Chords & Harmony - Accompanying a singer by Ted Wolff

When Tony announced this month's chords and harmony topic there were some comments expressing interest in exploring ideas for comping for a vocalist.

When working with a singer I generally try to play a minimalist roll. I think of myself as the picture frame surrounding a beautiful painting. Play something that enhances the vocal without getting in the way or interfering with the voice. Less is more!

Chords & Harmony - Open & Closed Voicings - A methodical approach by Ralph Wyld

I've been thinking lots about the open/closed thing that Tony brought up again recently, and so I've come up with an exercise which I've been doing everyday this week. It's quite big... I can just about get through all the keys in a hour now, and it still makes my head hurt following it through and remembering which chord I'm on! But I really feel it's improving my knowledge of scales (just major so far, but there's no reason why it won't work through other scales/progressions etc.), and the chords within scales.
