'So What' Jazz Chord Voicing Piano | PianoGroove.com

[@DouglasFlather]

Here is why your instruction is pure gold: 1.) "Look for m7 with the 5th as melody..." -- Right there. That one sentence is what distinguishes you from 95% of the other online jazz piano videos on KZbin. 2.) "Here's my foolish heart. Let's see where we can try this..." You're learning model is "Tell - Show - Do" Priceless. Please keep the videos coming! It doesn't get any better than this. How can we support you?

+Douglas Flather Thanks Douglas - that's exactly my thinking when planning lessons... demonstrate how and when to use it and then apply it to real jazz standards so that you can see it in context.

+PianoGroove I agree with everything Doug said!!! I come from a blues and boogie woogie background... .My biggest hurdle when learning any Jazz chords, I never know when or how to apply them to any practical application. You just knocked this one outta the ballpark :) Thanks again!!!

[@adinnagy2015]

This is by far one of the best piano lessons online I have ever seen. The fact that you tell the audience about the 5th in the melody and break that on is key! You make it simple to learn, and I'm sure this will help thousands of people

[@drumprogresserater]

you are a master at simplifying the what seems overally complex, broken down with a clear concise understanding, is something I definately admire. People who get simplifying is key to everything, and you sir have got it down to a t.

James Pierre Read Thanks James. Glad you find them useful.

Brilliant implementation instruction - you have correctly identified that people don't need rehashes of explanations that they can google anyway - what they require is instruction on how to start doing it 10/10 - Louis, London

[@juanitobanana9083]

Well done and very useful....

[@AAnilSahin]

Wonderful. Thank you very much.

[@novicetech1]

Dude! That was awesome. Do you plan to complete the tutorial on "My Foolish Heart?"

[@Pepper-g7l]

Apparently not has been 5 years since your question

[@conoceguatemala502]

Great 😎

[@localpm]

Brilliant lessn,.

Anyone else likes it more even than shuffled?

[@tomerdun]

I'm interested to know how this voicing fits in a 2-5-1 progression

[@PianoGroove]

+tomerzx Because it is a minor chord, you can use it as the 2 chord in any 251 progression :-)

[@tomerdun]

But isn't the 2 chord half diminished?

[@PianoGroove]

+tomerzx The 2 chord is half diminished in a minor 251 progression but it is a normal minor chord in a major 251 progression. Having said this, you can also play a normal minor chord in a minor 251 progression and it also sounds great. The half diminished chord has a bit more 'bite' to it and has a stronger sound. Try this for an altered major 251 progression: 2 chord: G & C in left hand - F, Bb & D in the right hand (this is a G so what chord) 5 chord: E & Bb in the left hand - Eb, Ab and C in the right hand ( this is a C7#5#9 chord) 1 chord: F & C in the left hand - E, G, A and D in the right hand ( this is a Fmaj13 chord) More lessons to come on this so stay tuned :-) Cheers, PianoGroove

[@tomerdun]

thank you so much! I can't wait for your next lesson

[@davivify]

Thanks, very cool. By the way I sometimes hear a 'What So' chord. It's a type of 6/9 voicing. I could just tell you what it is, but I thought I'd let you try to guess, if you like ;-)

[@PianoGroove]

+Dave March Hi Dave, I'd love to find out more about your 'What So' voicing...? Something cool to try with So What chords is to move your left hand notes up by a minor 3rd (or 1.5 steps), so for D minor So What you would play: Left Hand: F & Bb Right Hand: C, F & A It has a really nice floating quality to it! Cheers, PianoGroove

[@chengyanslc]

New toolkit=get! Thanks

[@vmdp8790]

言程 oh hello you’re here

[@timmysurf1290ify]

how do you get your piano to a nice tuning sound like yours? is it a plugin or is your piano just built to sound so jazzy??

[@abduldehoyos]

Waaaaaoo 🔥😮

[@xavierharris9749]

So What: Miles Davis

[@ethan_717]

So WHAT!

[@mjazzguitar]

It's not a minor 11 voicing, it's a G9 sus

[@benbrooker]

Yeah I see where you're coming from but nah the application of this makes it the minor 11

[@mjazzguitar]

I was only kidding.

[@theycallmejpj]

good video, but I almost didn't recognise it because I think your rhythm is a bit off

[@georgelydon4290]

Nah he’s just playing with the rhythm

[@alexposmontier8841]

You're not in time...

[@elrondsch]

Great info... but could you please stop chewing of munching(whatever it is you are doing with your mouth)? It really distracts from the actual info.

[@PianoGroove]
