Hi Breden. you are soooo awesome. I am a music teacher from South Africa and i follow your blogs and watch your videos. i have learn a lot from these materials. Great stuff keep it, I share this information with my students as I teach them. Keep it up
Hello! Thank you for the tips. I had a question - How do you get comfortable with voicing different chords on the fly? Any exercises to get comfortable with being able yo voice chords spontaneously? Thank you
Thanks for watching Saloni. There is no easy answer to that, but it is an important skill and something that is acquired over time with the more voicings you're familiar with. One suggestion I can give you is try taking a chord type (maj7 for example) - and ask yourself: can I voice each melody note? For ex: try voicing Cmaj7 with C on top, with D on top, with E on top, with G on top, with A on top, with B on top. Hope this helps!
I would imagine Bill Evans spent a lot of time doing this. I think this is what separates the wheat from the chaff in pianists. I can hear it in pianists who haven't spent the time doing this.
There is a wide range of 8th notes in jazz - all the way from pianists like Herbie who really emphasize the ⅔ ⅓, to pianists like Chick Corea who play a much straighter eighth note closer to 50.50. It's the articulation and accents that make the 8th notes swing, moreso than the length of the eighth note! Hope this helps!
