Review keyboard basics: the C major scale on white keys, black-key accidentals, and how each white key forms a triad, e.g., C major, D minor, F major, B diminished.
Explore the drum set basics, placing the bass drum on the heavy beats to groove, then experiment with one-and-three patterns and syncopation.
Learn how to build the major seven chord from a major triad by adding a major third on top, and explore its dreamy, nostalgic color in different keys.
Master the minor seven chord on keyboard, exploring its bluesy, sad flavor built from a minor third and a major third, with examples in C minor7 and G minor7.
Learn how half diminished chords differ from diminished seventh chords, their minus seven flat five naming, and practice building this nuanced chord to hear its bluesy, slightly sad color.
Compose a simple two-bar bass loop, record and duplicate it into a looped foundation, staying rhythmic while avoiding chords or scales for the next lecture.
Analyze the bassline to choose fitting harmony, starting with the bar's first note and trying diminished, d minor, d minor seven, or f major chords. Move between triads and sevenths.
Explore adding the ninth to major seven, seven, and minor seven chords to create a jazzy, open sound; practice voicings with left and right hands and hear the D9 example.
Create a bassline that anchors the track, using F major seven and moving to D, with a chorus of F–G–F, while exploring bass, drums, and harmony for a starting arrangement.
