That's the intro to Round Midnight isn't it?

[@KentHewittpiano88]

Yes...it is similar...good observation...no one else got that!

[@harrisbeatsfrankou6304]

brilliant could never get my head around the II dim to voice well, amazing, I do this in Majors, via novello, but your are more succinct, this will take me next level too use as a basic for improve nd different rhythms.
A favorite video.

[@KentHewittpiano88]

Thanks for telling me...very helpful!

[@BobMazzo]

Great exercise can thank you. Can I ask you what software you use for streaming and showing your keyboard and the staff ?

[@KentHewittpiano88]

Chordie and OBS studio...but they are complicated...just so you know!

[@BobMazzo]

@KentHewittpiano88 I literally just watched a British lady explaining her whole setup...she has exactly that. Plus a Usb to her laptop...

[@BobMazzo]

@KentHewittpiano88 I'm fairly technical, but yes I know. Lol. Thanks Ken.

[@JeremyL1983]

Thank you Kent! I will try out this exercise!
Would also like to know if there are any exercises specific for the left hand or forming hand independence

[@KentHewittpiano88]

Yes...please write to my email. Also go to my channel page and look up Playlists for specifics.

[@TheRealSandleford]

that is useful and the half diminished with the eleven is very much a 4 chord with that wonderful flat 5. if particular, that 4 chord would be from a key a 4th up. V too contains it like a 7/3/4 of Vm11 moving down two half steps ... that four b5 major chord would be the key a 3rd down... still working out impact that could make

[@KentHewittpiano88]

Thanks for sharing your perceptive observations!

[@TheRealSandleford]

@@KentHewittpiano88 Hi Ken! Of course thank you for the fine contributions!

[@Alcedo-q8q]

Great lesson! Love these harmonies! I notice that the two first upper extensions, i.e. the right hand chords are the same chord, just transposed up a minor third. I think you say that, but I didn't notice. The upper extension of the D7#5 is actually the same as the Am7b5 (or Am11b5) transposed up a third to Cm7b5 (Cm11b5). Makes it easier to remember for me.

[@KentHewittpiano88]

Thanks for the observation. I did point that out in the video and mentioned that I worked that out ahead of time.

[@brucejeric6701]

Another great lesson. Similar to another video you had for minor 2-5-1’s with altered extensions. I just love all this !!! Thanks so much. Is the pdf in mudic downloads?

[@KentHewittpiano88]

Yes, Bruce ...and thanks so much!

[@Viajerosl007]

Do you have a similar exercise for major keys?

[@brucejeric6701]

Look at his videos. You’ll find it

[@KentHewittpiano88]
