Playing Measures 1 - 4 for Piano Improvisation in F

Now we're going to go through our first four chords of our tune, and again you want to notate this down at home as we go through. We start right here, we have F major for two measures, and if you don't have manuscript paper you can just use blank paper, draw the bar lines. F major, two measures, G minor for a measure, then C seven for a measure. So we have our one major, our two minor, and our C seven. So it's the first chord we learned, the second chord and the third chord. All very nice, simple things to get under our fingers. So we're going to play them on the keyboard now. If you look, we have F major for two measures. G minor, C seven, repeat. F major. G minor. C seven. F major. G minor. C seven. And that's the first four measures of our tune in F, again make sure you're writing all this down at home.
