You Should Know This Chick Corea-Style Two-Hand Overlapping Arpeggio

Once you understand this chord structure, your piano playing will never be the same. It's used commonly in both Jazz and Neo Soul, but you'll really hear it used in an absolutely gorgeous way in modern Neo Soul-Inspired tracks that cross genres as well. A really important part of this sound is the dim(maj7) chord, i.e. a diminished triad with a major 7. The structure comes down to being built like a block chord, but with a major 7 instead of a 6. Use this over any melody or chord progression for a modern sound. Enjoy this jazz and Neo Soul piano tutorial with Noah Kellman.

This awesome Chick Corea-style arpeggio technique is an excellent addition to your jazz piano vocabulary. I highly recommend you learn it because the little riffs / slides within are very useful, even if you don't play this lick exactly as is in this jazz piano lesson.

minor second plus a fourth, or tritone plus a minor second, is a good interval combination, nice short
