I keep coming back to Aimee Nolte Music when I feel lost. There are so many videos out there, but you create an ideal balance between theory, example, and insight. It just works like magic. Thanks so much!

1:33 Aimee’s rule about piano register - where to play  1:55 2-note voicings (3rds and 7ths with good voice leading)  2:44 jumping back up after a drop 3:12 2-note voicings (cont.) 5:54 closed 4-note rootless voicings  8:26 open 4-note rootless voicings (great for comping a soloist with a simple foundation) 11:29 6-note voicings (great for adding a non-intrusive melody behind a soloist who's building) 13:30 using your options, combining techniques 14:19 "three and two" or "two and three"

Hi, in order to find the best register for rootless left-hand voicings I once heard a piano teacher give the advice: "play them where the piano lid shows *Steinway*" ;-)

@johnd.4536 4 года назад

Thats a great voicing for the C7 #9b5. I usually use the b5 with a 9 so this altered dominant with #9 was hard to hear but your voicing sounds great. The 4 -note voicings (either closed or open) you use are perfect for the vibraphone.

@nylophone5730 3 года назад

I've put off getting to grips with rootless voicing for years, despite knowing of their existence. I've got no excuses now

@TresSeaver 4 года назад

Cool to watch. My main instrument for jazz is the guitar, where I routinely play 3- and 4-string chords, avoiding the root. I'm always jealous of the freedom pianists have when comping: many "obvious" voicings for the piano are flat impossible on the guitar. Because of your videos, I have had a lot of fun playing around on the keyboard with just 3-7 on the right hand against 1-5 stuff on the left (about the limit of my keyboard skillz).

@BMarPiano 4 года назад

And btw, You may be only person on the planet, and I listen to countless people in the media who consider themselves journalists, for decades, who knows that the only place for the phrase "in the past' , without creating a redundancy, is as an opening statement; the first words of the first sentence of the tome. Great grammar. Great structure. You preserve the sanctity of the art form with your teaching and you do the same with the language of English. All great musicians know how to listen.

Thanks, Aimee. This makes sense. I will watch those other videos too.

@BillyMcBride 4 года назад

When you were doing the open voicings, it looked as if your right hand was playing a part of the next chord in advance with the chord you were on, and then as you moved ahead, you picked up the chord to come with your right hand with every change.

@AimeeNolte 4 года назад

Many of the notes are common between chords. Yes, watch the other videos. :)

Thanks for producing and sharing all the great videos.

@macharptube 4 года назад

I grasp and can locate the whole 3 rds a and 7ths concept but need some sort of finger choice guide otherwise when attempting to add the additions then having to rearrange the fingers defeats the purpose. Hopefully this makes sense. Would also like to say that I really appreciated the Moon dance lesson it was a great help. As a longtime blues harp and sax player swing comes fairly natural to me. The technique on piano is a different achievement entirely. Thanks for your help in getting there.

@vincentm614 4 года назад

Thats facinating. Im a bass player and I want to learn upper extension chords on 4 string electric bass. Im thinking it might be easier to leave out the root and play 3rds and 7ths along with upper extensions because of the limitations of that instrument. Pianist seem to have such a great advantage once they know voice leadings. My guess is that when say a non pianist writes a tune most of the time they simply use 7ths and let the pianist use their discretion as to how to voice chords.

@AimeeNolte 4 года назад

A lot of the time this is the case. I have a video about choosing altered dominant or I go into more depth about this. I’m so glad bass players are watching my video. :-)

Switching major chords by fourths is a good idea because it occurs often in standards. So like, from Cma to Fma and so forth

I notice you put the 6th in the maj 7 chords so that it has both. 7th in the left, 6th in the right. Is that always the case?

@viktorschou4985 3 года назад

Hi Aimee, thank you for the video. Nice run-through. If you, lets say, have a Eb6/9 chord, and you want to play it with an open voicing, what to you do in you left hand? No seven to play, i assume? :)

@AimeeNolte 3 года назад

Use G, Bb, C and F. Replace that 7 with the 5. Open voicing possibility is GCFBb. Quartal! Stacked fourths!

@ruisousa7967 4 года назад

I never had a music teacher, i learn most by net and by thinking by myself on the theory i already know. Saying that, i think of 7s or 6s like 2 chords played at same time, so if im playing a C7major, i think of a C major and an E minor together, so a Rootless C for me in that case its just an E minor. Should i stop seeing this kind of chords this way?

@RobyMBeki 4 года назад

@Rui_Sousa Well, if you are playing E minor in any kind of voicing the bassist is actually the main guy choosing if he's going for a C to make it a CM7 or CM9 ect. He musn't just go there he has many other options 12 to be exact. He could play Em/G (making it G6) or something crazy like G13/F, it's still just you playing Em7 in second inversion and him playin F. Music is all about compromise, communication and cooperation (the three C's of playing together). I hope this gave you a clearer viewpoint or a whole new perspective on how far you've come. Happy playing and progressing.

@ruisousa7967 4 года назад

@@RobyMBeki Thank you very much for the response. I understand that, my question was more if i should try to process this chords on my brain as stacking triads or a single complex chord.

My Jazz Bible is a great little cheat sheet. Lots of people keep one on their piano all the time to figure out chord voicings.

@Dobroz99 2 года назад

Thanks Aimee. I am not a piano player really, can play some chords. So would playing the third and seven of each chord be the first thing I should learn and internalize to play rootless chords. I think I need to train my brain not to look for the root every time I see a chord.

You see Aimee, it seems that there are TWO KIND OF PEOPLE playing Jazz: group A are those who kind a like 'to call it a day' and then STOP the BRAINWORK and simply allow THE FEELING to take over; group B are those who were and are ALWAYS 24/7 occupied with BRAINWORK(DIZZY GILLISPIE!!). You can almost hear them DOING THE MATH while playing. Feel Free To Correct Me, If I'm Wrong....P.s. No Offence Intended!!!
