I liked how you took the time to got through each chord and its properties - just right for a class of youngsters at school:-). Thanks for this.

@Markrspooner 2 года назад

This is a fantastic lesson. I have watched many of your videos and love them, but always felt I had to search out some of the basics of jazz to watch them, so really glad to see you covering this ♥️

@micwarren21 2 года назад

Thanks, all these years I’ve been dropping down from the chord, much quicker to think up.

@GordonZoot 2 года назад

Wow! this is a revelation to me, yet so simple. I've always spent ages on deciding how to voice chords to avoid that muddy sound but this is really effective - the best video I've seen this year, thanks :)

Rethinking my last comment while having coffee, always thought of drop 2 and 4 in band voicings. Ex 4 horns playing closed voicing Em7. If I raised the 2 and 4 th range or dynamic would change dramatically. Old way of dropping would keep dynamics between parts more evenly. Raising or lowering gives 2 different inversions of the same chord. Is the video geared more for piano comping? Either way they are both good tools. Especially for string parts.

@mDecksMusic 2 года назад

Yes. That's why it is called drop 2+4. It is an arranging technique. The perspective we showed is more tuned to piano voicings

@Hexspa 2 года назад

Thanks for the explanation. I'd like to add that some might hear 'open voicing' to be defined as a chord which is voiced beyond one octave. Closed voicing is the converse.

@mDecksMusic 2 года назад

That's correct for 7th chords. Yes. Once you have 9, 11 or 13 chords, even closed voicings go above the octave.

@Hexspa 2 года назад

@@mDecksMusic So a closed-voiced 13th chord isn't just every note in a scale mashed down within one octave? I always heard that a 2 is a 9 so long as the seventh is present and not whether the 9 is voiced above or below it. From what I'm reading, playing sequential thirds or seconds is a matter of 'spacing' as opposed to 'open or closed' which seems to refer exclusively to whether the voices are within one octave. Please feel free to state your opinion - I'm here to learn and not judge.
