PDF Notation: https://www.pianogroove.com/resources/soulful-blues-chord-voicings/ In this lesson we will take a basic 1625 progression and transform the progression with soulful blues piano chords. I’ll show you some beautiful blues piano chords and soulful melodic embellishments that we can use when playing jazz, blues, and other styles of improvised music. Whilst we can create progressions with the basic diatonic 7th chords, we also have the creative freedom to change the chord qualities to create more interesting harmonic and melodic possibilities. In particular we can change diatonic minor chords to dominant chords which give us a bluesier and more soulful sound. 0:00 Blues Piano Chords 0:38 The 1625 Progression 1:48 Blues Chord Voicings Techniques 5:06 Melodic Embellishment 6:19 Suspended Passing Chords 7:32 Transpose To F Major 8:54 Chromatic Melody Lines 10:48 Apply To A Jazz Standard #bluespiano #jazzpiano #blues piano chords #blues piano chord progressions #blues chord voicings #jazz piano chord voicings #blues piano tutorial #blues piano lesson #blues piano lessons intermediate #soulful blues chord progressions #slow blues piano tutorial #slow blues piano lesson #blues and jazz chords #pianogroove #jazz piano #blues piano #jazz piano lesson #dominant chord voicings #altered chord voicings #altered chord voicings piano #251 progression #1625 progression #jazz piano progressions

PDF Workbook: https://www.pianogroove.com/chord-progression-workbook/ In this lesson we explore the 4736251 formula as a framework for creating jazz chord progressions. We start with a discussion of the diatonic harmony in the key of Eb major including the diatonic 7th chords, 3 note voicings, and common progressions such as the 251 progression, 36251 progression, and the 4736251 progression. We then introduce more sophisticated voicings and voicing techniques to create a beautiful chord progression. We work individually through each chord in our progression to discuss voicings options and techniques to create a lush and beautiful chord progression.

Connect The Octaves with Fluidity In the previous lessons of this course we explored playing the melody in the middle register of the piano, the higher register of the piano, and also with octave melody lines. This lesson will show you a useful technique to connect these registers together so that you can decide to change the register of the melody at any point during the performance. 0:00 Jazz Piano Arpeggio Fills 0:52 Keep Melody Consistent 2:38 Contours Of Arpeggios 4:27 Diminished Arpeggios 6:57 Double Note Arpeggios 8:35 UST Fills & Arpeggios 9:18 Recap Of Key Principles #jazzpiano #jazztutorial #jazz piano fills #jazz piano runs #easy jazz piano fills #jazz piano runs for beginners #jazz piano arpeggios #jazz piano improvisation #jazz piano lesson #jazz piano tutorial #jazz piano #pianogroove #the nearness of you tutorial #jazz piano chords #how to read lead sheets #learn jazz piano

► PDF & Next Lesson: https://www.pianogroove.com/jazzy-jingle-bells/ Jingle Bells Jazz Piano Tutorial In this lesson we introduce the tune Jingle Bells and explore the core pillars of the harmony before reharmonising and arranging the tune. Click the link above to download a full transcription of the arrangment and an annotated lead sheet which shows the original chord changes in black and colour-coded reharmonisations and chord substitutions. Inner Voice Movement A very simple but effective device for reharmonising Christmas songs is to use inner voice movement. This is particularly effective when we have the same chord type over multiple bars, for example the first 3 bars of Gmaj7. We can use the inner voice of 5, to #5, to 6 and this adds additional colour and tension to an extended period of a single chord type. Triads & Passing Chords We start by arranging the tune using simple triad voicings in our left hand. This allows us to clearly visualise the core harmonic pillars of the tune which are the 1, 4, & 5 chords. We then gradually layer our reharmonisations, start with simple 25 approach and passing chords and place these before the core chord changes. We touch upon some more advanced reharmonisation principles such as introducing the 3 and 6 chords and how to experiment with tritone substitutes. 00:00 Performance & Introduction 04:38 Inner Voices Over Gmaj7 08:25 Passing Chords Based On 25s 14:28 Diatonic Reharmonisations 18:28 Inner Voices, 3625s, & Tritone Subs 24:20 Voicings Recap & Summary #jazzpianolessons #jingle bells jazz piano #jingle bells reharmonised #christmas jazz piano lesson #jazz piano tutorial #xmas jazz piano songs

This sounds like a complicated subject, but in fact, this is a concept which will help you simplify your view of the piano. A Traditional View Of Intervals When we learn music theory, we learn about 3rds, 5ths, 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, and so we can think of intervals as an ascending number in relation to the note that’s called the 1. However, this is a very linear way of describing something that is not linear at all. Viewing Intervals As Orbital Vectors An orbital vector is something that instead of being progressively father away, it reaches a point and turns around. If we look at the note “C” as our ‘centre of gravity’, when we reach the 5th above, we can also see this as a 4th below. Jovino demonstrates how you can applying this logic to common cadences such as the 251, 36251, and 4736251. 0:00 Resolution & Cadence 2:53 Gravity In Music 4:01 Orbital Interval Theory 7:35 Chord Progression Demonstrations #piano intervals #jazz piano lesson #jazz piano intervals #251 progression #36251 progression
