Moanin' with Close Voicings and Comping
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 06. 2024
- Practice your close voicings with this groovy standard "Moanin'".
Close voicings are often called "rootless voicings", or - when played in the left hand - "left hand voicings". They are the foundation of jazz piano playing, and should be practiced until they become second nature!
For maj7 and min7 chords we use 9th chords (maj9 and min9) without the root. For dom7 chords we use guide tones + 9 and 13, again without the root.
Since Moanin' is written in a minor tonality (F minor), we should treat the Fm chord as a first degree which is usually played as a min6 chord!

@@amedeolsecco7611 hi, you can find my email address in the video description!
@@StijnWauters thank you mate
Hi, can we have a video for Bunkasai Medley from Kids on the Slope?
Great explanation of how to approach a standard for an intermediate jazz pianist like me. You have revealed so many 'secrets' in a short tutorial . Usually teachers give you one bit of information (in far too much depth), whereas you have given tons of information in bitesize chunks. This is basically a blueprint for how I can practice other songs. Thank you for your work, this is awesome
lots of good jazz piano lessons can be found on line. BUT NONE BETTER THAN YOURS. THANKS
Thanks a lot!
Thats the best jazz tutorial i have seen so far
Wow! You ROCKED that standard!
This channel is incredible. I don't know how i could have been ignoring it so far
Thanks a lot!
Hello. Stijin.Your lecture is special. Thank you so much.
You've given me and so many other pianists just the greatest frikin tools. Your the best.
Thanks man!
Amazing video, I am learning Moanin' and this is so helpful - many thanks and keep up the good work!!
I've listened to this several times. Just because I want to hear it again.
This is exactly what I have been searching for three years! I’m in tears 😭Anything is missing. I would love a tutorial that covers the position of the closed voicings.
Thanks, man! I have a tutorial on the closed voicings (in II V I): czcams.com/video/QdOSNBFWUrQ/video.html Hope it's helpful as well!
@@StijnWauters Thank you, I saw it. I'm seeking some other positions for major chord closed voicings beyond the two present in the II-V-I.
I love how you add techniques bit by bit throughout the video, very helpful!! Can't wait to give it a shot!
Holy cow! It’s the best video about moanin. Thx a lot.
Super jazz piano knowledge! Thanks for teaching!!!!
Great stuff Stijn...lots to learn here...thanks for the share. -Sean

Every Mornin' finds me moanin'
I'm alone and crying the blues
I'm so tired of paying the dues
Everybody knows I'm moanin'
Every evening I am moanin'
'Cause of all I the trouble I see
Life's a loosing gamble to me
Everybody knows I moanin'
Lord, I spend many a days and nights alone with my grief
And I pray, really and truly pray
Somebody will come and bring me relief
Every mornin' finds me moanin'
I'm alone and crying the blues
I'm so tired of paying my dues
Everybody knows I'm moanin'
Lord, I spend many a days and nights alone with my grief
And I pray, really and truly pray
Somebody will come and bring me relief
[Repeat: x4}
Everybody knows I'm moanin'

Thanks a lot!
Fantastic! Found dominant blues lick #7 in your solo. Lol. Have a nice sunday.
Hi, that’s true! Hadn’t notice it myself.. :-)
Hi. :) I have a question. At 04:04 we have a G7. I tried to follow you and to play a G dominant/altered scale on it but it doesn't sound good to my ears. I noticed you correctly didn't play any note on it. Could you explain why this appens?
Many thanks.
@@marcopepe4046 Hi, I think it's a coincidence I didn't play anything on the G7 there. You could definitely play something on that chord, and the G7altered scale would be a good choice. But it's important you make it work and resolve to the C7 chord that comes after. You could play an altered line like the one I played on F7 two bars before that G7 (transpose the line 1 step up of course, and resolve to the E natural on C7). One thing I try to do is pick a few notes of the altered scale that resolve to the next chord (I seldom play the whole scale on just 1 bar).
Hope that was a bit of help..? :-)
Many thanks, you're very kind... I need to try!
Super tutorial! Thank you so much!
Absolutely great!
Awesome! Thank You! The best voicing classes on You Tube!
Thanks a lot, Anders!
Super ! Merci
Oh my, there are levels to this.

Thanks a lot man! This helped me to understand the structure of the tune more. Keep up the good works!
this is so brilliant! thank you so much! Your teaching method is perfect! No bullshit - straight to the point - and with such depth! Incredible! Thanks again. (I love you :D)
Thanks a lot! Glad you like the tutorial!
Man, this is the best turotial I've ever seen. For whatever reason, Moanin' is just stuck in my mind and in my soul, and I'd love to be able and play it. Hope you don't mind if I bother you via email for the sheet :-)
Thanks a lot! Just sent you the pdf..! Enjoy! :-)
Extraordinaire. Exactement joué comme boby Timmons. Merci de tout nous montrer. Vous très fort et très généreux.
Merci beaucoup!
Very good, Stijn! You make all those voicings and bass-lines look easy! (I 'm sure they are not :-)! )
So many great lessons on this channel. Thank You!
Thanks a lot!
It’s hard to play by video, but I can!!! It’s amazing. I’m confused and happy (:

Thanks a lot!
Superb
Hermoso!!!!!
Great video man
Thanks a lot!
man your good!!!
Thanks a lot!
This is amazing! Never seen a better tutorial! Btw I just saw that on 0:52 in the Gminor chord the Bb note isn't flattened after the b natural
Thanks a lot! I checked the notes at 0’52”, but I couldn’t find a mistake..? I am sure there plenty in other measures or videos :-) but there it looks fine..
If you didn’t go to church today ... well relax.
Put on the original Bobby Timmons recording with Blakey. Then just practice along with this fine Moanin’ tutorial. You’ll be in Heaven.
Thanks, man! :-)
I would like to learn piano like you teach. Do you have any course for begginners?
