When writing “Desafinado”, Jobim and Mendonça decided to write a tune with many of these unusual scale degree choices in the melody.
The B section of ‘Body & Soul’ is particularly interesting due to the modulations which differentiate it from the A sections of the tune.
In this lesson we explore a selection of comping voicings and improvised solo ideas for the famous tune ‘On Green Dolphin Street’.
In this lesson we will learn how to embellish the turnaround sections with extensions, echoing, inner voices, USTs, arpeggios, & Sus chords.
We start with the diatonic 7th chords found in the G Major scale and then discuss the different variations of the 251 progression.
In this lesson we explore voicing options for the diatonic chords of C Major. We cover all chord types: major, minor, dominant and -7b5.
In this lesson we create a beginner-focused arrangement of the tune “Pure Imagination” from Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.
In this lesson we create a full solo piano arrangement incorporating chord substitutions and reharmonisations and advanced jazz theory.
An important point with sus chords is that we often resolve the suspended 4th to turn the chord into a regular dominant 7th voicing.
In this course we will take a look at one of the most influential modern jazz pianists, Herbie Hancock, and his solo piano performance of “Someday My Prince Will Come”.
