In part 2 we create a full solo piano arrangement incorporating chord extensions, suspended chords and altered dominant chords.
In this lesson we apply the I-VI-II-V progression to the turnaround section using a selection of meaty New Orleans style chord voicings.
In this lesson we will learn how to embellish the turnaround sections with extensions, echoing, inner voices, USTs, arpeggios, & Sus chords.
Michel Legrand’s ‘What are you doing the rest of your life’ is a challenging tune to learn and contains some difficult-to-navigate chord changes.
Thelonious Monk’s Round Midnight contains lots of interesting chord changes. Written in the key of Eb Minor, there are 6 flats to watch out for!
We further develop the idea of harmonising the melody using 3rd intervals, triads, and passing chord progressions based on 251s.
In this lesson Jovino presents a beautiful solo piano arrangement and applies some interesting chord voicings and harmonic principles.
We build upon what we have covered in the previous tutorials by introducing upper structure triads, sus chords and a stride style.
In this lesson we will explore different ways to create solo piano introductions which can be applied to jazz standards and church hymns.
We explore various ways to add harmonic interest over dominant chords using tritones. We use the tunes ‘Body and Soul’ and ‘Misty’.
