Lesson #6 - Playing the arpeggio and running notes

This is just a short tutorial, I don’t expect you to follow it fully. This is like an entry point, you should try to get good hold of this skill, for you to build up your foundation to become better in improvisations.

The arpeggio is one of the exam criteria, but I view it as a finger exercise, for both your left and your right hand. You might think it is stupid, but I didn’t realise it, that it had helped me alot. The other exercise is on running notes, as I am not sure know of a proper name (I suppose there is). Look at the video and you should know what I meant!

這是我第六堂鋼琴錄影課﹐ 教大家的是 “arpeggio” 和 “running notes”。 你看了就会明白。

Lesson #5 - Playing Dominant 7 chords

My 5th lesson, on the dominant 7 chords. Well I always regard it as “minor 7″ because if you look at the steps counting, this is 1 step down from major 7, so it felt like a minor 7. Just a correction, its called Dominant Seven!

Anyway this is commonly used in pop music because it gives the song a nicer chord with an just 1 added note, the dominant 7. Not all chords are played in dominant 7, but this helps brighten up the song with a little jazzy and unique way, which is what we call music!

Lesson #4 - Playing Major 7 chords

This is my 4th lesson, and this chord here is usually called major 7th. It is not very common in pop songs, because it must fit in with the playng style, and the music as well. But it does add some special taste if you use it for some chords. It is written as C maj7 on a chord sheet, to indicate the major 7.

Lesson #3 - Playing suspended chords

This is my 3rd lesson, its for the chords sus4 that we normally see in chord sheets. This usually appears before the start of a song, or denote the starting cue for the singer to start. It may also be found at the end of a song.

The sus represents suspended chord while the 4 represents perfect 4th.
