With this play-along in D Minor, you will explore parallel intervals of a tenth. You'll begin with two notes and build the thickness of the sound by adding more notes along with some rhythmic variation.

Playing four chords in D Minor: Dm, Bb, Gm & A. You'll begin with the root bass note and play in parallel, a tenth above it. Your next step will be to play the fifth of the chord and then the seventh of the chord. The exercise begins with a simple rhythm and then the excitement builds by syncopating the chords.

You'll learn to play open 5ths in both hands. Then, by moving the left hand in parallel 5ths while keeping the right hand on the same notes you can explore the change in sound while simply making beautiful music.

In this tutorial I've extended the jam at the end of the session.
