Here's Behn's video:

I talk here about starting the chords from a different note. Kind of cool what you get.

TRADUCIDO AL ESPAÑOL PARA ESTUDIANTES

Título: Un pequeño pensamiento añadido al vídeo de Behn. Armonizando la escala disminuida.

En este vídeo hablo acerca de empezar los acordes desde una nota diferente. Es muy chevere lo que obtienes.

Here are some thoughts and ways to begin with rootless voicings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chinese translation for Chinese students.

學會如何演奏出Rootless voicing,
Step1:先找出和弦的 1,3,5,7音
Step2:去掉根音(root)，加進9音。
Step3:去掉5音，加進11, 13音。
如果是屬和絃(Dominant)通常是加入13音。
例如G13，會用9和13音。在一定保留3,7音的情況下，這個Voicing的組成音就是 F,A,B,E.
再例如Cmajor7, 去掉根音加上9音。大部份會再去掉5音，加上升11音(#11等於#4)。會得到Lydian的聲音

Hi Guys this month i'm going to do the second part of my lesson for those of you who wants to practice quartal voicings and applied them in modal jazz.

As usual feel free to contact me through my website: www.giovanniperin.com and to follow me on FB and Youtube!

This lesson is for my student Chien Chien, but you guys can practice it as well!

I just wanted to give her a chorus of chords over the jazz tune Tricotism and then a chorus of a simple solo, outlining the chords. Making a solo in a simple way.

I hear so many students playing all this 'stuff' over a tune and then I ask them to play something very simple and they can't. Chien Chien can. She's an amazing musician with ears we all wish we had. Most of our lesson I just play the chords, I don't have to tell her what chords they are.

I gave myself the ultimate challenge this winter break. I said even if for no reason I was going to make a solo cd in my basement. I did and it was difficult, challenging and fun. And difficult and challenging!

I worked really hard, doing a few versions of each tune. It really helped me a lot. Only 1 edit on the whole cd when I screwed up the out head. Awful to come that far and then screw something up!!! :-)

An experienced vibe player plays a lot less roots than an inexperienced one. We know that roots for us do not move the harmony, the upper partials do. I've talked extensively about this on vibes workshop.

Also with a bass player there's no need to play the bass notes right? So work on your rootless voicings.

One thing I've talked about is the following. Play these chords:

Fmaj7
E triad / F
Emin7

That's what the chords look like without the roots. That's a ii V I in the key of C. Play it you'll see.
