Do you know jazz piano voicings but have no idea how to play them in tempo? This video offers you the solution to get a start on playing in swing feel without having to learn how to play a walking bass line or comp rhythms in the right hand.
This video is just a start for you: it’s a quick and easy way to get the voicings you know into tempo so you can accompany yourself or another person. Later: time to learn that walking bass line!
You’ll be able to utilize the method outlined in the video if you already know basic jazz chord voicings. If not, your starting point should be to do that. See link below to Michele’s Jazz Piano Handbook which covers basic entry level voicings all the way through fairly complex voicings, rhythmic patterns of swing and bossa, and more.
Don’t forget to download the free PDF at the link above: INSTANT JAZZ PIANO SWING FEEL ACCOMPANIMENT DOWNLOAD. It will give you in fully notated form 2 examples from the video so you can continue your practice.
