At the beginning of the video, I said: Right, how the heck he will teach that many things in only 18 minutes! Well, he did! 🤣 This is THE MOST comprehensive rootless voicing video I've seen on KZbin! Awesome job! Thanks.

I don't even own a piano. I bought one that's out of stock for another month or two. Can't wait to get started but here I am watching these videos knowing full well I've got two years minimum of scales and arpeggios before I can even dream of playing any of this stuff. 😂

All this is good but can you play a song like Mary had a little lamb or some other easy song that we know & turn into jazz. This would be great for beginners. The key of C would be great for us beginners. Many thanks Jonny.😊😊😊😊😊

You always "resolve" the chord using the shortest route! 😉 🎶

Can you or anyone tell me where to find left handed blues backing tracks or BASS lines?. Why? I had a stroke, lost the use of my left hand (yes, it sucks), however I'd like to work on my right abilities. Thanks!

Hi Jonny, very great lesson. I would like to ask you this thing: How can you suggest to play the rootless chords when you accompain a singer and there's the bass playing? Thanks in advance.
@johnb67235 ай бұрын
Drop the tonic, add the ninth. In fact not doing so can actually upset the bass player, as many an amateur has found out to their cost over the years.

It's a bit redundant. By definition, voicings have no roots. That's why they are called voicings rather then chords. John Mehegan, former Juilliard Jazz piano instructor (1946-1964), has already written about voicings. When people talk about Bill Evans, they talk about his voicings and not his "rootless" voicings. Personally, I think you need to discourage this needless reition.

I had jazz piano teacher who studied with Mehegan and he got me understand some basic principles of his to voice the left hand and the A & B and so on. I had to go Mehegans books which are excellent and very much go into detail. I like Barry Harris as well. His approach is also extremely useful. One can understand theory and all that goes into organizing what possibilities are available to the improviser. Remember the true inspiration for jazz musicians go back to Bach and Beethoven or Mozart, Schumann, Chopin, Debussy, Rachmaninoff and so many others who were schooled in the art of improvisation. Forgot to mention Czerny who studied with Beethoven and who taught Liszt. 🎉❤❤
