@@KCOOKSMUSIC honestly didn't put a time frame to it, our muscle memory differs, how we learn differs, experiences differ, I took each key per day and just grind on it, the main point is self belief, cos it was really hard initially. Playing drop voicings also helps with rootless style of playing

Great lesson, thanks so much Sean!

Man listen, I've seen a lot of drop two videos and none of them have left me as informed as yours! I not only just learned how they work, but how to form my own!! Thank you sooo much sir!!!

A really helpful lesson, thank you Sean.

2 min. in and Im already liking you. I like the way you comunicate, and you how you get right into it. Thank you for this lesson

Great lesson! I learned a lot and have a much better understanding of drop 2 voicings now. Thank you!

Amazing teaching brother. Thank you and God bless you.

man you just unlocked something Ive been trying to figure out for a looooong time

Something that helped me is to think of the chord in two groups: root and 5th, and 3rd and 7th. You always have one of those in the left hand and the other on the right. When you go up and down you change to the other group in each hand. This also translates perfectly when you start doing the drop 2-4 voicings.

thanks Sean for the lesson..watching your video is help me a lot to improve more..especially on the chord variation😊👍😊👍

VERY EXCITED TO START DOING THIS THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR

dude….👏🏼 wonderful, thank you 🙏🏼

Yes! That practice schedule is EVERYTHING!!!! The website is the BEST!!!

This is the best explanation I have ever seen of this seemingly mystical technique. I will definitely be practicing these. I think practicing them within the context of a key, or progression will help immensely too in helping to see how you transition between these kinds of voicings in a song.

Great lesson on these drop 2 chords, they are beautiful. These are super useful in other styles too. If you have a large left hand you can play these with the left hand only and walk stride piano chords (one chord per beat in 4/4) using them going to the next closest inversion with the left hand only opening up your right hand for soloing, more harmony or anything. Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson did this and it's a big sound. Keep up the great videos.

I've been including drop 2 chords in my pieces now for almost two years but I've had to painfully practice the phrases because I haven't been able to "see" the chords and put my hands on them instantly the way I can with closed voicings. These suggestions started to work for me the first hour I tried it. And if you distribute the chords with two notes on each hand, for some reason the pattern is easier to see. Thanks.

if anybody thinks in intervals, I find that the pattern "p4 in left, p4 in both, p5 in left, p5 in both." is helpful for learning the inversions of the major and minor 7ths. I also noticed when inverting the chords up the piano, the left hand interval of one chord will appear in right hand of the next chord. Vice versa when going downward. Can be a good reminder when you get stuck

The benefit of using the 2/2 approach is that it teaches the left hand to use perfect fourths, tritones, and perfect fifths. It's actually pretty cool once you get the pattern. *Also, playing 1 note in the left-hand is a crutch that musicians need to break away from, in my opinion

I never realized how simple it is to form drop 2 voicing

For the minor 7, half dim and dim, you can move from inversion to inversion by putting a dim chord in between. What would you put in between major 7th inversions? A dim chord sounds strange.

@@SeanWilsonPiano thanks for the quick response! I understand.

Now that I’m going through it, it’s changing my outlook and all I can see drop 2 chords as are inversions with the “perceived” 3rd raised an octave. If you practice your inversions then drop 2 should be easy coming from inversions. just take the 2nd interval out and raise it an octave. Idk if you ended up saying that in the video, I started the drill as soon as you broke it down

Why is the drop 2 taking the G which is the 3rd note of the major 7 chord instead of doing the E note which the 2 note of the chords? This is good but can you explain why you chose G and not E? Thank you much.

@Dakotanoxon

It takes the second note from the top of the inversion

Please do a tetorial and demonstrate how to apply these chords in real time, in few songs please.

Interesting enough the I’ve heard these exact chords arranged into a form of background filler music to a couple movies. One that I can think of off top is Fifty shades of grey and also a Tyler Perry movie
