If you are feeling adventurous, you can move your thumb down to the next white note, which is a B. We go back to D minor here. So, this is D, D7, move your thumb on the C, go down to the next white note, as I said the B and this creates a D minor 6 (Dm6) chord. Notice the softly different moves of each chord. Moving your thumb around just creates different and interesting sounding D minor chords. (Music playing)
This sort of chordal experimentation is one of the keys to improvisational playing. Now, place your right thumb or first finger of the right hand over any D note farther up the keyboard. You can always find the D note by locating C, which is a white note just below to the left of the two black notes. See these black notes repeating themselves, the same pattern all the way up the keyboard. Two black notes, it is just below that, that is middle C. That is the C note, and then goes up one to the D. So, if you want to find C, find the two black notes and go down a half step to C, then up to D.
You also find middle C that way down here, but we will get to that in a minute. You will see that the note patterns repeat themselves over and over again for the entire keyboard, just like I said. This is an octave here, all these notes, you see the pattern—the two and the three black notes and these notes from C to C. All these are called octaves, eight notes apart. They go up the keyboard, all the way down. All this one little section here, you will see all these relationships work. It is the same here, same here—all these different octaves. So, you learn in this range and get well on the way.
