    For picking the grades I asked my mom pick 4 random numbers between 1 and 7, she just went, “ 4, 2, 7 and 1,” not realising she made me do an octave, and I made sure it sounded beautiful.
    (I’ll even play it for her birthday

  • @emiliocuberos
    @emiliocuberos Před 2 lety

    HI, I'm a beginner :) How (03:14) are those chords Gm11 and Dm11 built? In my ignorance I see some keys missing and some in a different order when I compare those chords with the red pressed keys.

    • @emiliocuberos
      @emiliocuberos Před 2 lety +1

      My own clumsy novice answer: Gm11 “should be” G, Bb, D, F, A and C.
      But I read that “calling something an 11 chord doesn't necessarily mean that all of the extensions will be there, it only implies the presence of extensions. So a 11-chord might or might not have the 3rd, the 5th, and/or the 9th, depending on how it's voiced. But it will definitely have the root, the 7th, and the 11th, plus a selection of the other intervals”. And also Jesús here kind of changes the order of some notes of the chord, which I suppose that is also… voicings? And technically, if “most” the notes of the Gm11 chord are present, it’s still a Gm11.

  • @redispink5784
    @redispink5784 Před 2 lety +1

    Quick question! How do you avoid gaps in your playing? The song I'm learning right now I'm not moving my left hand fast enough to the next key.

    • @andresbienrico
      @andresbienrico Před 2 lety +1

      Remember to also move your wrist and your arm - these should be the ones giving you your movement across wide intervals, instead of the fingers alone. Almost like an invisible string tugs on your wrist to the right or to the left, and your hand - because of how the wrist was tugged by the invisible string - moves at the same speed, in the same direction. Hope it helps!

    • @StiIIGaming
      @StiIIGaming Před 2 lety +1

      Playing the correct note at a slow speed is more important. The speed will come it might just take a few days or even a little longer. Be patient with yourself. You could also just practice that specific jump over and over being as slow as it needs to be to maintain accuracy of course. You’ve got this. 👊🎹

      Eminor
      Fmajor
      Gmajor
      Aminor
      and Bdiminished
