Once you understand this chord structure, your piano playing will never be the same. It's used commonly in both Jazz and Neo Soul, but you'll really hear it used in an absolutely gorgeous way in modern Neo Soul-Inspired tracks that cross genres as well. A really important part of this sound is the dim(maj7) chord, i.e. a diminished triad with a major 7. The structure comes down to being built like a block chord, but with a major 7 instead of a 6. Use this over any melody or chord progression for a modern sound. Enjoy this jazz and Neo Soul piano tutorial with Noah Kellman.

What you'll learn:
1. The main structure of McCoy's Pentatonic Chord Voicings
2. How to gain full control, moving them diatonically according to the scale.

My DAD WAS MY BEST FRIEND. He would listen to jazz ( no trad!): he taught me so much . I miss sitting with him, listening together. Mum would go outside! My 1st gig l went too, l was 3yrs old , & DAVE BRUBECK was playing. I remember it. Dads ‘gone home’ now, & he left me these priceless jazz records, & CDs. ( about 20 thousand, no joke! ) We actually loved vinyl; the wow & flutter on some records, kinda sounded cool. 😉 Now l’m a broke muso, coz in OZSTRALYA, there’s lots of places you can’t play at; coz of COVID. Anyhoo, can’t wait until l play live again. Thanx for your perceptive on how you explain jazz. Stay Safe!! 🎹👊🏾 😃

For the first 24 years of my life I did nothing but eat, drink, breathe, sleep Piano. I started playing by ear when I was 2 years old. When I was 24 while I was paying out of pocket to put myself through college to get a Music Performance Degree, my index finger on my right hand (dominant hand) was crushed off of my hand by a 5,000 lb piece of machinery. I had 5 surgeries and almost a decade of physical therapy. My entire life was ruined and my whole future was taken away in a split second. The attorney I hired was a criminal and I received nothing for the injury. I have gone many many months as a homeless person. I am now 39 and left with a right hand that has the dexterity of a lobster claw. My only hope to get back into playing seriously again is to work on my Left hand. This video was very helpful as always Noah. I hope you make more like it soon.

Love these videos! You always manage to teach advanced concepts in such a succinct and digestible way. The diatonic movement of the fourths in the left hand combined with the modulations offers a really spectral sound. It also gives the left hand a rather active role. Looks like I have something new to practice!

I picked up the piano during covid, and before discovering your channel I was just finding song tutorials. Your channel is a game changer, it's the reason I started practicing more jazz/improv piano - Thanks so much! It's been super useful for being more systematic and being able to give a name to a "cool" chord and understand why it sounds good, and also for unblocking new arrangements I wouldn't have thought of trying. That chord voicing in Fourths sounds amazing btw! Can't wait to incorporate it more!

Also a great foundation for developing my own musical language based on quartal vocings and the McCoy Tyner sound. I´ve wanted this knowledge since I was eighteen. Now I'm 65 and this was really a jump start for my free improvisation.

@creamabdul-jabbar
@creamabdul-jabbar Год назад
Fourths do such a great job imparting airiness and space to a sound, especially when compared to closer voicings. It's an immediately recognizable sound from Tyner and the pianists who came after him (I've always associated the sound with 70s herbie.) Something I really enjoy doing with quartal voicings is combining them with a tense right hand voicing, preferably with a minor 2nd in there somewhere. You can balance out a lot of dissonance with a counterweight of consonance, especially in the bass.
@NoahKellman
@NoahKellman Год назад

Another brilliant lesson. Amazing how you continue to uncover these new concepts week after week. You've basically been my piano teacher the last year or so! I've learned so much about the instrument and just music in general. Constantly discovering new harmonies, chords and ideas for working with the keyboard. This pentatonic voicing has me recalling your stride lesson and how I can use these shapes to leap around with my left hand. This lesson has really planted some improvisational seeds. I wonder, what other kind of rhythmic patterns could you use in the left hand? I come from a drumming background and would be curious to see how less conventional rhythms could be incorporated around these chords, or accompanying melodic lines.
@Sic4ce
@Sic4ce Год назад
If I heard something like this at a jazz club I would think, Damn! this guy sounds legit! great job McCoy also did this stuff chromatically because once you do 2 stacked 4th it covers 6 tones and one 4 are played in a row it covers all 12 kind of a cool concept.

I think that the patent to use 4th voicings is to take the minor pentatonic of a some key and omit every other degree then it produces patterns for ex: 1-4-7-b3-5 and so on from different degrees

Oh man, I want this piano so bad I can‘t see straight. I‘ll say anything to get it! But all that aside, I have gotten SO MUCH out of your videos. My practice list has become so big that I spend hours shedding on your material. What‘s gotten me most, lately, are the chord arpeggios. I particularly like the One with the Tritone in the right hand. And the licks are great too. I‘m rather anti lick on the gig, but believe they are good for the learning process. I tend to break them down into rudiments, in the hope that they flow out naturally on the gig, so their not forced. Also the stride vid has been extremely helpful. Thanks!
@Marcalos963
@Marcalos963 Год назад
I like the sound of this voicing. It has a cool layed back sound. It sounds like the way a cool jazz musician would talk like if everyone spoke in music instead of words. All the other young musicians coming to listen to this guy play want to sound like him too. They'd all go home after the gig and practice in front of the mirror talking to themselves, jamming like he did.

I’ve been learning a lot from your videos about harmony, and I commend you for your commitment to educating us. Cool to think this resource will be there forever! I teach between 3 schools on trailers and none have a piano. It would be dope to be able to have a keyboard in the class room and move it between the schools. I used to teach on a nice big room with a piano, and I definitely miss accompanying my students. Keep it up bro. ❤️
