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.

OK so it's 4 bars. Play it twice :-)

Get it under your hands and play it in C. Every few days play it in another key.

REMEMBER: play all these exercises in time. That is learn them and then make sure you can play it in time. Don't learn them out of time and then move on. Get it?

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 around and whenever you want do the exercise HOWEVER do it different keys. This will really help your comping as you will start moving the chords up and down the keys.

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 between chords. Observe all dampening and pedal marks.
