Right, beautiful. Yeah, I think it was. Alright. So in this example, we're doing a little bit more of an advanced step, which is creating a predictable pattern of chords and rhythm. So that when someone is improvising, you can you can start to rely on what's coming next. So we're stepping away from just saying in one quarter, we're moving into using two chords.

So maybe Kenny, can you explain what chords you're playing and in what how long we were playing? Well, we played a bar of G and then another bar of G. So there's a pair of them and then a pair of C's on top of that. And what I like about that is it gives us the time by staying on the chord for two bars, you've got more time to really feel and hear the sound of the chord and find the notes that you want. But the great thing to know about improvising when you're making when I made up melodies is that most of the melody notes of the scale will sound good on either of the chords. So one of the things that I did when I was playing you, if you listen again to the solo I took was repetition and to be able to just find a simple note and repeat it is one of the best ways to start your story.

Start your solo, you know, because it is so much like like, like telling a story. It's like making an introduction to a character if you think of the person coming out on on stage, you know, and says To be or not to be, you know, they're making a statement and then and then they leave a bit of space for the audience to kind of pick up what what we're trying to make sense of where the story is going. So I started my solo. I started my solo with a simple I think it was a be repeated now. So So I left a fair amount of space in between the the second phrase, but I just played something simple enough that I could repeat it myself if I want it. So yeah, and one of the things now I would in this case, I was just playing a company, a company, that part.

And for most of you starting out, you probably will only know the one voicing of G, which is sort of your basic beginner G chord. And one thing that piano and guitar to be aware of is that because we occupy a similar range and a similar type of sound, it's different than for example, if I was playing a flute or a saxophone with piano with it, they stand out from each other. Now one of the things to consider is like, do we want to be in the same register? Do we want to kind of have a unified big sound together, or do we want to spread out so that I'm This register, which is kind of sort of middle bottom on the piano. And we want to be making a lot of power, like if we're just going to both at the same time, a register, it's giving a lot of sound.

But now maybe if Kenny moves to either lower and higher, the notes can kind of, they can stick out a little bit more. And these are good things to think about, especially between piano players and guitar players. And one other thing is, as a starting up phase, if keeping the rhythm of the two bars for each chord is a little bit too much to manage. And we're going to do a quick example of kind of a beginner step to this, which is, we're going to know that there are only going to be two chords and they're going to go back and forth, but we're not going to count rhythm. So in this example, Kenny is going to cue me when it's time to go from the G chord to the C chord and then back and I'm going to watch him so I'm doing the job of the melody player, the soloist in terms of the tracks Now in this example I'm going to do the cueing but we're going to move between the chords more often so that you can get a start to get a sense of when it's going to when it's going to be closer together.

So here we go, right A big part of playing together is just communicating and keeping your eyes and ears open. And also, don't be afraid to make mistakes, you know, learning how to cue another musician or trust each other. It's it takes time to develop those relationships. And the way you get good at it is actually by making mistakes. So you'll make use and you won't be big enough or somebody won't be looking and you'll learn how to how to do it more and more confidently. So in that example, I was exploring the scale patterns, mostly, uh, not doing a lot of the repetition.

And there's a way of exploring that's based on hand position. So if you're a piano player, you'll see I'm in G position here. So as I was watching Todd, I didn't actually need to look at my hand. I was just passing the null between the different factors and explore That way and it all sounds good in this in with the chords that he was playing the other if that's Zoo advanced a beginner step two, that would just be to play the chord tones, like I'm going to just repeat a D I'm going to pick one note and watch Todd this time for a couple of chords and see how that what I can do with just one note. It's just a different way of approaching it so that you can practice the eye communication sometimes you have to simplify what you do musically just to practice the kind of actor skill communication that has to happen with with with jamming.

Yeah, and the purpose of playing music is not to play complicated. It's to express yourself. So there can be a tendency with your mind will want to say well, it's not fast enough or interesting enough or flashy enough or I'm not using enough notes all Those voices are not really helping you. So it's more of a feeling based thing like when you have if you can communicate something to another person using words with very few words, then that does what it needs to do. You don't have to write a big, huge long letter to them if you all you need to say is like, I'm feeling blue today. Mm hmm.

It doesn't need to be much more complicated than that.
