Harpejji Jazz Voicings 2

This is the third in a series of articles about harpejji technique. The first one was about major scales and the second one was about right hand jazz voicings. This one is a direct follow-up to the latter, as it presents a alternate, complementary set of right hand voicings for jazz harmony.

To make the best out of the material here, I strongly suggest you first read and practice the first set of voicings.

This is the second in a series of articles about harpejji technique. The first one was about major scales and this one is about right hand jazz voicings.

When rehearsing for the Passeador project I explored some of the possibilities of the harpejji in jazz comping. One of the ingredients is right hand voicings. I will not go into a full course about voicings, but one of the very standard way of playing chords in jazz is alternating between chords of the form 3rd-5th-7th-9th and 7th-9th-3rd-5th.

Ear Training Software

I like “top-down” approaches to ear-training - where you try and learn to recognize chord patterns as a whole rather than recognizing notes first, then chords and things such as cadences in the end. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a piece of software that let you practise exactly that?
