8MAD - Voice Leading - Day 5

Content type: Blog entry
Day 5: We've combined the top note passing tones with the inner voice passing tones. It's a little tricky to complete all this dampening in tempo, so be sure to pick a nice, relaxed pace to work at!

8MAD - Voice Leading - Day 4

Content type: Blog entry
Day 4: Rather than having the top notes of the chords as the passing tones, we've changed the passing tones to inner voicings. These passing tones have the b9, which creates a different tension.

This is a great exercise to help you really start thinking about comping through the scales. It's the A section to Little Sunflower harmonized in block chords. It's easy and if you know the tune you'll easily play it in D minor. Keep it…

8MAD - Voice Leading - Day 3

Content type: Blog entry
Day 3: There are additional passing tones in m2, 4, and 6. M2 and 4 have b13 passing tones. This adds some tension to the voicings. As in the other lessons, dampen and create legato transitions between the notes.

Day 2: You will notice that the voicings are the exact same as day 1, but the major difference here is the dampening. Rather than attacking each new chord, dampen the one note that changes. This will create a nice, legato transition…

8MAD - Voice Leading - Day 1
behng
Content type: Blog entry
For this week of 8MAD, we'll be looking at voice leading. I like to think of comping more in terms of voice leading. Rather than just thinking about 4 note voicings, it's also good to think about where each note wants to go. For day 1,…

8MAD - Developing A Turnaround Line - Day 1
behng
Content type: Blog entry
Turnaround lines are very important in jazz because we see progressions all the time like 2-5-3-6, 1-6-2-5 etc. The more vocabulary you learn over turnarounds, the better! Turnarounds aren't just at the ends of forms, but can be anywhere…

Content type: Blog entry
Day 3: The two main tweaks in this lesson are in the C7 measures. In M2, there's an Ab in the line, giving it a darker color than just having the A natural. In M6, the C augmented triad is outlined. Many bebop masters use augmented triads…

Content type: Blog entry
Day 4: You will notice the first measure has been changed slightly. Rather than have it go up the Gm dorian as it has been, this measure has a melodic minor type sound to it. Even though it's a Gm7 chord, the F# is really just a passing…

Content type: Blog entry
In Day 2, you will start to notice the use of a few chromatic notes and approach tones. The line is similar and still pretty diatonic. Take notice of the surround tones in M4. You will see lines like this all the time in bebop where there'…
