I learned all the rootless voicings in the context of the 2-5-1 progression (both the A and B voicing) and then the muscle memory in my fingers automatically takes over without me even thinking about it. It’s the same for every key. I don’t think of 3rds and 7ths. Should I be? My teacher had this all down on paper.
It's a delicate balance of "thinking" vs. "muscle memory." Obviously in the moment the music is going by too quickly for us to think consciously about intervals. I definitely hear the voice leading, and feel the voicings under my hands, and I can immediately notice if something is off. Hope that helps!
As a guitarist idk how I got here or why I watched the whole video. Have a sub
I hope some of the harmony & voice-leading ideas are applicable to guitar, too. Thanks for watching!
