Hello guys, time for a little CHORD VOICING workout.

This progression below was played by MasterKraft years ago. You'll do well, therefore, to etch it into your hands and memory asap.

Play it on the key of Db. You can transpose to other keys of your choosing (preferably all twelve). The sheet music of this example you'll find below.

LH / RH (chord name)

1. f m / l m (M7)

2. t re / l r s (7alt)

3. m r / s t fe (m9)

4. l de / s d f (7alt)

5. r d / f l m (m9)

6. fe / m l r (slash chord: in this case Eb2/G)

7. s / f l d m (11)

8. s f / t m l (13)

9. d m / l r s (6/9)



A. TECHNICAL LESSON.

Note that most of the voicings above are OPEN, that is, in open position. Not in block forms or stacked thirds (except the 11 chord in this example), but nicely spaced out. Lemme for a minute talk about what each hand is doing here.


1. Left Hand (LH)


The LH plays the root note (obviously) plus-or-minus other chord tones. These other chord tones are usually the 3rd and the 7th, occasionally the 5th, the b5th, anything. Notice the 7alt - m9 sequence in chords 2 through 5 above (the t-m-l-r). That's a series of circle-of-4ths-progression chords with an alternating root-3rd and root-7th figure in the LH. These are called shells. Any piano player worth his salt knows this and plays shells routinely. Practice shells alternating root-7ths and root-3rds like that all through the circle of 4ths to master this skill.

An advantage for those with a large hand stretch or long fingers is that you can occasionally play a root-3rd shell as a tenth interval, a phenomenon that has been referred to as 'phatness' in gospel music circles (though not the only thing that can make a chord sound 'phat').


2. Right Hand (RH)

The RH plays the top note (usually keeping a melody line if present) and/or other chord tones. Now, notice above how the lowest RH note (usually handled by the thumb) completes the shells of the LH; this is very essential. For LH root-3rd shells, the RH completes it by playing the 7th tone of that chord with the thumb. Same goes for LH root-7th shells with the RH thumb playing the 3rd tone. Again, top keyboardists know to do this whenever needed.

Pay attention to the RH chord shapes, how MasterKraft favoured playing open forms in most of them, if not all of them. For example, chords 2, 4, 6, 8 and 9 are all quartals in the RH - clean sounds. Chord 1 just has the notes l and m, whereas it could have been l d m, adding the d (the 5th tone of the M7 chord) to complete the RH triad. It would still sound good, but notice the openness of the chord with the note omitted. Chords 3 and 5 have one RH note omitted, which happens to be the 7th tone (s t r fe and f l d m respectively). The LH takes care of those 7th tones. Which brings up the phenomenon in chord voicings called doubling of tones and the idea of dropping of notes.

If the r and the d respectively were to be played on the RH as well as the LH, doubling is said to occur. Not necessarily bad, but usually avoided for a cleaner sound. If on the other hand the RH tones are omitted and transferred to the LH, they are said to be 'dropped down'. Usually giving cleaner, thicker, spread-out sounds.


3. Both Hands

Finally, notice how each chord seamlessly moves from one into the other, each tone (or voice) of a chord leading naturally into those of the next, looking at it from a horizontal point of view. The fingers of the LH and RH cooperate and act as if they were choristers, singing individual parts. This is called good voice leading, another feature of good piano playing (linear harmony). This is when you hear something and then say that "choi, it is as if Kevin Bond is making the piano to sing and making me want to cry!" Pro tip: listen to the music of the acapella group Take 6, you'll appreciate what I just talked about now.




B. MORAL LESSON.

I keep shouting all this to loads of keyboard players that are too set in their old ways, playing triads on the RH with one-note bass on the LH, or playing what I call 'music textbook' chords, usually block or stacked chords on the RH, sometimes even on the LH. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it gets old pretty quickly and you'll keep sounding the same, usually just sounding seriously RAZZ (sorry but it's the truth my eyes have seen and my ears have heard), all the while wondering why you can't get ahead in your piano playing and sound like the big cats you hear on records.


I'm revealing some of the hidden secrets to you now; play open voicings! Know about voice leading, drop voicings, note doubling, all these things. It's not enough to just sit around mindlessly collecting chords you don't understand from other people who aren't explaining it very well (you know nah, when that dude in the DVD you ordered starts spoon-feeding you chords, saying "leff haend, Db, Ab, F, raih haend D# E# B# Fb" till your head starts spinning, all you're hearing is "flaet, flaet, shaarp, two, shaarp, faev" You need to understand the basis of such videos. Begin studying the underlying principles of chord voicings. Emulate note-for-note how the big cats like Cory or Bond or MasterKraft distribute the chord tones between their fingers and hands. These chords are not just played by chance or by luck, every note of every chord being played is deliberate. Be deliberate; change the old ways you play chords and incorporate newer, more open, clean chord voicings.

Here's the sheet music of this one. More examples to come.

Hello guys, time for a little CHORD VOICING workout.

This progression below was played by MasterKraft years ago. You'll do well, therefore, to etch it into your hands and memory asap.

Play it on the key of Db. You can transpose to other keys of your choosing (preferably all twelve). The sheet music of this example you'll find below.

LH / RH (chord name)

1. f m / l m (M7)

2. t re / l r s (7alt)

3. m r / s t fe (m9)

4. l de / s d f (7alt)

5. r d / f l m (m9)

6. fe / m l r (slash chord: in this case Eb2/G)

7. s / f l d m (11)

8. s f / t m l (13)

9. d m / l r s (6/9)



A. TECHNICAL LESSON.

Note that most of the voicings above are OPEN, that is, in open position. Not in block forms or stacked thirds (except the 11 chord in this example), but nicely spaced out. Lemme for a minute talk about what each hand is doing here.


1. Left Hand (LH)


The LH plays the root note (obviously) plus-or-minus other chord tones. These other chord tones are usually the 3rd and the 7th, occasionally the 5th, the b5th, anything. Notice the 7alt - m9 sequence in chords 2 through 5 above (the t-m-l-r). That's a series of circle-of-4ths-progression chords with an alternating root-3rd and root-7th figure in the LH. These are called shells. Any piano player worth his salt knows this and plays shells routinely. Practice shells alternating root-7ths and root-3rds like that all through the circle of 4ths to master this skill.

I'm revealing some of the hidden secrets to you now; play open voicings! Know about voice leading, drop voicings, note doubling, all these things. It's not enough to just sit around mindlessly collecting chords you don't understand from other people who aren't explaining it very well (you know nah, when that dude in the DVD you ordered starts spoon-feeding you chords, saying "leff haend, Db, Ab, F, raih haend D# E# B# Fb" till your head starts spinning, all you're hearing is "flaet, flaet, shaarp, two, shaarp, faev" You need to understand the basis of such videos. Begin studying the underlying principles of chord voicings. Emulate note-for-note how the big cats like Cory or Bond or MasterKraft distribute the chord tones between their fingers and hands. These chords are not just played by chance or by luck, every note of every chord being played is deliberate. Be deliberate; change the old ways you play chords and incorporate newer, more open, clean chord voicings.

Here's the sheet music of this one. More examples to come.

Thanks for this. Kindly share the original music file from MasterKraft.
