Add Passing Bass Movement Between Piano Chords Using Just 2 Triads
Here's a simple strategy to bring in Passing Bass movement on the Piano using 2 static chords - Bb Major & D Major. We incrementally move from 1 note to all the chromatic possibilities. Also, to push our hand coordination, I've given 3 rhythm patterns in the RH - Blocks, Arpeggios & Tresillo. We cover passing bass ascending and descending to D, ascending to Bb, passing bass with ghost notes and full chromatic movement. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 Performance 00:33 Introduction 02:16 Patterns in RH 05:47 Pattern in LH 09:18 LH + RH 11:44 Passing Bass Ascending to D 18:14 Passing Bass Movement with Ghost Notes 18:58 Passing Bass Descending to D 20:48 Passing Bass Ascending to Bb 24:06 Passing Bass Chromatic Movement 27:18 Summary ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ============================= 🎓 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/ #PassingBass #PianoTriads #PianoLesson
