In this series of videos I cover jazz piano voicings. I'll go through a number of different voicings which will make any jazz song sound strong and professional.
This Jazz Piano Tutorial is about the So What Chord Voicing. This chord voicing derives its name from the song 'So What' by Miles Davis. In this song the pianist, Bill Evans, plays a particular chord voicing which has become known as the So What Chord.
The So What Chord is two handed chord voicing made up of 5 notes and built up out of 3 intervals of Perfect Fourths and a Major 3rd on top. So for example the D So What Chord is: D-G C-F-A
This D So What Chord can function as a Dm11, BbMaj13, EbMaj13#11 or G9sus chord.
Chords built largely out of fourths rather than thirds (such as the So What Chord) are considered much more 'modern' sounding. They are a bit more ambiguous and do not sound like they need to resolve to any particular chord.
