Video Transcript

So today, we're going to take our B major scale, and we're going to really dissect it out of just that one one major scale that we're going to learn. One simple pattern on the piano will derive four different chords, and then we'll play through one tune which utilizes these four simple chords; chords you'll see quite often if you play any tune that's in B major, out of a real-book. Again, you know you're in B major when you have five sharps. B major has five sharps. And then, we're going to go through and play a B major bebop blues which will give us four more sets of chords which we'll utilize and get under our fingers. Again utilizing the same simple scale, we'll just have to alter it just one or two simple notes, and we'll alter them, and it sounds beautiful, and you get all these hip chords under your hands. Today, we're not really going to focus on melody, we're more just looking at chords, and how to voice chords and get your fingers moving. Then, you can cross-reference and search, we're doing a series on how to read jazz melodies very soon. You can also look up, we already have posted, if you go through and search for B major classical music, it will show you how to read through actual sheet music. Again, everything still applies to this; we use the same method for everything. So, if you can learn it in the classical style, it will just reference straight over as it would for the jazz style, accept you're only really reading for your right-hand which makes things actually a little bit easier. So, this is all the information we are going to utilize today as we go through and get our first couple of chords under our fingers.
