I absolutely love your tutorials! I'm concentrating on this one right now, twelve keying the different voicing sessions. Keep the videos coming. You have a great style of teaching!
This is fantastic! Good to see that it is OK to use closed voicings for comping. I also really like the closed voicings with octaves on top. I use that but wondered if it is acceptable. Great to hear the sound of open voicing comping vs closed voicing comping. Thanks so much.
Wanneer je je terug wat wilt toeleggen op piano en je toevallig uitkomt bij een tutorial van je 'oude' leerkracht! Fijn! Bedankt voor de heldere video, Stijn!
He Kaat! Zo tof! Lang geleden..! Leuk dat je de video bruikbaar vindt, en super dat je je terug toelegt op piano! :-) Hopelijk alles goed met jou, en mssch tot een volgende keer? En als je wil mag je altijd reclame maken voor mijn YT kanaal.. :-)
Great video! My wife wanted to hear the difference in style and sound of closed vs open voicings using the same song. Accidentally came upon this video. I also like to see the same song played with different techniques - spread, closed LH, walking bass, stride, block chords, etc.
Thanks a lot. All your videos are extremely helpful. Greatly appreciate your work and the chance you give so many of us to learn and improve our jazz skills. Cheers.
Just what I have been looking for. I don’t know my chords but I read music well and with the chords in the left hand, I can use my Clavinova piano jazz accompaniment tracks to make it sound really good. Thanks a lot. 👍
My professional jazz piano-playing instructor and I are jamming all over this nice “set-up” of a classic tune (Bill Evans - Explorations ‘61 with bassist Scott Lafaro and Paul Motian drums) for the next week or so. Thank you for great job you do of stimulating our playing. Never gets old playing this tune, swinging all the way. I think I like comping part as much as simply playing the melody. Note that Victor Young also penned “Stella by Starlight”. Yo, what’s up with the missing solo tips?
I noticed your open voicing section used all rooted voicings. You can also have open voicings that are rootless, right? I think you did some of those at the very end of the closed voicing section. I looked back; no you didn't - they were closed voicing on the bottom with upper structures in the right hand.
Thanks a lot! I often use iReal Pro to make the backing tracks, but for this tutorial I used this backing track: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VAsOmSTLKho.html It's a great channel!
Hi, I think these voicings (close & open) are quite standard and even basic for an experienced jazz pianist, but if you are new to jazz and have little understanding of jazz harmony, this could be too difficult.. I would say skill level intermediate?.. :-)
