Beethovens 5th for Bass Video

[00:01:11]So right now I'd like to talk about this explain a little about what I saw is totally dietonic in the melody in the key of E flat. These are the notes they use just out of the E flat scale.

[00:01:25]Now, in the first part of the song, it starts on the third and goes down to the root, the E flat, a G to an E flat, and then it goes down from the second degree, the F, and it goes to the D.

[00:01:41]This would be a minor third. So, what he's thinking is he's using intervals of a third two times in the beginning, that big powerful introduction It's a major third going from the third to the root and then a second degree going to the major 7th which is a D minor actually if you want to look at it that way.

[00:02:11]Then we go up to the third. Okay, it is important to mention the fact that this is based on a rhythm and it isn't 24.

[00:02:20]this dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot two four. So what's happening over and over is one and two and three and one and one and two and two and one and two and happens over and over and he changes the melodic idea maintaining that same rhythm. That's what really makes it interesting. So when when we start on the third, we've already done that on the introduction and it's da da da da da da da da. And that's and two and one and two and one and we're in two four. So he goes up to the third and continues on with that rhythm, but he but he changes it melodically several times and that's what makes it even more interesting. So we have from the third You hear that? And two and two and and then right there they put the one in there. Right there the one happens at one point but it still has that and to end to keep it going.

[00:03:39]Then it goes up, repeats that rhythmical thing again, and changes it melodically.

[00:03:50]And it still does it. Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da.

[00:04:04]continues on with that same rhythm and changes it melodically once again.

[00:04:16]Start it over.

[00:04:30]This phrase is a little different. It starts on the offbeat. I will repeat it a couple of times. So, it's one and two and one, but there's a rest on one. So, it's one and two and one, two, one and two and one, two, one and two and one.

[00:04:49]And then it goes back to putting the uh down beat for the first note. So, like this. So it kind of uh same line, but on the second time you repeat that same line, you put it that you play the down beat.

[00:05:04]One, two, one and two and one and two, one and two and one and two, one and two and one and two and I'll do it a little slow so you can absorb it a little better hopefully.

[00:05:18]One and two and one and two one and two and one and two one and two and one and two.

[00:05:29]That's all for this video. I hope you enjoyed it and got something out of it.
