"OK, so here we are, keeping in mind that you have to use your foot. Or the bass notes. That's imperative here too. So the simple part we're going to do with our feet. And that's playing just the scale. With our hands you're going to be adding notes and playing chords. But just remember to use your foot. So here I'm just going to show you how to use your left foot to play the C sharp major scale. Now, as you can see we're kind of limited well on, to the range of the scale here. So when you're playing in different keys you may need to change your position of it. I'll give you an example. Here we are on C sharp. Now for me it's comfortable to go to C sharp right here. But if I were in A, or I'm sorry, or a G I would have to, I wouldn't want to go all the way over. So I would come back down and come back up. So here we go. Just using as an example when you play and practice on you own in different keys, it's OK to use what's left at, of the scale at the top, to bring it down at the bottom so you don't run out of space. So here we go back at, in C sharp. So that's just an example of what I'm going to be doing with my foot."
