We can also achieve some really interesting sounds by applying upper structure triad theory to both major and minor chords.
We have voiced minor 251 progressions with our left hand and so now it’s time to spread the notes across 2 hands to get bigger chords with more impact!
In a minor 251, the 5 chord will be an altered dominant chord. In this lesson we apply altered dominant chords to the major 251 progression.
In this lesson lesson we provide an introduction on how to read lead sheets for jazz piano using the jazz standard “Tune Up”.
Tritone Substitution is a useful reharmonisation technique that can be used to add harmonic interest and variety to a chord progression.
Extended chords create a richer and more complex sound than triads and 7th chords and are used to create more interesting progressions.
Slash chords contain 2 bits of info, the 1st letter indicates what chord should be played & the 2nd letter specifies the bass note of the chord.
Minor harmony is much more complex than major harmony and so the minor 251 progression takes much more time and patience to master.
We explore passing chord options when playing slow blues piano. We focus on the transition from the I to the IV chord in the 12 bar blues.
In this lesson we apply everything that we have learn so far to emulate Beegie Adair’s solo piano arrangement of the tune ‘Body & Soul’.
