Video Transcript

"Now we are going to go over our next 4 measures. Again you want to make sure you are writing them on the staff at home. So if you zoom in and take a look we have A minor for a measure, D7 for a measure and then G major for 2 measures. So it is the same as our first 4 bars except now we are playing it backwards. We have A minor, D7, G major. So we are going to look at the piano again so we have our A minor, D7, G major. So now we can do a little stride piano so let's go over our first 8 measures. If you are in measure chord you want to go root chord, 5th chord, root chord, 5th chord. For the A minor and D7 you just go back between the 2 of them A minor, D7, A minor, D7. A minor, D7, A minor, D7, G major, 5th chord, root chord, 5th chord. The top of the tune. A minor, D7, A minor, D7, A minor, D7, A minor, D7, G major, 5th chord, root chord, 5th chord. So it is a nice simple idea and it really helps to get your left hand down as well so you can go through and do a little stride piano through our first 8 measures of our first tune."
