So glad to hear this Antonio! You can explore these combinations for years - 3rds up and down, plus Kenny Barron voicing... as well as other voicings like rootless chord voicings. Do you have a request for a future lesson?
Can't avoid recollecting those sublime musical landscapes of Claude Debussy: «floating imobility» aroused by 3rds enchainements; a sound caleydoscope. These lesson are a priceless contribution to understand how jazz harmonies can be created. Can't thank you more. Congrats and keep up the good work.
What an awesome lesson, thank you for taking the time to make and post this! Inspired to sit down at my piano tomorrow and give it a go! I’ve been stuck trying to improvise thinking in only scale degrees, so this is great - opens me up to a different thought pattern.
This was a fantastic tutorial! Once you snag the feel... it morphs into all kinds of fun stuff. Great for intermediate beginners with basic skills. Rewarding to noodle around with. Thank You!!!
My man..., you sir, is broadening my views about Kenny Baron's voicing, with my head & hearts has been decades full with this kind of chord progression in almost any music genres, but mainly because Ryuichi Sakamoto and Ahmad Dhani.
That means so much DREAMING - thank you for your kind words. I have a similar lesson teaching composition coming next. Do you have a request for a future lesson?
I've been using the descending version for years but I embarrassingly never realized how beautiful it sounds ascending. The descending one is essentially a VIm9 IVmaj9 progression modulating in 4ths. So it gets a shade darker every two chords. The ascending version, is IVmaj9 VIm7 conversely moving in 5ths, getting a shade brighter at a time. I love these chord voicings, BTW.
Wonderful, beautifully played and thoroughly explained tutorial! I would like to ask for a tutorial on playing chromatic "fill-ins" instead of sitting on one chord for one or several measures (which would replace a "static" chord) and lend movement to a solo. Thank you very much Julian and Happy 2021!!
Sometimes Jazz chords can sound a bit heady and intellectually heavy but these chords progressions are really beautiful Julian. Medicine for the noisy, cluttered mind :-) Thank you :-) 10/10
Julian, your videos are always clear but this one in particular is beautifully concise. Thank you for creating these highly informative tutorials. I'm a guitarist first, but my piano playing has improved immensely from watching your content. What I enjoy most about your tutorials is the musical application that I hear. Theory/Techniques are all well and good but applying them to making music has to be the ultimate goal. Clearly you subscribe to that view ;)
This officially my favorite video I learned alot , as much as I know about music, I never heard of Kenny Barron! now im googling the name left and right ... thank-you!
