    This undersells the right hand work. A lot of making jazz make sense is just landing on obvious chord tones on accents which you probably do instinctively now.

    @ThorsShadow Před 10 měsíci +2

    What will differentiate an advanced player from a beginner in this is how well you'll be able to incorporate notes, that aren't within the major pentatonic and might sound a little or a lot of. Making those choices deliberately and making it still sound musical, that comes with practice and of course knowing your music theory. Music theory is the grammar to the language of music.

    Seriously, just start with this and then learn when and how it sounds good TO YOU to break these rules. Then learn to transpose it and inject other chords. Then add more and more over time. This is what being a musician is.

    • @nialltownley1788
      @nialltownley1788 Před 2 lety +81

      he's playing rootless voicings:
      D-7 he plays F A C E (the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th leaving out the root D)
      G7 he plays F A B D (7th, 9th, 3rd and 5th leaving out the root G)
      Cmaj7 he plays E G B D (3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th) ... you get the idea
      the last time he plays F Ab B Eb on the G7 which is the 7th b9th 3 b13th so G7(b9, b13)
      keyboard players usually leave out the root in their left hand voicings as they would be played by the bass and let you put in more extensions
      hope this helped!

      They're not. He's playing the upper voices of each chord, and had the bass played the root the chords would have been Dm9-G7(add13)-Cmaj9
      The issue is - the bass doesn't. At first there's no bass, so the chords sound like Fmaj7-Dm65 (or Fmaj7 add#4 but that's unlikely)-Em7. Then when the bass comes in... it confirms those exact chords.
      It's only in the second half of the video that the bass switches to playing D-G-C, making the chords the ones he actually said.
