Measures 3-4 for Playing a Fake Book Melody in G Major

Video Transcript

Now we're going to look at our next two measures, and we have a couple of chords, don't get discouraged, though, easy stuff. E minor, right, the note below, or alphabetical order below E is D, so this comes out of D major. F sharp comes out of E major, or no, F sharp, this is a seventh chord, and seventh chords come five notes above, so we have, F, E, D, C, B, so this comes out of B major, and if you search for F sharp seven and B major, my first fake book should come up somewhere in there. And then you have G major, and this is our first couple of chords here again, so, don't get discouraged, you're just a minute on each, nothing hard, now we're got our melody here, three, two, three, four, five, seven, six, so we have a dotted half note, one, two, three, four E and-a, the sixteenth note, four E and-a-one, two, there, four, leads you to each half note. So it sounds like this, you can look at my hands here. One, two, three, four E and-a one, one, two, three, four, again, one, one, two, three, four E and-a one, two, three, four, and we have three, two, three, four, five, seven, six. So once you get those chords down you can play this. So our first measure sounds like this. And that's going on to the next couple of measures, which we'll go over in just a minute.
