again
So it's A, C,
C sharp
C sharp holding onto D, C sharp holding off to C
B flat G.
In context
and then back again
So it's exactly, so you repeat the same thing four times
is what with different variations at the end
different fills.
Number one,
number two,
number one again,
number four,
and now you're starting the next
cycle through in all we've done
is play the G as an open G rather than the low G
it helps you with the fill that you've just played.
So, of course there's a backing track provided
you can go and play along with it.
But it is quite a fast tempo so play this really slowly
and work on the right hand.
And that's what I was gonna say,
is if you look at the string crossing
the right hand
is having to really move about
you might want to practice this very slowly in front
of a mirror or maybe with your right hand
just looking directly at your right hand like I was there
and see if you getting tripped up on anything
well there's a lot of string crossing going on there
and that's the thing that will really slow you down.
As well as of course
getting the notes into the fingers in the left hand
Okay, go and give it a practice.
Best of luck with it and I'll see you in the next video.
