    If you're learning to comp, I definitely suggest learning the blues in rootless fourths voicings too (like E-Bb-D-G-C for C7). Blew my mind when I first learned them because it's such an iconic sound!

    • @davidnurse8173
      @davidnurse8173 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      does it have a different name in your example, because from E to Bb is not a fourth... A would be the fourth. or is that example just what is considered the rootless fourth voicing for C7.. If you said it was the rootless fourth voicing for C then it would use the A instead of the Bb. just curious

      @@davidnurse8173 Good question! 7th chords are an exception because they need to have a tritone in them, so usually they start with tritone - major 3rd and then 4ths on top. E-A-D-G-C is also a rootless 4th voicing but for C6/CM7/Am7/FM7

      If you use the shell with the seventh underneath i.e. Bflat./Eflat then you can build perfect fourths on top of that. …without the major 3rd.

    Great Tutorial. Even with the Blues, there are various techniques to incorporate alternatively making the Blues sound just out of the world! . And the Blues scale can be used simultaneously with 6 note Minor Pentatonic scales to enhance the beauty within Minor 11-V I 's I am thinking..

    @jimpeterson8884 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks...I love the jazz bass lines! (I must ingrain this into memory!!)
    Question on the first "boogie" bass line you demonstrate (while showing the first "Left Hand Patterns" sheet); It sounds more like there are dotted eighth notes & 16th notes in that line rather than just straight 1/8th notes...giving it this a triplet feel. But I'm guessing you did this on purpose to simplify the lesson. Thanks again.

    Hi, thanks for the video and notes
    I’m a relative beginner and wondered when improvising a generally single-note solo run or lick, are any rules of thumb about which notes to harmonise and when?
    I’ve noticed 4ths are often used
    For example in your solo run bar 22-23 you put in a single 3rd followed by a 4th
    The q applies to jazz as well as blues
    Thanks

    Im a guitarist that wants to learn some piano becouse i love the hammond and use plugins to try to get close to that sound, but also i wanted to learn more about being a musician vs being a guitarist that just plays guitar, i know a decent chunk of "theory" but i just wanna learn more and also put it into a more practical musical workframe, researching "blues piano course/lesson" found this video. I think this is the best i found yet, really great with great examples, and short basic simple explanation of how to put it into context.
    Could you reccomend me more content strictly about the blues? im not ready to jazzfy my piano playing just yet ;D
