In case you missed it ...

Ok, so we can now move into our next phrase which is phrase number three, bars number 9 to 12.

Ok, so starting off bar 12 (ahem, 9!!), we're on a B, open G and a D with my fourth finger. B with my second, open G and D with my fourth finger ... and then go back into my C shape play a C, open G and an E on top of the chord ...

Finish off that bar with a C note, high C note with my first finger...

Looking at the right hand, thumb plays the B, first finger plays the open G, and my second finger is going to grab the D ... we do the second triad, thumb, first again on the G and my third finger plays the open E ... and I'm just going to grab that C note with my second finger. So we have ...

Bar 10, starting off again with the same chord, B, open G and D, ... then I play two quavers, so I've got ... an open E and an F ... going back into what's predominantly my C shape ... I'm play C, open G and E and I finish off bar 10 with a C note ...

Taking a look at the right hand ...

Bar 11 starts off exactly the same way, it's the same triad, B on the bottom, open G and D ... same two quavers ... I've got my E and my F note ... The next triad is E, open G and E on the top ... and then followed by a D note with my forth finger ... So, bar 11 ... one more time, bar 11 ...

Taking a look at the right hand for bar 11, once again, same as before, B with my thumb, G my first finger and D my second finger ... and in the second triad, thumb, first finger again and I use my third finger on the high E, ... and my second finger to grab that D note ...

In bar 12, I play the notes A on the bass, and I've got an A note and a C note ... A on the bass, A note the octave, and the C ... grab the D with my forth finger ... and I put a G on the base for the final triad ... open D and open G ...

Looking at the right hand, I've got my thumb playing the A, my first finger playing the A on the octave and my second finger playing the C ... followed by my D note, and then G on the bass, D open and my G open. Thumb, first and second...

Looking at bars 9 to 12.

Our final section, section four, goes from bar 13 to bar 16, and the first three bars are exactly the same as bars one to three. The only thing that changes is our last two triads in bar 16.

So here we go with bars 13 to 15 ...

Ok, so the final two triads, second finger goes on the G, on the bass. Third finger goes on the F note and my forth finger down here on the D ... and I go into a C triad C, E and C on the top ...

And looking at the right hand, bass thumb on G, first finger on my right hand plays the F and my third finger is going to play the D ... into my C triad, which is just simply, thumb, first and once again my third finger ...

So, let's take a look at our final section, section four ...

The fingers that I'm using with my right hand are fairly optional. You don't have to that 100% but it does give you a little bit of a guideline to what I'm using in that particular piece.

Good luck with it. As I say, break it down into the four sections that I've given you, and gradually work on those separately and then put them together. Join section one and two, two to three, three to four and then right through the whole thing.

Have fun and I'll see you next time.
