Oh yeah I feel you. I think about songs with a lot of changes. If you're good with your harmony then if you just making the changes, that's like a big part of the battle especially if it's fast but however on the flip side of that is good to play songs with less chanes and learn how to voice chords over a simpler possibly as slower harmonic structure

That was a great lesson on adding color tones to the already existing 3rd and & 7ths. Very useful indeed. I came upon this video quiet by accident. and am glad I did so! I have many Lead sheets and was kind of juggling with those to find the correct chord structures to sound more jazzy. Thank you. I believe this is open voicing harmony.? If you can, could you do a lesson on adding upper structures giving a jazz piece more color. Perhaps song like "Wonderful tonight' (sung by Micheal Buble) or 'I ve got you under my skin' (sung by Katherine McPhee or Carly Simon) . Much appreciated.

Thank you for your comment Ajitha! Yes you are right that these can also be referred to as open voicings. An upper structures video would be a great idea, i will try to do one on this soon

After hours and hours of private and on-line instruction I find your approach much less restrictive and uncomplicated. I have been drowning in voicing rules, exceptions to 7-3 under melody, open versus closed voicings, rootless, 251AB, major and minor!. Once the essential root, harmony (7-3), and melody are nailed, simply add the extensions that sound good with the voicings that sound good. Very clear instruction and good use of the orange keys. Good method to start a standard. Thanks.

Could you explain the modulations in the song? what is the harmonic logic? I see some II- V- I or II - V , II - V but what happen in Bm7 Bb7?? or Am7 Bbº7??
@ollyonpiano2 жыл бұрын
Hi Diego - for Bm7 Bb7, the Bb7 is a tritone substitution for an E7, so it is essentially functioning as a II-V. For Am7 Bbo7, The Bbo7 is acting as a passing chord to link to the Bm7 (Bbo7 can be used as a substitute for F#7, which is the V chord of Bm)

Thank you. I want to do this. I want to try this with Jazz standard Sunny. Should I always try to make the melody note the highest pitched note? Do you recommend the Real Book or Fake book as a source of song lead sheets?
@ollyonpiano5 жыл бұрын
Hi, thank you for the comment and glad you found it useful. Yes, the melody note should be the highest note (our ears hear the top note as the melody). I'd recommend the Hal Leonard Real Book as pictured in the thumbnail for the most accurate and up to date lead sheets, but really any book with lead sheets is ok for practising this method!

Hello Olly and thank you so much for you video. you really helped me a lot. i have a question, i found a "Chord Symbols Sheet" on the net and i started practicing from it before playing ( wanted to memorize combinations) and there's one problem, in the "Chord Symbols" guide, its using the the Fifth of the chords, but in your playing ( and almost everywhere else) you exclude the fifth. i wanted to know is that an unwritten rule? that everyone knows? Because when i add the fifth it doesn't really sound like jazz.
@ollyonpiano4 жыл бұрын
Hi Nima, thank you for your comment and glad you found it helpful. Yes it's common when voicing jazz chords to leave out the fifth. You can certainly include it if you wish but it's not essential to have it in. The only time I would definitely include the fifth is if it was a chord with a b5 in (for example, a minor 7 flat 5 chord). I hope that helps!

"A-7" is the American way of writing "A minor 7". The dash means minor. "A7" would be dominant7, and Amaj7 would be major7. There's different ways of notating chords

Hey! Yes these voicings are generally for solo playing, but you can simply leave off the root if playing with a bass player, so either have the 3 or the 7 as the lowest note!
