 Hi everyone, this is Jason here from Nathaniel school of music in this lesson We are basically gonna steal music from existing songs at the weird title for a lesson or weird goal But the here's the thing you're gonna take songs which Which pretty much have the same chord progression, which is the chord progression of the Andalusian cadence namely one minor seven flat major Six flat major and then the five major which kind of makes it both D natural minor and D harmonic minor if you think about it So we are gonna take these songs which pretty much use the Andalusian cadence and Try to make it our own and try to improvise and try to create it and Just make it our own and then we will use it with other songs Which are in different chord progressions and no one will know what we did to learn from great music Take the rhythm pattern in the song play it with a great cadence the Andalusian cadence And create a variety of rhythm patterns along the way so the first one is inspired from this song All know this song. It's called feeling good popularized by Nina Simone's version Michael Bublé's version and then so many other great versions along the line So the pattern is quite simple. You just go let me break it for you in a easy to feeling good way So the Andalusian cadence you're gonna play the root in the right hand Sorry the root in the left hand and the chord in the right hand. So That's the first way of getting the pattern so Check out the notation Which will help you One and a two so it's actually a triplet feel so you want to count one and a two and a three and a four and a one Triplet two triplet three in attack one and one and a two I'm feeling good Now let's get that You could even keep it simple by going So, let's slow that down at the end of the turn I'm kind of landing back on my root I'm feeling good That's feeling good so there's another nice song which when when I played you will probably recognize it So we're gonna take this famous song house of the rising Sun and try to play it over the Andalusian cadence so you use arpeggios and I would encourage you to watch a Simple version of the Andalusian cadence using what I call a simple arpeggios Which will actually help you to eventually play the house of the rising Sun rhythm which goes like this In Now this is not the chords or these are not the chords of the original song the original song goes You can also play that but I'm just doing it over the Andalusian cadence which is part of this long series of us So you go D So one So let's break down the house of the rising Sun rhythm Guess it's a six eight so one two three So we've looked at house or the rising Sun before that we looked at feeling good So there's another really nice song, which I think you will again remember when I played You've heard this, believer, it's quite easy in the right hand, it goes D F D F D F D F D F D F and you could start with fifth chords in the left hand and the very last one because D F will not work so well with that A major, you do C sharp E, it's pretty much what happens in the original song, only thing the original song is the guitar does that and then everything else does the other stuff. Here we are actually trying to play the believer chord progression, the riff and everything else just on one instrument with one human. So this is the right hand, it's just swung, one two three and four and one look at the left hand first start with some fifth chords. If you like following the cadence, you can do that also. How to make this a bit more epic, you could do like a, you could kind of go really low to like the lowest D on your keyboard and come back and whack the fifth chord in the right hand and you need to hold your pedal and so that's what really makes it epic I think, you could even play the melody higher if you like and I think I prefer it lower so okay you could also make it even more epic by going something like this by hitting a few off beats, let me break that down better you know you could hit the C a little bit earlier, you could hit the C, every alternate chord you could hit it, you could lag it so so it'll be at the E, one E and two E and three E and four E and one E and or keep it just blocks in the left hand so so far we have fifth chords, you could play it with a pulse or you could just block that also and swing of course then you make it epic with the drone in the left hand, droning the left hand, some off beat stuff right guys so that was basically the song believer by Imagine Dragons but in our own way moving forward I have a couple more songs for you, one is a Michael Jackson hit it's called Who Is It that song so if you take that he goes pulse in the right hand and you kind of time your chords in a three plus one manner so it's three D minors so you're playing the C at the fourth beat and D minor would be for three counts na na na na na na na na and look at the left hand one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and one and two and three and C man B flat and who is it I thought anyway the song uses the cadence which is I figured we learn this rhythm pattern because it's really nice for your independence it's also very nice for a lot of ballad or even hard hitting rock songs to play a pulse in the right hand and play some accents in the left again and four and one and two and three and four and one and two and three four and one and two and three and four and one you can do that like a nice climb there or you can do that you can add some ghost editions in the left who is it I have no clue about the words apologize for that so now that you learn the popular rock song by Michael Jackson I want one more sort of rock song old school rock song by the Ventures called walk don't run so that goes something like this so what's happening here it's three hits of the D minor so let's look at the right hand first so at the end you do a little eighth note broken thing and three and four and one and two and three and four and very similar to who is it actually that's the walk don't run riff and I have one more song for you which uses the Andalusian cadence really really well it's a it's a dance song called the ketchup song let's see how that goes right guys the last song which I wanted to share with you which uses the Andalusian cadence is the ketchup song so the the right hand little later the left hand is really really cool as a bass line on its own so you could say this is that this is a 16th note bass line which goes something like what's happening there one five one ten octave back to the fifth pump pump pump pump pump pump pump pump pump pump so could cross over your finger I guess at this point that's a bit tricky so you could use your middle finger and then the index so this is the right hand so the right hand is going one and three and four and one and a very very EDM disco you could say I have no clue of those words I don't think even you do but it's really confusing that song so this is the groove and the right hand you could also create like a simplified version something like just root and fifth whole thing now whole thing this is my favorite of them all kind of save the best for last right guys so we've learned a bunch of songs which use the Andalusian cadence and yeah please practice it well and again this is Jason here from Nathaniel do consider hitting that subscribe button the bell for notifications and do stay tuned to the entire Andalusian series this is part of an entire series if you haven't already do watch the lessons which precede this and which succeed this moving forward
