So we will cover all of those progressions that I just – you know I love to play. So, I would play things in between, but those are your three-tone chords. Now a little trick that I like to do, let's go to our keyboard, I am going to show you something. Whenever you are on this #9, #5, and let me tell you I love a #9, #5 because they are so contemporary. Let's listen to it, it's just very smooth.
Now, the first thing that you've got to do is you've got to power up your left hand, because if you are going to do this wrong, you have got to have something in your left hand; you can be it playing a one finger. So that just sounds too dry. So I am going to teach you the concept of power chords and basically how it works is this: with a power chord, you play some things on your left hand, and then when you combine your right hand you have got a much more bigger chord.
In this case, we are going to be playing a little right hand run, so we are going to have to play the chord or release the shell of the chord on my left hand. Let me show you how that works. Here, just play the one of your bass or just play your regular bass note, play the 5 of it, so the 5th of F is C, is the middle, basically, right there in the middle of the scale and then play the Flat 7, which is Eb.
So you have got F, C, Eb and then play it back. So with your power chord, a lot of people what they will do is, they either play the 1-5-1 and you go and play that over chord, that's easy. You just find the middle; you find the 5th of whatever your key note is. So with F, the middle F is pretty much C and you just play F-C-F, a lot of people do that, or you can take the one of F.
