Once you understand this chord structure, your piano playing will never be the same. It's used commonly in both Jazz and Neo Soul, but you'll really hear it used in an absolutely gorgeous way in modern Neo Soul-Inspired tracks that cross genres as well. A really important part of this sound is the dim(maj7) chord, i.e. a diminished triad with a major 7. The structure comes down to being built like a block chord, but with a major 7 instead of a 6. Use this over any melody or chord progression for a modern sound. Enjoy this jazz and Neo Soul piano tutorial with Noah Kellman.

The best left hand comping video so far
Thank you! I played along while watching
Very helpful! Just what i was looking for, i think
a pretty good tutorial, thank you. it's great for those like me who wants to start playing jazz piano (moving from classical to jazz)
Same. Classical got so boring so quick
@@derekcallender1762nahhh, I would'nt say that, I enjoy both, but suck at improvising tbh
The best, most concise jazz piano tutorials on the net. Well done, Noah! Keep them coming, please! Thank you so much 🙏
One of the best out there hands down brother
Exactly what I needed to improve my left hand. Thank you so much, Noah! 👍🔥
Amazing! Thanks so much.
Thank you Noah! Amazing video. The insights were so helpful!!
you’re videos help out so much for adding for tips to my playing all the time i appreciate it from one musician to the other
You are now a beast. More grace.
Thank you SO much for this. I really appreciate the step by step approach you lay out in this video. I'm really excited to practice and experiment with my left hand comping now :)
WHAT A BEAST!!!!!
Hi there Noah I just watched the video near my keyboard and I started writing down and applying the concepts and I felt so free when playing my favorite tunes. Thanks for these lessons are really helpful. Greetings from Nicaragua!
You are amazing! thank you Noah
Thanks so much man, loving it
Thank you Noah that was excellent!
hi Noah, very interesting video keep on teaching this type of topic regards
Am watching it again, you really did a great job
Nice lesson. Keep up the great work.
Just what I believe I need... not that my right hand is anywhere near yours though (far, far behind you...); but... as a former guitar player (advanced beginner/early intermediate jazz), now an advanced beginner on piano, my LH is weeeeak, compared with my RH. Will look into your method, or perhaps you could point me at something you think would be most appropriate, having understood my music background. Thank you & best wishes 👍👍
Very helpful. Thank you
Super valuable!
Been looking for this for ages
Thanks so much!
more amazing everytime
Great video, thanks
Awesome!!!
This is great, thank you! Understanding that QnA between the bass notes and keys is going to help my music be more dynamic sounding. I think I leave chords on the 1/4 note a bit too often.
thank you so much for this video....!!!
Thanks ! 👍
Thank you Noah!!! As always! Happy 22! And cheers from Argentina!
I had even no idea it was called comping! Thank you so much vor the nice video!
Hooray!
Very very good
Unlike many folks who play by ear, I am very good at reading sheet music, not by ear, I was hoping to find a way as I play pieces to embellish and often sparse and uninteresting left hand. I’ve done the full octaves, the I 10, the fifths. You may have given me some ideas here to have more freedom when I’m streaming.
Yessss, this video would have been gold when I started out playing jazz!
Don't forget about playing a walking bass with your left hand too!
Great content as always Noah :)
Thanks, Frantzes 🙏🙏
Great video I needed this!!
What is the software you use to show the name of chords On the top?
Hi Noah: I just thought of a good question to address in a video, if this would be of any interest to you
The use of the pedal
For example, when do you lift and refresh the tone? In classical music you might not use a pedal on the second, but obviously, in jazz you might
And any discussion about the pedal with left hand chords versus right hand Melody and improvisations
default is the dry sound. Use pedal to hold notes or create effects when you feel it is needed, simple
Can you do a video about your thoughts concerning building tension and release rhythmically? I feel that rhythm, time feel, and groove are really underrated topics in jazz instruction, but it seems like having a framework in which to understand them is really important?
Can I ever be as good as this guy?🎹😞
Hi Noah - great video. Have you checked out Alan Pasqua’s video on MyMusicMasterclass on basically what he calls the tenor voice? It is a LH technique and sound I’ve been looking for, but never found it explained. Basically, it highlights the 3rd/7th movements while leaving roots as afterthought, and creates rhythm. It definitely has influenced my solo playing. Just thought I’d share. Keep up the great videos
Great video. I have very large hands so I play a lot of tenths in my voice leading, and when I have to teach I'm always unsure of how students with smaller hands should go about it. Great tips, thanks!
I have small hands, and if I'm stretching, I can barely reach a minor tenth. Something I tend to do is either brake it up and not play it simultaneously, and to not let it feel too "empty" with two separate notes, I tend to add a fifth or sixth together with the base note followed by the tenth, or do an arpeggio with 1, 5, 10. In rare cases, but which I'd actually like to practice more, I've actually played the tenth note using my right hand while soloing. The "conditions" have to be right though, I can't do it while the improvisation is getting too complicated, or if the line is too far away from the tenth.
Today Noah went with the v neck with the messed up sleeve 😎
really good! and what about powells voicings?? thats another thing you can mix up!
Noah, could you do a lesson on basic rootless left hand voicings, especially for comping underneath right hand improv? I couldn't find such a video on your home page. You have sometimes shown more advanced techniques, such as Bill Evans' use of LH block chords for this purpose. But something more basic (like use of 1st and 3rd positions) would be useful. Thanks!
Hey Grant sure I will keep this in mind for future videos
I love your videos, thank you. I have to ask - can anyone follow those animations?
yeah bro
How can I set up a screen keyboard like that? Do you recommend any software? Thank you!
Are you using the pedal when you hit those bass notes around 5:00? They keep ringing for a while. How do you make them sound for a few beats while not making the melody muddy?
Perfect 😎
thanks!!
jack stratton without non-sense talking about cereals. still nice lesson, thank you.
You're style here sounds like Bill Evans, awesome! Loving your channel

1:49 started the lick but caught himself
Even by his own admission, Evans wasn’t a great solo piano player. Hank Jones is a better guy to check out. His playing encompassed elements of Tatum and Bud Powell, and his left hand parts are really interesting rhythmically interesting and varied.
Too many notes.
Already said to Mozart... Boring... but ty
“Finally Explained” in all caps … give me a break.
He’s playing the UA-cam algorithm game just like everyone else.
