How to Analyze Sharps & Flats in Gb (G Flat) Major

Video Transcript

So, now that we have reading actual melodies down, we're going to go through and look at an actual fake book tune. So, if we look here at our music, notice we have chords up here and we play those with our left hand. As we go through how to find these chords, you're going to have to look up five or six chords if you don't know how to play chords already. But, it's very simple and you can use this same technique to go through and read through any fake book tune and use the same process. It takes a little time, but it really helps you to learn all of this different information. What we're going to do is to go through and play the melody with the chords, but for right now we'll just look at the melody real quick. We have Gb here, so its: one, two, three, four, five, six. This is a Flat seven, and that just means you take the note and the scale and you bring it down a notch, and we can do that. And this is a one. Then we have a Flat 7 again. If a note is flatted or sharped in a measure, it stays that until the end of the measure unless otherwise notated. We have Flat seven, six, five, six, five, three, three, three, four, Natural five, six, seven, six. We'll go through the tune, measure by measure, and do the whole melody and really get it under our fingers. But for right now, we can even play this first passage (plays demonstration on piano). And that's our first passage, and we'll go through and play everything with the chords (plays demonstration on piano). We'll go through and show you how to get all of these chords and play it with this hit melody tune in just a minute.
