Chromatic passing chords add tension, colour, and strengthen the sense of resolution when changing chords in the 12-bar blues progression.

We explore a fill technique using descending 4th intervals which is an alternative to the suspended triad fill that we explored previously.

In this lesson, we explore triad-based space fillers and how to combine our left and right hands whilst maintaining a steady 12/8 pulse.

In this module we focus on the 12/8 pulse and common space fillers to create an engaging and interesting slow blues piano performance.

In this lesson we continue our exploration of warm up drills and we voice the primary chords of the blues with the 9th chord extension.

We introduce the basic blues form in C and cover a series of drills to help you become familiar with triad and 7th chord inversions.

Dive into the essential harmonic components of Eb Major: the major scale, diatonic 7th chords, and the common progressions 251 and 36251.

While the C section shares some similarities with the B section, it features a distinct ending which is used to bring the song to a close.

In this lesson we learn the 7th chords and spread voicings for the B section of the tune “Tenderly” which spans from bar 9 to bar 16.

In this lesson, we will delve into the jazz ballad “Tenderly” which follows an A-B-A-C form. This song is known for its spacious harmony.
