Hi Many thanks for your comment, much appreciated and really glad you like the video. I don’t quite understand when you say the pdf is named as lesson 3, I’ve just checked online and it says lesson 1, did you mean that it says lesson 3 when you click on the link or on the pdf itself? This is the first in a series of lessons about chord voicing and voice leading that I am currently filming and there will be a pdf available for each lesson which will have the examples from the lessons in 12 keys. Thanks again Peter🙂🎶

​@@peterbeadle1 Okay, thank you. So the name of this PDF-Document is named as "Chord Voicing And Leading Lesson 3". Inside the PDF on page 1 is it Lession 1. This is it, why I was a bit confused. So okay, now I now about your intension. Thanks a lot and Im still waiting for the next lessions.

@@Dimitri1901 Hi Thanks so much for pointing this out to me, I don't know how it happened but I understand now that the file name said lesson 3 but the title lesson 1. Ive changed it now so that they both say lesson 1. Im working on lesson 2 which will focus on chord voicing and voice leading with upper extensions and altered notes. Once again thanks so much!

Thank you so much, next lesson shortly!

Great question, In a nutshell yes, say you had the chord progression CM7, Dm7, Em7, FM7 or CM7, Em7, FM7, in each case there’s nothing to indicate a key change, the Em7 is chord 3 in C Major. Now let’s say you had CM7, Dm7, Em7, A7, Dm7, the Em7, A7 functions as 2 5 in D minor (even though it doesn’t go to a D tonic minor ie Dm6 or Dm#7) If in doubt stick to the cell on the third.

Really glad you liked it, the next ones coming shortly!

Absolutely!

Hi, Sorry for the late reply and what an excellent question. The general rule is that if a note in a chord is also in the chord that follows it then keep it in the same place, if not then move to the nearest note in the following chord. If you want to email ( pjamusic@gmail.com) me Ill show you how that applies to those chords in Someday My Prince Will Come Thanks Peter

Hi Lawrence, Thanks so much for your kind words and sorry for the late reply. If you ever have any questions about this or other videos Id be only too happy to answer them, Peter

Thanks so much!

Of course!

My pleasure!

Thanks again Mick!

Thanks Mick, great to get your positive feedback. Ive finally got round to starting to make pdfs of the scales and exercises in these videos in all keys. Ive just completed the one for lesson 1 and Ive put a link for it in the description below the video and I'll be working on pdfs for all the videos in the series soon. Rather than trying to learn them all in all keys straight away though I would try applying them to jazz standards, the more standards that you learn the more keys you'll learn but it won't feel like just an exercise.

Oh thank you, that's so kind of you!

Thank you so much, that is such an encouraging comment!

Thanks for this, I don't really have any suggestions for this but I think that's a good idea for me to do a lesson on!

What a lovely comment, thank you!

No problem 😊

Thanks Rick, it's great to hear that you're taking the time to really study and absorb this, it will pay off in the long term!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you, I'll put that on the to do list!

Yes I agree, a bit like too much spice!

Thanks Joel, really appreciated!

Thanks Renato, really glad that you liked the video!

Yes, if you join the piano courses you get access to all the piano courses (and there are lots and lots of them!) plus access tp other courses such as harmony, scales, improvisation and rhythm with a variety of top instrumentalists.

I believe that they have a pro membership as well which I think has live sessions but I don't really know that much about what is included in that membership

Thanks Lawrence, don't give up, its a long journey, one step at a time

My pleasure and thanks so much for your very supportive comments!

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Rick

Thanks so much, that's such an encouraging comment!

Thanks so much for that Mick, I find that so encouraging!

Im so glad that you're finding these videos helpful, if you ever have any questions about them Id be only too happy to try to answer them

Thank you so much, that is such a kind comment!

Hi, So glad that you enjoyed the video. At the beginning of the video I was talking about what is sometimes referred to in traditional functional harmony as "Stock Progressions". I first read about these over 50 years ago when I started to study harmony and I bought three books by someone called William Lovelock. I still have these books now, they seem very dated and they seem to start with a list of things that you can't do but I still like them because as the author said, every sentence in them is important and needs to be studied properly before going on to the next one. The stock progressions that he talked about are little melodic patterns such as the first 3 notes of a major scale which composers often harmonised in the same way. These wouldn't all necessarily work in a jazz context but what is really useful in jazz is to become thoroughly familiar with chord progressions which are used all the time such as 3, 6, 2, 5 1which in C Major would be Em7, Am7, Dm7, G7 CM7. Im glad that you asked me this question, I think Ill make a video about "Stock Progressions" to put in my series about Keyboard Harmony.

@@peterbeadle1 thanks for the great reply Peter. Lessons on stock progressions would be awesome. Thanks!

@@hello55125 My Pleasure!

Thanks so much Lawrence, I can still remember when I got my first book about harmony and started to learn about triads. It seemed to open up a whole new World to me and Im just as keen to keep learning now as I was then!

Thanks so much for your really positive feedback, I love to hear that my videos are helping!

Thanks Franscesco, so glad that you find these videos useful and always great to hear from you!

Thank you, sorry for late reply, had Covid for the 3rd time but feeling much better now!

Sorry to hear that Peter. I just finally caught it for the first time on Christmas Day of all times. 5 months later I still have to take cough medicine at night half of the week.

@@rickrocketts183 Thanks Rick, Im definitely on the mend now, I hope you get completely better too soon!
