Hi. My name is Jonathon Wilson on behalf of
Expert Village.com, and we're learning how
-
to play an advanced funk groove on the piano.
Last time, we got pretty aggressive with some
-
variations on the pattern and some different
voicing?s. This time we're going to go even
-
higher up from that and completely change
the chord progression, add some intermediate
-
chords. Typically, we've just been doing F-7,
or C-7, to F-7 and back. In this case, we're
-
actually going to completely change it. We're
going to do C-7, walk up to E-flat 7, then
-
play our F-7, walk that up to A-flat 7 and
then back up through B-flat 7, you get the
-
idea, with some little bass patterns that
sort of bring us into those other chords.
-
It's just got a whole different feel from
what we've been doing, but it still fits in
-
the same context. If you've taken it up to
here, now you can take it up to here. Okay?
-
We'll do it very slowly with the metronome
it sounds like this. Okay? So that's the idea.
-
Work this one out again with your metronome;
slowly bring it up a click at a time until
-
you've got it under your fingers. I really
don't have any particular advice other than
-
this is the big section. You really want to
kind of hammer this one. Play it nice and
-
aggressive, really emphasize those extra chords
that we've put in, you know with the little
-
ghosting rolling patterns, those work great.
The hangs that just happen to sit in here
-
are great places to just kind of lay into
things, you know. Don't hold back. Here it
-
is up to speed, with the drums. Like this.
Okay, so that is our second variations on
-
some aggressive changes to our normal groove.
If you really need to get somewhere a little
-
more aggressive, those are some ideas you
can use. Next, we're just going to kind of
-
put it all together.
