3 Modern Piano Chord Voicings + Arpeggio Sets
Learn 3 modern, beautiful chord voicing techniques in the left hand plus colourful arpeggio 'sets' in the right — the sound of contemporary jazz piano. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches three left-hand voicing techniques that stretch your hands to reach jazz extensions and tensions — sevenths, 9ths and 13ths — under a colourful right-hand chord played as arpeggios. Once the voicings are in place you'll explore accents and grouping of arpeggios across two division systems, triplets and semiquavers, deliberately playing 'against' the standard divisions to create polyrhythmic phrasing. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:53 Chord Voicing & Time Feels 03:52 Right Hand Chord (7sus4) 04:20 Chords in the LH 05:43 Voicing Technique 1 (Extensions) 08:44 RH Arpeggios 12:27 Voicing Technique 2 (Ninths) 15:59 “Open-ended” chords 16:44 Voicing Technique 3 (Jazz Tensions) 20:06 Going over all 3 Voicing techniques 20:58 Dividing the beat & Sets (Accents) 22:21 Division vs Note Sets (Patterns) 24:02 Sets of 3 & Divide by 4 28:56 Sets of 5 & Divide by 4 31:09 Sets of 2 & Divide by 4 31:43 Sets of 4 & Divide by 3 33:40 Sets of 3 & Divide by 3 33:58 Sets of 5 & Divide by 3 35:28 Conclusion 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🤚 All our Hand Independence Lessons ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-On4vodpAoZqTlWDCS5jv7 🎵 Spread Voicing of Chords ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT_K6G85ibBIRn4K63BDlbTE 🎹 Arpeggios ➡️ https://geni.us/Arpeggios ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 Call +91 98454 65411 · 💬 WhatsApp chat +91 77604 56847 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #PianoLessons #PianoTutorial #JazzPiano #PianoArpeggios
