e Bass line This is the foundation
of the entire piece. Notice how it always
includes Rand 5 of each chord, but the unchanging top note F# is in turn R of
the F# chord, 2 of the E chord and 3 of the D chord.
If you wish, you may simplify the bass line during the intra and solo sections
by playing the middle note on the beat (as on the CD). This is the same rhythm
as the left-hand chords in Major Triad Workout (p. 32):

e Halftime feel Practise the left hand alone with a foot-tap

and metronome

set to

88 bpm (the 'one' and 'three' of every bar), until you can play it without looking.
elntro Perfect fourths are played in the right hand, repeating the same two pairs
of notes, B/E and C#/F#, which are compatible with all three chords. The intra
is always played between the head and solo. During the repeats, try varying the
rhythm of the right-hand

chords rather than just repeating what is written.


e Melody - section 'A' Notice how the first three phrases follow the notes of
each triad like a glove, moving down a tone each time the bass line does.

To help you memorise this tupe, think of each phrase starting on the third of
the chord.
e Melody - section 'B' This begins in section

'P: with a pick-up on the '3 and' of

bar 8. The pick-up encircles the first note of bar 9 - A# (once again the third of
the chord).
The melody that follows ascends an F# scale over the first two bars, and
descends an E scale over the next two bars, resolving onto the third of the D
and E chords (the long notes in bars 13 and 15). These scales are not regular
major scales as they contain some flattened notes, in particular the seventh.

We'll be looking at scales like this in more detail in Chapter 3.
