Very useful remark at 15':05 "either the inner or the outer voices move together"

@milesyalzin2018 2 года назад

This video needs a lot more views, you're so clear and to the point, everything's so easy to understand.

@JeremySiskind 2 года назад

Thank you, Miles!!! Let’s get those views 😂

@p1anosteve 3 года назад

Your explanations are so clear Jeremy. I hope you're going to also cover shell voicing for minor 2 5 1.

@JeremySiskind 3 года назад

I'll add it to the list. Thanks, Steve!

@ToyeJohnson 7 месяцев назад

That was a great comprehensive breakdown of voice leading, and it opened up understandings for other theory and the purpose for them. Especially shined a light when you showed the difference and purpose in alternating the voices as opposed to not alternating.

Thank you, Marilyn! It means a lot coming from a master-teacher like you!

@JRiggs9 3 года назад

Great class. It was very interesting the way you structured the shell chords into 3-7 ... 5-9 ... A and B. The suggestion on moving forward to next (ii-IV-I) key will be very helpful when practicing them . . . Thank you so much!

@farmz0r 2 года назад

thanks for the lesson! Halfway through I just sat down to pracc using type A chords for a bit and thought I'd share some insight: if you got the hand grips down, all you need to do is to find/aim for the current chord's root to put your hands right AROUND it (left hand goes 1 below the root, right hand 1 above). Super easy, at least while being in C.

@JeremySiskind 2 года назад

Ah, cool! You're talking about the top note here, right? That's a nice way to think about it!

@alexandros_haralabidis Год назад

Great teacher and excellent sense of humour! Enlightening and enjoyable! -May we use 3rd/2nd finger for the low note of the left hand as standard fingering? (This gives the possibility of occasionally playing the bass too). -Are your books available in hardcopy in Europe? Cheers from Athens, Greece.

@JeremySiskind Год назад

Hi Alexandros - first, the easy question - for hard copy versions of my books in Europe, you can order from Amazon.com. Now, regarding fingering, these are not voicings you would use while playing a bass note so I would recommend mostly using 4/5 for the bottom note. You might be interested in my video on “She’ll Voicings,” which do include the bass note.

@francescomanfredi 3 года назад

Jeremy this lesson is the perfect starting point for beginners like me, that love the concepts of your book but have many holes in the jazz ground. Now I wonder what is the second voicings lesson: some more formulas or how to apply the first formula to a song? By the way the sound of the video is now much better!

@JeremySiskind 3 года назад

I hope the second lesson answered some of your questions!

@anastasiagulai5782 Год назад

Hello , Jeremy, I wonder why if we play the ninth tone we still write the chord down as a seventh chord? I mean why we don’t write c-e-g-b-d as C9?

@JeremySiskind Год назад

Ah, very interesting question. I think I will make it the subject of a future video. But here's the short answer - chord symbols are meant to give information, not instructions. So generally if a chord lists an extension like a 9th or 13th it is indicating that somebody *else* is playing that note, not that you need to. We are always welcome to add upper extensions to our chords.

@robertsteele1586 2 года назад

Hi Jeremy, when you work out these 4 note 2 5 1 voicings in minor, do you recommend b3 and b7 in the left hand of the minor7 b5 chords or root and b5 Also, would C3 and C4 still be the outer limits? I’m enjoying your solo piano book. Thank you.

@JeremySiskind 2 года назад

Oof big questions. I’m writing this into my next book now. I generally still recommend 3 and 7 in the left hand but the color tones become more negotiable. Yes, the outer limits (for the lowest note!) would remain the same.
