Moanin' with Close Voicings and Comping
Музыка
Practice your close voicings with this groovy standard "Moanin'".
Close voicings are often called "rootless voicings", or - when played in the left hand - "left hand voicings". They are the foundation of jazz piano playing, and should be practiced until they become second nature!
For maj7 and min7 chords we use 9th chords (maj9 and min9) without the root. For dom7 chords we use guide tones + 9 and 13, again without the root.
Since Moanin' is written in a minor tonality (F minor), we should treat the Fm chord as a first degree which is usually played as a min6 chord!

Great explanation of how to approach a standard for an intermediate jazz pianist like me. You have revealed so many 'secrets' in a short tutorial . Usually teachers give you one bit of information (in far too much depth), whereas you have given tons of information in bitesize chunks. This is basically a blueprint for how I can practice other songs. Thank you for your work, this is awesome
Thats the best jazz tutorial i have seen so far
Hello. Stijin.Your lecture is special. Thank you so much.
I love how you add techniques bit by bit throughout the video, very helpful!! Can't wait to give it a shot!
I've listened to this several times. Just because I want to hear it again.
Wow! You ROCKED that standard!
This channel is incredible. I don't know how i could have been ignoring it so far

This is exactly what I have been searching for three years! I’m in tears 😭Anything is missing. I would love a tutorial that covers the position of the closed voicings.

Hi. :) I have a question. At 04:04 we have a G7. I tried to follow you and to play a G dominant/altered scale on it but it doesn't sound good to my ears. I noticed you correctly didn't play any note on it. Could you explain why this appens? Many thanks.

@@marcopepe4046 Hi, I think it's a coincidence I didn't play anything on the G7 there. You could definitely play something on that chord, and the G7altered scale would be a good choice. But it's important you make it work and resolve to the C7 chord that comes after. You could play an altered line like the one I played on F7 two bars before that G7 (transpose the line 1 step up of course, and resolve to the E natural on C7). One thing I try to do is pick a few notes of the altered scale that resolve to the next chord (I seldom play the whole scale on just 1 bar). Hope that was a bit of help..? :-)
