Показать описание
If you want to play really interesting comping then you need to work with rootless jazz guitar chords so that you have the freedom to play more interesting and interactive things behind a soloist.

A good starting point to explore some useful II V I voicings. Focus on connecting the chords with some great melodies, rhythms, and inner-voice movement.

Traditional and more modern sounds working with some reharmonizations of the II V I as well.

Content:
0:00 Intro
0:23 Why You Use Rootless voicings
00:45 The Basic Position and II V I chord set

---- 3-note chords ----

0:54 #1 - A Strong Top-not melody is essential. You can always move from 7 to 6 on the I chord.

1:25 #2 - Let the Melody carry and drive the progression

1:53 #3 - You can have chromatic passing notes in the inner-voices as well. 6 to 5 on the I chord is another cool inner-voice

2:27 #4 - Incomplete altered dominant chords often work well (because the altered notes are clear enough)

2:58 #5 - busy chromatic melody (but it is possible)

---- 4-note chords ----

3:27 #6 - You can also repeat a melody note
3:53 #7 - Make more layers by splitting the chord
4:20 #8 - A little more rhythm and a So-What voicing for the II Chord
4:49 #9 - Rich sounding 13b9 and Maj7(13) chords!
5:16 #10 - A little more rhythm and counter-movement on the II chord

---- Changing the Chord Sounds ----

5:45 #11 - Line cliche with Dm, DmMaj7, Dm7
6:17 #12 - C# dim chord to lead to G7
6:46 #13 - Ab7 to lead to G
7:15 #14 - Building the chord with the melody
7:42 #15 - Quartal Voicins and Clusters
