F 7th Scale for Piano in B Flat (Bb) for Beginners

Now we are going to go over our 7th chord. And 7th chords are derived out of the 5th degree of the scale. So in B Flat we have B Flat, C, D, E Flat, F. So our F 7th chord right. Again we'll start on B Flat as we look at the keyboard. B Flat, C, D, E Flat, F. So now F is our "one". One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven. And we can start right here, One, Three, Five, Seven. And that's our F7. Again all these chords you need to play in what we call inversion. So I can take the 7th and move it here. So I have Seven, One, Three, Five. Or I can go Five, Seven, One, Three. And such and such. It's all in F7 chord. And you could do that with all the chords. So I can start, play my B Flat Major like this. So now we have our first three chords down. We can play what's called a Two, Five, One. We can go from our Two minor to our Five Seven to our One Major chord. It sounds like this. Two minor, Five Seven, One Major. Again, Two minor, Five Seven, One Major. Two minor, Five Seven, One Major. And that's your Two, Five, One, in B Flat Major.
