Lesson transcript

Lesson Example: Broken and Blocked Chords

Let's move on to the second example.

This time, you'll have the broken chords in your left hand and the blocked chords in your right hand.

Rhythmic Pattern

It'll sound something like:

  • 1, 2, 3
  • 1, 2, 3
  • 1, 2, 3
  • 1st, 2, 3
  • 1, two, three

You may have also noticed a difference in the tonality:

  • The first example was in a minor key,
  • The second example is in a major key.

Practice

You can pause here and practice now.
Then you can come back and try it with me and the backing track.
