Voicing simple 7th chords in every key is something all jazz pianists (and pianists who play from lead sheets in general) should be able to do. Without getting too fancy with 9ths and 13ths and altered tones, I'd like to help you be able to simply voice all major, minor, dominant and half diminished chords simply and beautifully with this very musical exercise.

@yimskykatzikoff7408 2 года назад

Being a guy, I tend to brute-force my way through fingerings, and it was no different with this exercise. Focusing on the left hand, I played all the fifths with the thumb and pinky, which involves a lot of bouncing arm travel, which is what I do. But then I watched your left hand. You play the first fifth with your thumb and third finger, and the second fifth with your pinky and index finger, which is so much more efficient and, dare I say, elegant. Thank you once again for a great lesson.

@studentsteph 2 года назад

Best chord exercise I've come across. It opens up my adaptivity to certain chord changes and chord structures in a way that I've never experienced before. So simple and elegant. Ian is a genius. Regarding the exercise, I'd even go as far as to make the very last chord alternate from minor to major, acting as the dominant 7 to the first chord in the exercise (e.g. the last 4 chords can be: Bm7b5 - E7 | Am7 - A7... going back into the Dmin7)

@maurocaputi2700 2 года назад

Yes, I think the A7 is a secondary dominant, the V of the ii chord, or V/ii (A7 - Dm7), a strong dom chord pull to the Dm7.

@Julia29853 11 месяцев назад

@@maurocaputi2700so that would be used if you wanted to practice say that whole first line over and over, going from the Amin to A7 leads back to the first chord -Dmin ?

So soothing when she sings also "ba tha tha da ..." very nice indeed. I'm damn purchasing this. Rarely like to purchase something without huge research cos a lot of recycled information out there at different prices. This intuitively is absolutely worth it. Buying for my son who's is 14, don't know any musical theory but damn can just play amazingly hence last year I couldn't play the piano or thought in my life I'd be grade 3 standard. I did it to help my son with theory but when he does his own music he just goes off. His singing teacher say he's a genius and doesn't even know it. The piano is a throw away, out of tune but sounds so good when he plays. This chord guide will help him. Thank you so much for something immeasurably invaluable and affordable.

@noahcarver6072 4 года назад

Coincidentally, the Ab minor 7 is one of the first 7th chords I learned and can nail it in any spot in any inversion. I found that interesting. Otherwise, I am a complete and utter novice in every other regard. By the way, it is hauntingly beautiful how you sing that melody.

@DojoOfCool 4 года назад

Practicing chords in cycles is the bread and butter of learning jazz comping. Then what helped me was when doing mindless things like cardio at the gym or driving somewhere I would just drill myself on chords spelling just like a kid drills times tables to learn them. Amy's advice on seeing, hearing, and saying to yourself the name of the chords when doing your tune/exercise is key building the ear, brain, hand connection. Then time to work on voicing leading and Drop 2's to build on your tune/exercise.

@patriciodasilva7902 4 года назад

What i did as a 20 something back in the 70s was to do flash cards on intervals, and if you know that, everything falls into place. In the key f , what is the 4th, in the key of F, what is the 5th, and onward to all of them. I did that every day until had them mastered.

@DojoOfCool 4 года назад

One they had us do in music school and I did outside of school to was pick a note and say what it is in all keys. So F is tonic of F, F is the 7 of G, F is the 3 of Db and so on. Helps see all the possibilities a note offers. Lots of ways to drill this stuff into your brain.

@laceyvideos 4 года назад

@@DojoOfCool A is the two of G, F is the 7 of G? Cool way to think about a chords purpose though. Thanks for sharing.

@petemitchell1973 4 года назад

For the second pattern, you can make it similarly melodic by going up to the 9th (or b9th in measure 3) on the 2nd beat of each measure. Also, finish the ending with a walk of the 7th down the 5th (similar to the 3rd walking up to the 5th in the first pattern). It gives the two exercises a complementary feel.

Still working on the piano part, but so far I've learned something eye opening, and it is how to use the IV as a pivot, to connect a maj 251 to a min one. Great lesson as usual! Soon as I have somewhat control over these chords and can navigate freely though them, I am enrolling in that vocal course of yours over at musichabit.

@AimeeNolte 4 года назад

That’s great Jean! I hope you like it!

@jeanounou 4 года назад

Back again! Your method is so effective, and is truly helping! Seeing 7th chords as a combo of two power chords; one, in each hand, is so smart, and it made things so easier and logical, for me. I can play the whole chord proggy now, in all 12keys and in both positions, so I don't need to wonder too far from middle of keyboard, yeeeey! I can't play the melody (yet) though :-( I have also tried a few other standards, such as All the things, and Take me to the moon, and I can accompany myself quite decently. Working on speed now. I can already see where this is going; Adding the melody on top, and later on the chord extensions! Man, that's going to be hard! What do they say; the more I learn, the more I realize how little I know!

You are still the BEST out there Aimee!

@keithcitizen4855 4 года назад

It's an incredible excersice in logic, EG 2,5,1 X 2 plus an up a fourth in the middle adds up to seven progressions, the next move eight is a change of key , one flat then two then three ETC Guess another learning method would be to write out your own PDF chart. As Amy said the up a fourth can lead to other directions.

The entire last year I have been looking for something like this, and I even tried to do it by myself (and failed). So this is really what I was looking for! I do not mind to make drills but the ones I have are kind of mechanical or really fragmented chord progressions. And of course the same scheme Major bridge relative minor and melody can be adjusted to any voicing I would like to practice! I have just bought the score just to get it right from the start. Thanks Aimee!

@alejandromedina2349 3 года назад

@bruceboome 3 года назад

Interesting These are the most common voicings used by guitarists- forced upon us by the tuning, which makes most closed voicings difficult. They're known as drop two voicings, formed by lowering the second-highest voice of a closed voicing by an octave. This exercise is mostly playable on guitar, but some voicings need adjustment- keys like Bb are not so guitar-friendly. I enjoy your channel, much of it is relevant to guitar.

@hungryformusik 4 года назад

I just stumbled over this progression a few weeks ago. It is also called the Minor Cycle. If you start (in the key of C) with the 4th chord (Fmaj7) and change only one chord (namely E7 to Em7) and loop at the end, you get the Major Cycle. Sometimes you don't need to learn so much. If you know one thing, you almost know another thing already, and for a beginner like me it then doesn't feel so overwhelming anymore.

That piece essentially walks through exactly the same progression in all keys in a very similar way. I'm sure there are other examples too - but that was the one he pointed me towards

Just what I needed for those Abm7 - Db7 weak spots in my playing like your student was complaining, and it's pretty and hits all the diatonic 7th chords once or twice. I have what I think is one suggestion to make it even prettier on the 4th bar of each phrase, make the Am7 ( etc ) on beats 3 and 4 , make it a 7th chord, so Am7 - A7 then the next line, Gm7 C7 etc. The A7 isn't a perfect cadence, but it gives the end the phrase a lift for the next four bar modulation.
